Grass cuttings

Yes grass cuttings can be recycled.

REUSE

You can leave short clippings on the lawn as they break down into the grass very easily making a free fertilizer for you to use. To make sure this happens properly, only clip off about one-third of the blade of grass every time you mow.
You can add them to your own compost bin which will help to break down all the other organic matter you are collecting.
You can gather some clippings and then let them steep in water for a few days. Strain, and pour this “tea” on your house plants and watch them thrive.
You can use grass clippings as a mulch to help suppress weeds and to keep the soil cool. Mulch can sometimes be unsightly, so adding grass clippings will make your garden look more natural.
