Will Mow for Clippings

Finally, the rain stopped.
My husband called around lunch to ask, "What was the best thing you did so far today?"
I mowed the lawn at the preschool.
The rain did wonders to catch us up on some much needed precipitation, but my mulching system looks worse from wear.  The newspaper is starting to disintegrate and the grass clippings are washing away.
Seems like I am always on the lookout for a chemical free lawn to mow.  I gladly offered to do the lawn at the preschool, for the clippings.
The one thing that keeps me from turning the whole yard under and planting it with fruit trees and vegetables is the fact that I'd miss the grass for mulching.  Grass clippings keep down the weeds and help the soil retain moisture and reduce my work load.
I hear that the neighbor's lawn mower is broken.  Maybe I'll offer to mow his lawn, for the clippings
