I'm fortunate living in town. I contact people who are raking leaves
for people. They usually mow the leaves in the street and put them in
a trailer. They can haul more if the leaves have been ground by the
mower. The collectors have to pay to dump the leaves somewhere so I
offer my garden for free. I get a lot of leaves that way.
