They break up a lot quicker if you run over them with a mower, which can also spread out the bits leaving a tidier looking lawn, thus keeping the HOA happy (maybe)

HOAs get a lot of hate, but the last one I lived in actually recommended mowing the leaves instead of bagging them.

By far the best option. Putting them in bags takes forever, though they can then be reused for compost and the likes.

Not sure what the other commenter is talking about though. Unless they have like a single tree or something, I fail to see how the grass wouldn’t rot. There’s always this one guy in town who doesn’t clean it up and it smells awful down the street.
