    Leafblowers are used to collect it into a pile which is then raked/shoveled into a bin. The blower is much faster and less effort than the rake at collecting everything into the pile.

      Everyone I see using them merely uses it to blow the detritus into the street. What you’re saying makes a lot of sense, but people don’t do that

        Yeah, well, you can’t fix stupid.

        Although if there isn’t that much, I suppose letting it dry and break down in the local environment is better than putting it in a landfill. If there’s a lot of it, then at least in cities I’ve lived in, they can and do ticket for putting yard waste or shoveling snow in the street.
