Raking leaves!
Today, I spent my lunch break outside enjoying the sunshine, doing a bit of manual work — raking leaves beneath the largest trees in the garden.
Last weekend, my brother and I were strolling through the garden when we noticed that parts of the lawn were starting to yellow under a thick carpet of fallen leaves.
My brother advised me to rake them quickly, as the final green-waste collection was scheduled the following Monday.
So I filled an entire green bin last Sunday, but there was still much more to do!
The bin was emptied on Monday, so I was able to fill it again this afternoon.

Thanks!
I've checked it, and I now understand the subtle difference between "to yellow" and "to turn yellow".
My brother advised me to rake them quickly, as the final green-waste collection was scheduled the following Monday.
After reading the final sentence of your post, I'm wondering what you mean by "final" here. Do you mean the final collection of the season? If you mean something else, the meaning is not coming through.
The last sentence of your post reads as if there is another opportunity for trash collection next Monday (since you are filling the specific trash bin again).
So I filled an entire green bin laston Sunday, but there was still much more to do!
You already said "last" when you mentioned "Last weekend, my brother and I...", so no need to repeat.

Great writing! You need to update your English Proficiency level in your settings; you're definitely C1 or C2.

Hello, thanks for your comments!
You guessed right. I mean the final collection of the season. I should have been more obvious for the reader.
I note that avoiding repetition is not just about words, but also about information.

Well done!
The only improvement I can suggest is replacing the word "so" in one of the last two sentences. Because they are the final sentences, the repetition is noticeable. You achieved this kind of variation earlier with "beneath" and "under."

Hello, thanks!
Oh yes, you're right!
I try to avoid repetition, but there's always one that I can't see!

I'm not sure why exactly... but 'beneath' sounds more natural to me in this sentence.

Overall this seems good to me. :)

Hello, Thanks for these corrections!
I should have checked the preposition after "Schedule".
I'm struggling to grasp the difference between "under" and "beneath".
I'll look into that!

"under" sounds more natural to me here, it's probably just a person-by-person or regional preference so I wouldn't worry too much about it
