Disposing of clippings almost doubles the effort of the job. I mow my lawns without the hopper so the clippings are free to return to nature, and I don't have to stop and empty the hopper 4-5 times.

Meh, they're getting paid a pretty substantial amount of money to do a poor quality job. The least they can do is leave the place in a respectable state. It's not that difficult.

I reckon you'd find their boss was getting paid well for the job. As it's government work, they charge high and send some numpty to do it because as you know the complaints process isn't functional.
