Sure - make a compost pile using boards, fencing wire, or concrete blocks to form a box about 30 to 48 inches square. put the leaves in the box and add anything organic in nature like grass clippings, coffee grounds, old vegetable matter. You can also use a plastic 55 gallon drum but it must have breathing holes cut in it. Stir it once in a while with a garden fork and next season add it to the garden soil. It helps to keep it moist, preferably with rainwater. Burning is environmentally unsound and against the law in some areas.

You can make a pile, add eggs shells, coffee grounds, vegetable trimmings, left overs (non-meat) and other assorted trash to make a compost pile, then turn the pile every three to four weeks, add water or just let rain fall on the pile and in a short time you will have amazing soil for your flower beds or garden.

Start a compost pile. Just build a box or throw an old tarp over your leaves and dirt. Throw anything thats bio-degradable in there, old food, dug turds, leaves...etc. In a couple months time you'll have awesome dirt to plant anything in. Keep it warm and moist and flip the dirt over every now and again.

You can basically just mix any dried leaves you have with soil and use it for topsoil in your garden. Even if you dont have a garden, mix it in with dirt on your property. Bury it if you have to. Just dont put it in giant bags and leave it on your curbside. It is literally one of the most biodegradeable things you can think of, as long as we dont put it into bags and fill garbage trucks with it.
