Must these be picked up or do they get mulched into the lawn, when my mowing service comes through?

I'm used to being able to mulch birch and maple leaves, but perceive that this might be a totally different beast.

Again, thank you for reading.
Those leaves are as thick as leather. I don’t think they mulch all the way in.
