returning these leaves to the land is a good idea....
depending on the size of the mulched cut, the leaves will settle and mulch quickly....another benefit is that they won't blow as easily when mulched.
i used to cart away about 7-10 bags each from my 2 burr oak trees. now i simply mow the leaves, and layer them into my landscape beds, and into my raised garden beds to over winter.(i turn them into the soil as i plant seeds, and remulch before summer).
you may find that placing 6" of leaves today will give you 3" of leaves in March...
