As long as the hosta leaves were not diseased, you can compost them.

It shreds or chips vegetable or garden waste - mainly green or dry leaves and small branches. This is then used as mulch, compost or disposed of. Basically a shredder reduces the bulkiness of garden waste by chopping it up into small pieces
Leaves for Burning was created in 1952.
Composting has been happening naturally in the wild nearly since the world began. When leaves fall off trees, they compost on the ground.
Dispose of them.
Any leaves left on the lawn are not good for it. All leaves should be removed as soon as possible. Oak leaves are particularly good for composting.
Burning of leaves can lead to inhalation of smoke (particularly if those leaves are tobacco).
No. Burning Bush leaves are simple! -Anonymous Smiley :)
Instead of bagging up leaves and putting them in the trash, there are a variety of uses for them. You can use them for mulching, composting, or soil improvement.

I can say with certainty, that once in my city burning "Fall " leaves was a regular practice in order to "get rid of them". The city I live in now forbids the burning of leaves anywhere in that they pollute the air. They also are fire hazards, and also can injure both adults and children. The city makes arrangements to dispose of leaves by the Dept. of Sanitation. This issue would be governed by local city ordinances and state law. Most jurisdictions do not allow open burning pursuant to air pollution concerns and risk of fire. Others allow burning by permit. Still others do not allow burning of refuse at all. You need to check the law in your particular jurisdiction.
