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.
