As someone who composts everything and has no lawn to rake leaves off, I have always
thought there was a better solution to people individually filling plastic bags to be
picked up. (Except of course for the great Vote Yes yellow bags.) It seems to me that
allowing people to rake leaves into the street only a day or two before the streets
are swept would be a labor saving non-polluting activity that would solve the problem.
It would be no extra work for the city and a big labor saver for the resident not to
mention the elimination of plastic (petroleum based) bags.
