I am a leaf nut, too!
I cannot bear to see those bags sitting beside the curb, doomed to be wasted at the landfill.
so I pick them up!
I'm also fortunate to have a couple of yard maintenance guys who drop off leaves for me.
Our Starbucks claims that the health department won't let them distribute coffee grounds, since coffee grounds draw fruit flies.
Since they have to discard coffee grounds every day in one way or another, I wonder why the health department lets them serve coffee at all...
I do stop at every Starbucks I pass when I'm in other areas, & sometimes I get big bags of those wonderful grounds.
When I go to plant swaps, I tell people I'll trade plants for coffee grounds.
