You don’t want to be messing around with wrestling piles of leaves into bags! A tarp is the easiest, most efficient way to remove the leaves you have collected. Just lay it out on your lawn and then as you build up your piles of leaves, direct them onto the tarp. It means that once you are done, you can simply gather up the tarp and easily transfer the leaves to a compost area or waste facility.

Using a tarp is a time and cost-efficient, eco-friendly way of collecting your leaves which doesn’t create an extra mess in your vehicle either. They are cheap to buy at around $20 to $100, depending on the size you want, and you can get years of use out of them for many different jobs in your garden, not just removing leaves. Plus, if you are transporting the collected leaves in your car, they won’t leak as plastic bags will.
