Now that fall time has rolled around, most homeowners and residents in Allen, TX are probably thinking about spending a weekend or two tidying up their yard. With the colder weather coming, you might be closing up your pool for the year, preparing your garden for the overwintering period, pruning some shrubs, or giving your yard one last mowing for the year. And of course, you have to do something about all those leaves falling on your yard. 

Though some people may look forward to the annual fall tradition of raking leaves and cleaning up the yard, others rightfully despise it. If you would prefer to not waste a weekend cleaning up massive amounts of yard waste that is piling up around your property, hiring Junk King of Plano is most likely your best option for a fast, effective, affordable, and environmentally friendly yard waste removal. 

A Few Statistics on Yard Waste That You should Know

After a couple days of cleaning up your yard, it can be astonishing to see just how much yard waste can be collected throughout the year. Have you ever wondered how much yard waste is accumulated every year and where it eventually ends up? According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) your grass clippings, twigs and limbs, and the shrubs you pruned throughout the year adds up to around 216 pounds of yard waste generated per person, per year. Across the country, that amounts to more than 35 million tons of yard waste per year, or about 12 percent of the total amount of municipal solid waste (MSW).

Fortunately, yard waste can be composted or turned into mulch, instead of simply being sent to the local landfill. Again, the EPA estimates that around 22.3 million tons of yard trimmings are either composted or turned into mulch each year. This means that yard waste has a 63 percent composting rate, which is significantly higher than the recycling rate for other types of waste streams. 

Unfortunately, much of our yard waste continues to be either burned or sent to the landfill. The total amount of yard waste that was burnt or combusted in 2018 was 2.6 million tons. Furthermore, in 2018, landfills received about 10.5 million tons of yard waste, which comprised 7.2 percent of all MSW landfilled. Grass clippings, fallen leaves, branches, and other types of yard waste contribute to enormous amounts of methane gas emissions when sent to the landfill. Methane gas is one of the most potent greenhouse gasses.
