Idea for Grass Clipping Compactor

How about a grass clipping compactor? This could be attached to a lawnmower or a separate unit. If on a mower, the clippings bag would not have to be emptied as often. The mower could power this attachment or be linked to a separate unit via a power take off PTO shaft.
Taking this one step further, if on a mower, the clippings could be baled with a carrying handle and sent out the back, just like a farm baler. After cutting the grass, the mower operator could just pile the "grass bricks" for trash pickup.

Springboarding off these ideas, how about making "grass bricks" for use in house construction or home heating? There now exist houses made of "straw bales" having superior insulating qualities. Maybe the "grass bricks" would be easier to handle. In addition, the grass cut along the side of the roads could be recycled into "building bricks". For heat, there are some parts of the world that use manure bricks for heat, so using this concept, maybe use "dried grass bricks" for heat.

In all these grass options, one should make sure the grass does not have the possibility of spontaneous combustion. Again, using existing knowledge of hay baling would help in this area too.

• Existing garbage compactors, farm balers, etc.
