It is a tradition here that after Thanksgiving all the trees that lose their leaves are about done with it.
That means plenty of browns available for the compost piles and for the worms.
Before to collect them it is best to check if the leaves are not diseased.
If they are diseased you want to take them and send them to a composting facility where they will kill it.
If the leaves are healthy then you want to collect those in a separate pile of browns. The goal of doing this is when you will gather enough green material you will already have your browns.
Doing this also makes us not be greedy about this material, let this for mother nature is ure who needs it.
In our house fall allergies are a thing so we take and remove those leaves. The biodiversity has many beds full of homemade compost to thrive.
