Inspired by the extreme composters on gardenweb, I put a "leaves wanted" ad on freecycle one year, asking for bags or offering to rake. I actually raked someone's front and back yard and filled the car with bags of leaves! But I got an extra bonus that "cured" me: kitty poop. Of course I stepped in it while I was collecting leaves. I didn't see it, but I smelled it right away. The people didn't even own a cat! It was from a neighborhood cat. I'm always astounded that so many people let their cats roam the streets.
