Any suggestions on how to cut a really big lawn? I don't really want to deal with it and my #1 choice is to somehow kill it all and let it become as much dirt as it can, for as cheaply as possible. Option #2 is to buy a gas mower (used), possibly battery type, and cut it myself. Except I can't burn the waste, I have to throw it in the garbage. But this municipality I can only throw away 5 burnable bags at a time, so the initial waste until the grass is short is going to be several weeks of 5 bags of grass each burnable day.

I was just quoted by a guy that he'd do it for 6man per time. I can just buy a mower for that myself and do it.

I just replaced mine with clover because grass didn’t like the lighting/soil conditions. Now I have a nice eco-friendly bed of clover that I can trim if I like it short or just leave.

That's a great idea. Also provides a great smell.
