The city collects leaves for composting in a big field with sewage-plant sludge*, then sells the resulting product for landscaping. They specifically ask you not to bag leaves.

I compost leaves in the back yard, but we live in a neighborhood of small lots. We're 60'x122', nearly half of that covered by house. Lot next door got divided in two many long years ago, same total size but with two houses on it.

Not much gardening or composting here.

*Because of toxics, you're not supposed to use the compost on food crops or where small children may get into the mess.
