Recycle your grass using a mulching mower or by cutting your lawn frequently and leaving the grass on the lawn.
This does not contribute to thatch and provides excellent fertilizer. You can place grass out for the regular trash collection but this practice is not recommended by the Township or the Commonwealth of PA Department of Environmental Protection.
Please see picture below on proper way to place yard waste curbside.
