The Best Yard Waste Removal Services in Town! – Junk King Contra Costa

Yard Waste Disposal

What You Get with Our Yard Waste Removal Services in Contra Costa County

 

After a thorough spring cleaning, removing yard and garden waste can be an enormous hassle. It can take days or even weeks to clear away all the excess growth and clean up your yard after the winter, which means it can be tough to find the time and energy to get rid of the extra trimmings and waste left behind after the job is done. That’s where a waste removal company can come in handy.

 

With Junk King, you have a couple of options. If you’re the kind of homeowner who prefers to do as much as possible by yourself, you can always rent a dumpster and fill it with wood, dirt, lawn trimmings, sticks, twigs, and everything else left over when you’re done working on your yard. After a set period of time, we’ll come back with a truck and pick up the dumpster for you. This is also an excellent option if you’re worried about the pricing for yard and garden cleanups the traditional way.

 

Alternatively, you could skip the dumpster and opt for full-service yard waste removal. With this option, all you have to do is bag up the trimmings and other waste and we’ll come to pick it up and load it into the truck. This is the simpler and easier service, which can be nice if you don’t feel like filling a dumpster after spending the whole day outside in your yard.

 

With either service, we can take pretty much any kind of yard waste you might have, including branches, stumps, soil, grass trimmings, fencing, and even old shingles or windows from outdoor structures. We can also mix yard waste with other trash or debris from different household projects.

How to Prepare Your Yard

 

 

The yard cleanup process can be significantly easier if you do a good job of maintaining your lawn throughout the year. Here are a few lawn care tips that can keep your yard healthy year-round:

  • Pruning – It’s usually best to prune your shrubs and trees in late winter or early spring, although each kind of flowering shrub has its own pruning timeline. Some shrubs actually bloom on old wood, so do some research to make sure you’re not trimming too early in the year.
  • Raking – Regular raking during autumn is important, but some trees continue to drop leaves through the winter into early spring. It’s not uncommon to have leaf litter all over your lawn once spring rolls around. However, you shouldn’t be too obsessive about raking. Many beneficial insects like bees hibernate in fallen leaves over the winter, so wait for the weather to warm up so they have a chance to wake up before you rake up their beds.
  • Grass – There are a million different lawn maintenance tips out there to keep your grass healthy, but here are a few of the most important. One common mistake is trying to clean up your lawn too early in the spring. Grass needs some time to recover from the winter, so wait until it’s about three inches tall before you start mowing it. The same goes for fertilizer – if you don’t wait until late spring, fertilizing your lawn can cause the grass to focus on leaf development before the roots are fully grown, weakening it.

How to Recycle Your Yard Waste in Contra Costa County

 

Like the rest of the Bay Area, Contra Costa is a great place to live if you’re enthusiastic about the environment. Recycling yard waste is encouraged here, and many municipalities in the county will take yard waste as part of the regular recycling pickups every week. You can also try composting as an alternative form of yard waste removal. The county offers plenty of workshops to get you started if you’ve never composted before.

 

However, if you’re doing a full spring cleanup of your yard, you might end up with too much waste to fit in the recycling bin or a compost heap. In that scenario, your best bet is probably to bring in a junk removal company. Junk King Contra Costa will recycle any organic waste that we bring in, so you don’t have to worry about your trimmings ending up in the dump.

 

Can I Deal with My Own Yard Waste Removal?

 

If you’d prefer to dispose of your own yard waste, you have a few different options. If you have a big lawn and expect to end up with a ton of waste, renting a dumpster from Junk King or elsewhere can be a good way to take care of the trimmings without having to exert too much effort. You can load up the dumpster with any yard waste you have before sending it back to be recycled.

 

However, if you want to take care of it without having to rent anything, the best way of dealing with yard waste is to load it up into containers and take it down to a recycling drop-off site. This could take a little while if you don’t have a truck, but you won’t have to rent anything or hire anybody and the fees at drop-off sites are generally pretty low.

Contra Costa Yard Waste Removal

There are some big cleanup efforts underway in Hayward and San Leandro. A “citywide cleanup blitz” in Hayward will have 300 volunteers picking up trash around the city. Last year, this effort managed to remove 86 cubic yards of trash. That’s around 43 pickup trucks worth of garbage. Over in San Leandro, they’re holding a massive garage sale involving hundreds of homes. Of course, that could mean that the unwanted items are just being transferred to another property. Is that really getting rid of junk? There are many residents who are getting ready for summer by giving their front and back yards a landscaping makeover. Nothing beats spending the day in your yard getting the gardens dug and the grass mowed. There are some yards they might require a little extra TLC. For those jobs, it might be time to bring in the Junk King crews.
