A push-type or pull-type lawn sweeper is a relatively inexpensive way to collect lawn waste. A sweeper is old technology, but it's still effective for many types of lawn waste. The rotating brush will pick up grass clippings and most leaves. It will not dig small leaves out of turf, nor will it handle all types of large leaves. It may plug up with some types of pine needles. It will not shred or compress lawn waste. 2, record 3, English, - lawn%20sweeper
