re: When did this phenomenon of blowing all your yard waste into the street, start?

We have a lot of pine trees and two large live oaks along the street as well as defined flower beds with a 1'-2' dirt area between the grass and the border in the front and back yards. I have gotten in the habit of using the blower before weedeating/cutting/edging and blowing everything into the yard. Then I cut, which mulches up everything and go back at the end quickly with the blower.

Maybe I spend too much time thinking about this. The yard still ends up looking like shite from weeds.
