Run over dry leaves that are scattered acoss your lawn with your mower. Make another pass until leaves are finely shredded, then use for mulch. If you have a large quantity, place them in paper bags for future use, or place around shrubs, over garden area, etc.
You can buy a blower at Lowe's which turns into a vac with a bag and it chops up leaves fine and then you can either use them as compost or get rid of them other ways or buy mulching blades for your lawn mower or tractor.I do both and works great.
I mow right over them to mulch them and leave them there. Or you can get a bagger attachment and empty the mulched leaves elsewhere. I've done both ways.

This is what I did with a lot of my leaves.
