Compost the leaves!

I know you've already hauled them to the curb in some sort of desperate hope that some idiot will take them, but this lady, in true arlington fashion suggests you compost them.

Always with the helpful suggestions.

Leaves can be composted. You don't need anything fancy, just pile them
up somewhere. Put a little fence around them if you want to keep them
neat. Throw your used coffee grounds or veggie scraps in with them for
nitrogen. Watch them melt. For extra special results, run the lawn
mower over them.

Before I had to stop doing this myself,  I used to just use the lawn
mower instead of raking. Get a  "mulching" lawn mower, then you never
have to rake and bag leaves again.
