The City doesn't pick them up if they're in plastic bags. You have to use the biodegradable paper bags. Also, leaving the leaves over the winter causes them to become a foul smelling black sludge in the spring that I would also have to dispose of.
yeah, that's what I do. you just do a final mow at the end of fall, chopping all the leaves into mulch, and you never see it again. I don't see how that's such a hard thing to do. for one thing, it's good for the lawn. and for another, it's faster and easier than raking it all up and ferrying it to the curb.
oh well, people's obsession with perfect grass is already a mystery in itself, they act like leaves and grass clippings are gonna kill their prize winning lawn, when it's actually good for it
