If you snarf leaves (the technical term for taking others' rakings from 
their curbs), be a little cautious about those bags which contain grass 
clippings.   Chances are these contain small amounts of weed- killers which 
can be problematic if these bags are used in veggy gardens.   Shouldn't be a 
problem in the orchard, tho.

tc, yes I snarf

Yep.  Been hauling 'em home as fast as I can pitch 'em in the back of the 
truck.  I try to target yards with predominantly oaks &/or pines, and those 
where it looks like they chopped & vaccumed them with the mower.  Probably 
need to clean out the bed of the truck and slide my old 'cattle racks' in, 
so I can haul a bigger load without the bags blowing out on the way home.
Grabbed 4 or 5 bags this morning that I don't know what I'm gonna do with - 
feels like they're full of chestnut burs - I sure don't want to put them 
anywhere that I'm gonna be walking barefoot!
