Yes, in small amounts, but keep in mind, grass clipping may generate heat, and burst into flame.

What is best for a lawn on sandy soils is it best to mulch the lawn or remove the clippings each mowing How much is a good amount of mulch to build up Does mulch hold moisture and prevent rapid drough?
The grass clippings provide a great source of nitrogen for the grass. It is best to leave the clippings. It does help retain moisture. The grass clippings can even be used as a mulch for plant beds.
Does grass die if there is grass clippings on top on it?
Yes and no. Some modern lawnmowers are designed to 'mulch' the grass. That is, when used without the grass collection box/bag, they chop the clippings very fine and dump them on the lawn as you mow. This, if done every second or third cut, actually helps the lawn by feeding it. The grass needs to be quite short already to do this. If it is too long the mower will continually clog. If you leave heavy grass clippings on you lawn you will prevent light from reaching the grass and therefore stop photosynthesis and the grass under the clippings will die.

Should you collect your lawn clippings or let them stay in the grass?
If you leave the clippings, they will act as a mulch which can be beneficial. On the negative side, it can cause a build-up of thatch, reduce the amount of light reaching the grass, increase the likelihood of disease due to both the decomposition process and the reduction in air circulation, and can cause the soil to become water-repellent. One thing to consider is the laws within your individual municipality. Many cities have enacted laws prohibiting citizens from sweeping, dumping, or disposing of grass clippings into the stormwater system. Stormwater systems, unlike wastewater systems are not treated. Everything that is disposed of into the stormwater system will over time make it into a river, bay, creek or other water body. Grass clippings will eventually clog the stormwater system which may result in flooding. Also, as grass decomposes it releases chemicals which may damage the ecosystem. Mulch well and keep it out of the storm drains.
