I dread fall we have so many leaves, I moved here from south florida and the trees are small down there. We do not have to bag them just get them to the curb. Anything easy and cheap would sound good to me.

Do you have a power mover with a catch bag on it? If so, run the mower over them and empty the bag 9n trash bags or empty it at the curb. No raking.

Use your lawn mower and either cut them up so fine they become fertilizer, or use the bag function, and empty them into garbage bags from there.
But,think about it as a chance to get out in the fresh air before winter sets in, and a fabulous chance to work on your upper arms! One, and two and swing that rake!
Be sure and use gloves -- leather ones make a world of difference if you are prone to blisters. And take drink breaks every half hour or so.

Sorry, that's what we all have to do. The only other thing is pay a teenager to do it for you. I'm thinking of doing this for myself this year.
We have an electric Sears vacuum that is great, but it is too heavy for me to lift and carry around the yard. It chops up the leaves into tiny particles which you later dump into the garbage or put onto your gardens for mulch.

Well if YOU don't want to rake or blow them, then pay a nephew or a kid on the block to do it for you for extra money they may like the responsibility!

Mow your lawn in the direction of the curb. You kill two birds with one stone this way. I do it all the time.

suck them into a vacuum shredder and recycle onto your garden
