While the standard option for dealing with the grass clippings is to just discharge them onto your lawn, you can also use a mulching kit on it to turn the grass clippings into a nutritious mulch. Alternatively you can buy a rear bagger unit to collect the grass clippings to leave your lawn looking a lot neater.
