By all means leave the cuttings on the lawn, but don't delude
yourself and any naive readers. Most readers of uk.rec.gardening
will compost the grass cuttings, which is environmentally much
the same as letting them lie. And, if you actually measure the
time that you save, you will find that it is small - especially
as you will have to collect the grass anyway if you need to cut
long, lush grass (e.g. due to a sustained period of warm, wet
weather preventing regular cutting).
