We have a yard waste collection site less then a block from our home so that's where they go. It's illegality to burn in the city so I never do that Will Hamm 🙄

Living in an area of tract homes means leaves are not a problem. I can rake up fallen leaves and deposit them into my green waste cart to be hauled away by the garbage company.

My husband says leaves are the cheapest natural mulch available.

He rakes the leaves and small sticks into a pile in the yard.

He uses our small chipper/shredder and chews the pile up.

It reduces the volume of the debris and makes a great natural mulch to put around our shrubs and flowers for FREE !

We can burn certain times of the year, but leaves just blow away around here. Haven't raked leaves in 30+ years. Some towns have leaf vacuums, where everyone rakes their leaves to the curb, and a truck drives around vacuuming them all up.

We need permission from our fire department to do that; definitely discouraged. Most homeowners just pack up their leaves in bags.

When I was young living in the city of Chicago we burned leaves at the curb. These days you have to bag them. Wehen I lived in the suburbs of Chicago burning was banned.

I have no clue what my clients do with their leaves... I don't consider myself their "leaf police." We can't burn them here. I suppose they rake them and put them in bags for city sanitation to pick up. In my neighborhood the leaves are all taken care of by the company that handles our lawn care.

Our town comes through about 3 times each fall and picks them up from the curb with a huge machine that sucks them up. We bag all leaves and yard waste during other times of the year and the city pick it up.

Expert guidance. Exceptional results.

Here in Massachusetts, we either mulch them or take them to the local landfill for mulching or recycling. We can not burn them.

Thankfully here in NW AZ there are very few trees and the few leaves fall to the ground and disintegrate. Back in NW IN we lived on 1/3 of an acre with about half of it sloping down to a creek. We had pine trees and the leaves we had were from the neighbors.
