I don't get it...
I see guys blowing leaves, but no way to pick them up or haul them off? Where did you blow them too, neghibors lawn?
Around here, to clean up leaves, you need a couple mowers with collection systems, a dump truck, and just one blower to blow out around the perimeter. Everything that's put into the truck has been shreaded finely, no whole leaves in the truck, takes up way too much room that way.

Around here you can just blow the leaves to the curb and the town will come by and pick them up. I am pretty sure that the town then composts the leaves and makes mulch out of them.

here in mass there is wayy too many leaves to just run them over with just a mower(i do that at the end to get every last one) i use 2 backpacks and sometimes 2 walkbehinds. most of my houses i can just blow it all into the woods, and the other ones i just rake em onto a tarp and put them in my dump trailer and haul em away
and no i dont use trash barrels in the sport trac id be there for years if i did that with the MASSIVE 4 foot bed lol

around here all the local townships have leaf collections/clean-ups, so we pile them, and they collect them, unless we missed the cleanup after dec. 1st usually, i just take them home and add them to the compost pile.
redmax blowers are great, i bought 2 this year, and i love them.

Blowing them in the woods is good job security. Some of them blow back into the lawn and yard and you get paid to do it again later!
I just visited a home today where the crew blows them off the lawn and into the extensive woods on a 2 acre lot where only some of it is grass. They'd had it completely leaf-free on Friday and today it looked like nobody'd been there in a month. Looked pretty good when I was there Friday as they were doing it. Today, not so hot. (and all the leaves have been off the trees for a while) Luckily the lots are big enough that the neighbors who have it done right don't complain as its not obvious where the leaves came from.
But the good news is they'll be back this Friday and it will look good again for a few days! Nice work if you can get it. I used to wonder what these guys with year-round contracts did all winter, now I get it.
Btw, that is not enough leaves in those pics to prevent two passes with a GOOD mulching deck leaving it looking good. That second pass also feels a lot easier on a ZTR than a wb.
