If the Grass is Wet when cut and then put Green Bin as a lump I get that Horrible Rotting Smell.
Have you just tried leaving your Green Bins out in the Sun with the Lids Off for a couple of days?

Good possibilities. I’m limited on these options for various reasons but it may come down to changing the day if all else fails.
Couldn’t agree more.
The wetness is a big reason it’s so bad for sure. SoCal’s rainy season is just about over so this will be less of an issue.
Right now with the lids off we attract every fly for miles. It’s a small property too so the smell (and flies) get inside. But we definitely have to let the sun work its magic at least once when the rains are done.
Yeah... You Can't have Stink without Moister. Drying them out would be My 1st priority.
I live in a rather economically depressed area. It has many disadvantages as a result but when I hear what it's like living in other areas, I feel kinda blessed.
A friend of mine used to have fish truck,he would use ground coffee. Since I had a coffee roasting business, he kept me in seafood.

I have a small lawn and bag my grass. We have a local company called Compost Connection that I pay a yearly fee to and they pick up my grass bags weekly. It’s pretty affordable in my opinion.
That's $5.21 or more per bag on the smallest annual plan!
I wonder how much they get for the compost they make.
That keeps coming up yet ignored. I never knew so many people still bagged their lawn clippings.
I don’t get your math. I pay $150 per year and can put out five bags a week for 52 weeks a year. I usually put out from March through November so it’s not 52 weeks but more like 36 weeks. $150 divided by 36 is $4.16 per week and $4.16 divided by 5 is 83 cents per bag. If I don’t bag then the thatch builds up over time and I have to rent a power rake or verticut. Like I said, my lawn is small so it’s not a lot of work to bag it and my yard will look like a carpet all spring and summer. I like to keep it nice. Besides grass clippings, I can also put out tree clippings and branches.
Oh right i was figuring bags per month not week, on the $125 plan. That comes to $1.20/bag or more + the bag.
That's awesome! My mowers don't last me more than 15 years. I'm hard on them. 16 city lots a week. Half my property is undeveloped land & kinda rugged for push mowing.
I keep buying Toro Recyclers (my last 3 models) but I wish I had bought a Super Recycler back when they were worth buying. Just bought a new Recycler last year and so far so good. But the Recycler model my Aunt bought 4 years ago (20336) has been utter junk from day-one and I haaaaate using it - I wish it dead every time I mow her lawn.
Yours is a little older than mine. I have a toro recycler that I bought in 2000 the year after we bought our house. I’ve put a transmission on it several years ago for about $40 and a little time. I replaced the pull rope once. It still starts the first pull every time.
I've got a '78 lawn boy side discharge 2-stroke. I never wanted a mulcher because I like trying to shoot the neighbors sweet gum sticky balls back at his yard. lol I need to try to put yet another ignition module in it though, they were problematic.
In our case it’s a hired gardener and he doesn’t have a mulch mower. Not my house so I don’t have the authority to switch to a different gardener. Very soon the dry summer will stop the grass growing much.
Back in PA when I had 3 acres to mow I sure didn’t bag any grass! I had a commercial grade Exmark Lazer Z 60” mulching mower that cost about $6500 in 2003 or 2004. It was a beautiful machine but I don’t miss needing to use it.
That’s after brewing, right? Interesting idea. Not sure we are allowed to put coffee grounds in though. The rules are wacky.
He would use fresh grounds after a washout, said it absorbed the odor so he could take produce to the coast.
That’s nothing. I rebuilt the carb once and replaced wheel parts a bit. Otherwise, same thing…first pull. An old Craftsman back when they made good stuff. Tecumseh engine.
Lawn Boy was the Cadillac of lawn mowers back in the day.
