fatshot I got mine out to the curb twice in the last couple of weeks, and the city picked them up. Luckily, I inherited (from my late father-in-law) a leaf sweeper that I pull behind my lawn tractor. After yesterday's high winds (30-40 mph at
times!) there's not a leaf in sight!!!
I blow most of my leaves out in the yard them mulch them up with my mower. There are some areas that are a PITA to try to blow out so I bought a small hand held electric Toro blower/vacuum/mulcher yesterday to do the hard places. I blows the mulched leaves into a shoulder mounted bag with then gets dumped into the trash,
