You could try posting on Craigslist Free and someone might come take them. I have gotten rid of many thing using Freecycle and the free section of Craigslist. Stuff like old office furniture, an old video camera with no tapes and no guarantee it worked, a pile of old shingles, some old wood for fireplace or campfire. Craigslist is great!!

Too bad you aren't close by - I usually collect about 40 bags of leaves from our town compost site that sit over the winter. Leaf mold is one of my favorite mulch.

Wish I lived next door, I'd take all those leaves off your hands. I collect mine and three of my neighbors and I actually do have plenty.

It seems a shame you don't save them for your own garden. We keep one large wire bin staked in the ground with a removable wire home made door for easy access. We hold it together with those plastic ties that are so inexpensive, easy to cut off when we need to and add more. It is in an out of the way area, close to a short fence and my neighbor can empty his leaves almost directly into it. He loves not having to bag them up and I love having them. The neighbor doesn't garden. I don't turn the pile I just passively collect for a year, add organic grass clippings and empty it again before the leaves come down the next fall. It makes a big difference to my garden. Even if you only have shrub beds, it is a great mulch and soil conditioner.

Thanks terrene.... I may do that... I do sell stuff on craigslist and have posted on freecycle b4 but thought I'd try here for a change.

Gee, can you send them to CT? :)

If you won't be using them for yourself, I would second the craigslist or freecycle suggestion. I am always on the lookout for offers like this for my compost pile and garden. I'm sure it wouldn't be long before you got a response to your posting!

You could also post on the Soil, Compost and Mulch forum - those wackos (self-described) would love them if nearby.

Thanks everyone, :)

I think I'll try prairiemoon's advice and post on other forums too. :)

I'd be glad to take them if they were close, unfortunately I'm in SE MA, dealing with frost this AM.

Thanks anyway tomakers :) Yeah, I haven't been tuned in and was shocked when I saw the temp outside now at 32 degrees!
