Recommendation for someone to pick up leaves (yard work)

Man, you don't need yard guys for that....just go pick up some day laborers in front of the Home Depot....

Better yet, find a few high school kids with pickups that want to make a few dollars....

Get some neighborhood kids to do it

Do you have a riding lawnmower? You can build a pretty sturdy and cheap collector to haul behind your mower. We built a 6'x 4' x 4' out of cheap lumber and chicken wire. Get a sturdy frame and wheels, plus plastic tubing to fit your mower's deck. In total cost under $200. Holds a ridiculous amount of leaves.

How big a yard?

Not big. .3 acres maybe. But a shite ton of leaves.
