No matter which method you use to gather your unwanted fallen leaves, the most time efficient way of collecting them for disposal is to use a tarp. You can get tarps in various sizes, and most will have eyelets on their corners, so you can tie them up, meaning leaf transportation is easier and less messy.

To use a tarp, you can lay it out on the ground. Pin it to the ground through the corner eyelets if it is windy, although a windy day isn’t the best choice when getting rid of leaves – you’ll be fighting a losing battle! You can direct your leaves so that the piles form on the tarp, and once there you can shake them into the middle so that they are more secure. If you have a large law to clear, then as you progress you can drag the tarp along with you.

Once you are done collecting the leaves on your tarpaulin, you can gather it up and tie it using the eyelets through the corner and then throw it in your trunk to take it to a waste facility or take it over to a compost heap to empty the leaves. The wildlife in your garden and the nearby area will thank you for saving the unwanted leaves in a composter rather than removing them, as a compost heap provides an entire ecosystem with habitat and plenty of nutrients.
