I've just cut them down myself. I just use a telescoping saw that is available at Ace or any hardware store. If you leave them there, they will ripen and then fall making a mess on the lawn. I like to get them down before they mature. They weigh much less before they mature and the bunch is easier to handle. Be careful if cutting them down yourself to avoid letting them fall on you as they are quite heavy once mature.
