It Must Be Autumn
A common sight here in autumn is bags of leaves piled up outside of homes for the city to pick up. The city collects them every second week and composts them over the winter before distributing the compost during enviro events in the spring. The more large trees near your yard, the more bags you need like this place.
...such a common sight.
ReplyDeleteI don't seem to have noticed them this year.
ReplyDeleteOur town used to require paper bags for leaf collection, but no more. They now provide wheelie bins for yard waste, and the contents are composted. The compost is free to the public.
ReplyDeleteNot a system I am familiar with.
ReplyDeleteIt's tougher in the city! Ours mostly blow away!
ReplyDeleteGood that they're being recycled!
ReplyDeleteOurs blow around constantly, living next to the forest.
ReplyDeleteTake care, have a happy weekend.
That's a good system.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a lot of bags and there are still leaves on the ground that I can see in the background.
ReplyDeleteWow. That´s a lot RedPat! Actually.... here they have those noisy blowers and I never saw what the next step is!
ReplyDeleteOur town picks up 2 weeks in both spring and fall, but we have access to the waste yard spring though fall. Our 2 weeks are well over.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen leaves picked up and bagged like that. It's a good system if people embrace it and they obviously do.
ReplyDeleteExcellent idea. Most of ours get sucked up into street sweepers. Although it caused terrible air pollution, I miss the days of burning leaves in gutters, often sitting there smouldering away for an eternity.
ReplyDeleteGran idea. Aquí no se recogen. Las barren los empleados municipales..
ReplyDeleteBuen noviembre Pat.
Un abrazo.
Those piled bags become a small seasonal ritual, a reminder that even autumn’s castoffs return as nourishment when the cycle turns to spring.
ReplyDeleteIt sure is!
