Almost every car, no matter how small is capable to have a trailer hitch, and tow a small, el cheapo, used utility trailer to haul all the yard leaves, pine needles, pine cones, and wind blown branches to the town transfer station. At the transfer station it gets ground up in a gigantic wood chipper and goes somewhere.

Even a small car like a Ford Fiesta, Scion xD or a VW Rabbit can tow a trailer that weighs a total of 800-1000-lbs for the short run to the local town dump.

A small utility trailer is the way to go. It sits off to the side somewhere in the yard until it gets totally loaded and ready for the trip to the dump. It's always there, forever, ready to get some more yard debris crammed in.

Even the most tired, worn out, olde moldy rusty wreck of a trailer can get revived with new pt wood, new paint, new tires & wheels, new bearings, new hitch, new lights, new this, new that ...... and make it a usable, legal trailer. Price to buy it - $150, as is. Cost to fix it - $200+.
