Mulch em a bit and leave em be, seems to be the best middle ground between “get rid of em” and “do nothing.”

Helps to start breaking them down so they degrade easier/faster while still retaining the soil benefits, and it also looks better than huge piles of leaves.

I favor just hitting them with a lawnmower for this purpose. Mulch and spread all at once. Watch out for sticks.
