 I’m lucky in a way.  I only have to get them to the curb and the Township picks them up with a large vacuum.  I hate those screaming 2-cycle Leaf Blowers so I use a rake and blue tarps.  But, my neighbor just got a Toro electric that was pretty impressive.  Not too noisy and very powerful.  I think I’ll get one for next year. 
 Seven 35 gallon cans last week, which was the front.  Saturday, I'll fill em up with the backyard leaves.  I mulch then bag.  Time consuming but worth it.  I live in the City BTW, huge Triple trunk Maple in the back, and two huge maples in the front yard.  The wind blows the fugging things onto my fence.
