Grass clippings will always be a part of lawn care. You can bag clippings or recycle them by returning them to the lawn.
As a general rule, grass clippings of an inch or less in length can be left on your lawn where they will filter down to the soil surface and decompose quickly. Remove longer clippings because they can shade or smother the grass beneath causing lawn damage.
Use clippings as a garden mulch or compost them instead of throwing out bagged grass clippings as yard waste.
