Mow Them: Use a lawn mower with a bag attachment to handle leaf debris in your yard. Disposal becomes a simple matter once the ground-up leaves are collected in the bag.
Vacuum Them: With a leaf vacuum, you can suck up all the fallen leaves, twigs, acorns, pine cones, and other debris into a bag and then grind them up for mulch or compost.
Blow Them: Use a leaf blower for managing and redistributing fallen leaves in large yards with a lot of trees.
Tarp Them: Put tarps down and blow or rake the leaves on the tarp for easy dragging and removal.
Mulch: Leaves make great mulch. It is good, if not better than anything you can buy. You can avoid the problem of fungus from wood mulch by using leaves.
Compost: Adding leaves along with grass, sticks, pine straw and a little soil to your compost pile will result in a high quality compost rich in nitrogen that is ideal for use in all your gardens and plantings around your yard.
Community Recycling: Offer your bagged leaves to neighbors who use mulch and compost. Or, drop them off at the Leaf Recycle Center.
