I have 3 sycamore trees to the north of me across the street. In the fall the wind is out of the north so I get a good share of these dinner plate size leaves. Some of my neighbors rake them and load them into their pickup and haul them off to the land fill. I just mulch them into the yard. By the end of the season, the chopped up leaves may be like an inch and a half to two inches deep, but come spring they are all gone. It works for me.
