Yard and Lawn Waste Removal

Maybe you just purchased a new home and found the backyard full of strewn plant bits. Perhaps last night’s storm left a wet tree flattened across your lawn. Or maybe you just haven’t been the best landscaper these past few years (it’s okay, we won’t judge). Whatever the reason, you need some yard debris removal. Don’t know how to get rid of grass clippings or where to dispose of tree limbs? Here are a few pointers to put you on the right track.

First, if you want to prevent yard waste from accumulating in the first place, set down a tarp while working in your garden where you can place any lightweight debris to be carried off later. This makes the landscaping process neater and safer, and ensures cleanup will be a breeze.

Nevertheless, if it’s too late for precautions, you should start by collecting all the waste from your yard and accumulating it into one area. Use a leaf blower or rake for smaller waste products such as grass clippings and leaves and a wheelbarrow for larger pieces such as tree branches and rocks. It’s easiest to place this all onto a large tarp for an easy haul. Do this step sooner rather than later as loose yard debris such as silt and grass clippings can be harmful to your healthy garden, not to mention it becomes a complete eyesore.

If you want to haul away all that yard waste on your own, you’ll need a vehicle big enough to do so. Find a friend with a pickup truck or rent one from a trailer company. You can also call up any junk removal companies nearby to do the debris hauling for you. It’s unlikely all that debris will fit in your city-issued compost bin, so you’ll have to find a place to legally and safely dump it. Don’t put green waste in landfill, however. It will serve a greater purpose as compostable material. You can even grind some of the organic matter up to use as mulch in next year’s garden.

Keep in mind that your chosen method of disposal can make a huge difference. If you have to make multiple trips to a dumping site, the extra time, effort, and cost of fuel won’t be worth it. It’s better here to seek out a dumpster rental or junk hauling company. Dumpsters can usually be rented by the week and are therefore better for long-term projects. With a dumpster, though, you will still be carrying items on your own. Hiring junk removal services ensures you won’t injure yourself while hauling large items.

Fallen tree removal is always better left to professionals. Trees must be sawed up before being hauled away; using unfamiliar tools and lifting heavy tree limbs can be dangerous to attempt on your own. Hire a local tree removal company or junk hauling services to take care of this for you. If the fallen tree is the result of storm damage, check with your insurance agency to see if they cover the cost of clean-up.

Still worried about tidying up your yard? Head up to your search bar and type in “yard debris removal services near me.” Chances are, you’ll find a few local junk hauling companies willing to help out. They’ll do all the work for you: raking grass clippings, sawing up tree branches, and dumping the waste. Especially if the damage is heavy, such as after a storm, it’s highly recommended that you seek out professional help to restore your yard. With the aid of your friendly neighborhood junk removal team, you’ll find yourself enjoying your lush landscape again in no time.
