Some jurisdictions require that residents bag their leaves while others allow the leaves to be raked into a pile on the side of the road (or the edge of the property) on a designated day when a vacuum truck comes along to collect them. Some communities provide separate receptacles for the collection of yard and kitchen waste, pick up the materials and take them to a facility for composting. Also included are programs that provide home compost bins which enable residents to create mulching materials for their own gardens.
