AA becomes newest drop-off site for the Hope Grass Project
KYALAMI – The Automobile Association (AA) has partnered with AgriSA to become the newest drop-off site for the Hope Grass Project.
This project collects lawn cuttings from homes, plots and businesses to be distributed to farmers in drought-stricken areas for animal feed. Once dried, the lawn cuttings are collected by AgriSA who then process the cuttings into grass pellets.
Layton Beard, spokesperson for AA said, “We are offering our premises in Kyalami as a drop-off site and will manage the grass coming in to ensure that it is suitable to be donated. We know the drought in South Africa is having a devastating impact on farmers across the country and will have an adverse knock-on effect on the economy. This is our small way of helping.”

Beard urged Midrand residents to bring their lawn cuttings to the drop-off site at AA’s head office in Kyalami at Denis Paxton House, 4 Hyperion Road, Barbeque Downs.

The drop-off site will be open from Monday to Friday between 8am and 4pm.
