Thanks for the tip. I'll get some green spray paint from H.D., spray the roots and stems...
Dude they just scoop up everything. They don't even get out of their trucks. Your "leaves" could be full of sandals and Reeses pieces they don't give a flyingfuck.
Week 1 is almost over. Not one leaf has been collected in my neighborhood.
My first pile was collected on Tuesday. Then many more leaves fell and you would never know there had been a collection. Some people just wait and do the job once after more leaves are on the ground.

That's a different problem. Different subspecies of Oak drop their leaves at different times in fall. On the trails, many Oak trees are already bare or with just a few remaining leaves. The Oak in our yard has about 15% of its leaves. just turning red. Based on prior years, It will not drop it's leave until mid - late December.
We usually do it twice - once about halfway through the season and once at the end.
We (meaning me) don't rake or do anything with the leaves 'kept let 'em rot on the ground.
We definitely leave some, but too many make a slimy mess and kill some of the garden plants. It's a balance for us. (I'm definitely not into eliminating every single leaf from my yard.)
Not sure if global warming or types of trees around my house but leaf pick up ends too early it should go into April.
It was a problem for those of us in zones 1, 2, and 3. Those whose last pick-up came early in the pick-up week had their final pick-up nearly two weeks sooner than those in zones 4,5, and 6 who got their leaves picked up at the end of the final pick-up week.

I have a tree in my yard that seems to grow dead leaves all winter. It’s still full of dead leaves as I type this.

The town is not picking up any more leaves until next fall. If the tree has not dropped any leaves this season, I would suggest checking to make sure the tree is not dead.

Has the schedule been announced?
