According to the Telegraph, autumn leaves are currently classed as litter, and removed from our streets at great expense to the taxpayer – councils in England and Wales are said to be paying up to £1.5m collectively in landfill tax every year just to dispose of autumn leaves. Leaves cannot be composted, as cigarette butts and other rubbish could contaminate the end result.
Do you get rid of leaves on your property, or do you like to see your garden littered with autumnal colours? Do you compost your own, make a bonfire out of them, or shove them in the garden waste bin?
