낙엽 means fallen leaves or dead leaves, especially leaves that have dropped from trees. It is a common word in signs about trash sorting, street cleaning, or gardening.

• 낙 relates to falling
• 엽 means leaf

So 낙엽 is not just any leaf on a tree; it specifically refers to leaves that have already fallen.

The particle 은 marks 낙엽 as the topic: as for fallen leaves...

In a sign like this, 은/는 often sets up the item being discussed and then gives instructions about it. So the sentence has the feeling of:

• As for fallen leaves, please collect them separately from regular trash.

Using 이/가 instead would sound more like identifying the subject in a neutral statement, while 은/는 is very natural for instructions, comparisons, or category-based rules.

일반 쓰레기 means general trash or regular garbage.

The particle 와 means with or and, attached to a noun. Here it means with/from in the sense of comparison or separation:

• 일반 쓰레기와 따로 = separately from regular trash

A very similar form is 과.

• 와 is used after nouns that end in a vowel
• 과 is used after nouns that end in a consonant

Since 쓰레기 ends in a vowel sound, 와 is used.

따로 means separately, apart, or in a separate way.

In this sentence, it tells you how to collect the fallen leaves:

• 따로 모으십시오 = please collect them separately

Combined with 일반 쓰레기와, it gives the full idea:

• 일반 쓰레기와 따로 = separately from regular trash

So 따로 is the key word expressing separation.

모으십시오 comes from the verb 모으다, which means to gather, to collect, or to put together.

The ending -십시오 is a formal polite imperative, often seen in:

• public signs
• announcements
• official instructions
• manuals

So 모으십시오 means:

• please collect
• collect, please

It is polite but firm, which makes it appropriate for official notices.

모으다 means to collect/gather, while 버리다 means to throw away/dispose of.

A sign might use 모으십시오 if the focus is on sorting and gathering leaves into a separate pile, bag, or collection area rather than simply throwing them out.

So the nuance is not just disposal, but keeping them collected separately for proper handling.

Korean word order is flexible, but adverbs like 따로 usually come before the verb they modify.

So:

• 일반 쓰레기와 따로 모으십시오

is a natural way to say:

• collect [them] separately from regular trash

You may also see similar patterns like:

• 일반 쓰레기와 분리하여 모으십시오
• 일반 쓰레기와 따로 분리해 주십시오

The placement of 따로 before 모으십시오 is normal and clear.

Yes. Korean often omits words that are understood from context.

Here, the object particle 를/을 is omitted. A fuller version could be:

• 낙엽은 일반 쓰레기와 따로 모으십시오.

Even though there is no explicit 낙엽을, the meaning is clear: the thing being collected is fallen leaves.

You can think of it as:

• As for fallen leaves, please collect [them] separately from regular trash.

This kind of omission is very common, especially in signs and instructions.

It is formal and polite, the kind of Korean often used in public notices.

The ending -십시오 is respectful and authoritative without being rude. It is stronger and more official than casual spoken forms like:

• 모아요
• 모아 주세요

So this sentence sounds like something from:

• a posted sign
• apartment recycling rules
• city sanitation instructions
• workplace notices

Yes. A more literal breakdown would be:

• 낙엽은 = as for fallen leaves
• 일반 쓰레기와 = with/from regular trash
• 따로 = separately
• 모으십시오 = please collect

So a close literal rendering is:

• As for fallen leaves, please collect them separately from regular trash.

This is a good example of how Korean often builds meaning through particles and context rather than needing every word that English would require.

Yes, it is a very common expression in waste-sorting contexts. 일반 쓰레기 means general waste, meaning trash that does not go into recycling, food waste, or other special categories.

In Korea, trash sorting is often very specific, so learners will frequently see terms like:

• 일반 쓰레기 = general trash
• 음식물 쓰레기 = food waste
• 재활용 = recyclables

So this sentence reflects a real-world sorting rule: fallen leaves should not be mixed into the general trash category.

Yes, depending on tone and style.

A common alternative is 분리해서 or 분리하여, meaning separating or after separating:

• 낙엽은 일반 쓰레기와 분리하여 모으십시오.

This sounds a bit more explicit and official.
But 따로 is simpler and very natural on signs. It directly conveys separately/apart.

So:

• 따로 = separately, apart
• 분리하여 = by separating, separated from

Both work, but 따로 is shorter and easier.
