Burning leaves releases PM2.5 particulates (same as wildfire smoke), carbon monoxide, and destroys 100% of nutrients trees spent all year creating. One leaf pile burned = loss of 50 pounds of organic matter + neighborhood air pollution. Composted leaves = $200+ worth of soil amendment free.
Compost them. Mulch them. Let soil biology thrive, not choke.
