It wasn't terribly long and it isn't cut very short. It's a little clumped in a few places, but not much. Thanks.

No not if the clippings are short, if it is clumped on the lawn then remove it.

Buy a mulching blade for your mower. Any Lowe's or Home Depot should carry one. This will cut the clippings up very fine and they will decompose quicker. This also puts the nutrients from the grass clippings back into your lawn.
I own a John Deere tractor with a bagger and took it off to put mulching blades on. My grass has never looked better, and I don't have to keep stopping to empty the bags...That's a win/win ;-)

if there are clumps of grass on your lawn after you cut it then run the mover over the lawn again but in a different path then the first time so that you can cut up and spread the the grass clippings

Unless its excessive, like huge lumps all over, the grass clippings are actually benificial to the yards growth. It gives the nutrients back into the soil.
When i mow the yard and its a bit tall, ill go back over the lumps with the mower deck on a higher setting, to spread it around. It also helps the yard when you mow it in different patterns, it isnt accustomed to 'one way'.

It shouldn't be a big deal, unless your lawn is super long. It's actually good for your lawn to leave the clippings instead of raking them up, it's called mulching. Goodluck

No biggy. I never rake mine up. I figure I fertilized the lawn and it is in the clippings and they can go back to the soil and continue the process.

It depends on you. Actually it is good for your lawn because clippings converts in to fertilizer, so your lawn gets more nutrients. It may be bad if you think that clippings does not look good after you move. After it dries, it also goes with wind around your yard or your neighbor's yard.

Mostly it's not bad.
Do, however look at the ground between the grass.
You do not want to see too much build-up of dead grass.
It's called thatch, and can keep the soil from being properly oxygenated.

it depends on how tall the grass is and how short you are cutting it. small trimmings will decompose in about 3 days

I do it all the time and I never had any problems as a result. My grass is greener and healthier looking then all my neighbors.
