Imagine instead of putting leaves into plastic bags to get shipped to a landfill, or burning, houses normalized having compost piles.

I appreciate your argument but there's no need to throw in a strawman. Leaves in plastic bags have been illegal in most US states for decades. Yard waste must be in paper bags.

Ive never seen yard waste in a paper bag, I have seen loads of plastic bags. pumpkin faces for autumn are extremely popular here.

These states and cities have yard debris bans:

maybe its an enforcement issue but from what I've seen in Arkansas its all plastic bags. Video with examples https://www.thv11.com/article/news/local/little-rock-stop-yard-waste-pick-up/91-4745aa35-0cd5-4261-b87a-8ac44a2cfc3a
