If you compost, you have your carbon for the bin. Mulch garden beds and walkways. Rake into a pile around trees (but not touching the trunk - leave the collar exposed). If you have a chipper, you could run them through and use for finer mulch or soil amendment. Maybe next year she can leave them on the ground for insect habitat - feed the birds in the spring. Use mulching mower in the spring after the hatch. linkfedilink
