I am interested as I have just taken 8 bags of leaves to the tip and
feel its such a waste as we usually compost our garden waste but this

Perhaps you don't realise just how much leaves reduce in volume when
left in bags to rot down. A full bin-bag of leaves collapses to a
wodge a few inches thick inside a year or so - it surprises me every
year how little space they take up, within a remarkably short time.
