More and more garbage is mostly picked up with the automated systems, especially in cities. So less leaves in bags out by the curb. It's a shame. Even out here in the countryside they give us one very large can for automated pickup. If we have more trash, it goes in regular trash cans that still have to be picked up manually. No organized recycling out here, either. Wish I had more leaves to put in my compost and use as mulch. But I can gather up the leaves on my own place, at least.
