Automobile Association becomes newest drop-off site for Hope Grass Project

Speaking on behalf of AA, Layton Beard said the project focused on the collection of lawn cuttings from homes, plots, and businesses. The cuttings are collected by AgriSA which processes them into grass pellets for cattle and sheep in drought-stricken areas.

Beard said, “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. We, therefore, urge all people in Midrand to bring their lawn cuttings to us and we will pass it on to AgriSA.”

AA has already collected 400kg of dry grass as part of its efforts for the project.

The drop-off site for the lawn cuttings is the 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.
