Mine is a mulcher so I just suck up the leaves too!

I bag ours. It will pick up leaves to a certain point, but they just get too deep, then it's time to get out the blower/vac, and get them up that way.

I don't have any big trees so my leaf problem blew away with all the wind the last couple days. When I lived in Omaha, I got tired of bagging them one year, backed the truck up against the retaining wall, and just raked as many leaves as I could into the bed. Then I took a little ride out in the country, and what didn't blow away, I pushed out. I'm sure I probably violated some city code about transporting leaves without a permit or something!

I used to drop a tarp in the back of the truck, put all of the leaves in there, then take them to the inlaws farm, and spread them in the fields. But, it's just as easy to bag them up with the blower/vac. Every once in a while, I get lucky with the front yard, and the wind carries them off. Back yard is fenced in, so no luck there!

My mulcher has a bag on it, and my back yard has a fence too, so the patio can get a foot deep with leaves so I use the vacuum too!

and I have no trees on my property, they are from the neighbors and the town.

It'll be nice having more help this year. I can usually tell the boys that it needs to get done, and they will start right after school!
