From untreated lawns, mine and the neighbors, I will cut the grass just like hay, leaving swaths to collect with a lawnsweeper once dry. Its nice when you can get it like green hay. Light, easy to deal with, but wet or fresh is ok too, it just gets like mush and is slippery is all.
I collect what I need and lay a thick layer on the soil around the plants in the garden. I'll leave thin strips open if its fresh seed that has been planted.

Another corner where the soil was rocky and more clay/gravel/loam, I piled a bunch of green dried grass, the grasses there now are greener than any other area, it definitely is loaded with nitrogen.
