Yard waste removal involves more than mere grass and leaf cleanup. It includes anything on your yard that you do not want or need anymore, such as old furniture, debris, and things you have trimmed, cut, or dug out of your yard.
You can get by with a residential green waste container, but for big projects like construction or spring cleaning, you may end up producing more waste than you can manage. Hence, the need for professional yard waste removal services.
Winter weather leaves many debris sprawl on your property, including tree branches or piles of leaves. Then comes spring cleaning and the need for landscaping work. Additionally, gardening and other landscaping projects tend also to generate tons of dirt and debris.
What is Yard Waste Removal?
Yard waste removal refers to all activities you undertake to clear and clean your yard and keep it looking nice and appealing. These activities include mowing lawns, pruning trees and shrubs, trimming flowers and plants, and removing the resultant waste.
Raking up fall trees, lawn trimmings, and other debris is only half the job because if you are not recycling the waste for composting, you need to remove it from your yard and dispose of it. With most homeowners and house renters using organic waste recycling bins that municipal waste companies provide, these often offer limited yard waste removal, especially if you have a big project or own a large property.
Why You Need Yard Waste Removal Services
Yard waste removal is typically a seasonal process. For instance, winter is marked by months of yard neglect and the destruction of items left outdoors. The arrival of spring sees even the most organized households with broken or unwanted appliances, piles of damaged or outdated clothing, and lawn debris.
If you love gardening or avidly maintain your landscaping, spring finds you dealing with piles of old planters, empty bags, dug up soil, and lawn furniture. Leaves, branches, mulch, clippings, and containers pile up through spring, and dumping all that waste is often time-consuming and burdensome.
You could also have a fence that needs replacing or an old shed that you need to dismantle and dispose of safely. Such projects usually generate large amounts of waste that cannot go into your residential waste disposal bin. Demolition of a storage or garden shed produces bulky debris such as lumber, plasterboard or sheetrock, plastic, broken windows, door frames, and other discarded building materials.
For most people in the U.S., seasonal weather is the primary determining factor for yard cleanup tasks. In areas that experience freezing winters, homeowners do their yard work during autumn in preparation for the winter months or during spring after months of neglect.
Still, you cannot leave all that waste sitting around your property because it is an eyesore and can be hazardous to your family or pets. So what do you do if you generated more waste than your recycling bins or you can handle?
Well, unless you want the trash to keep piling up, hiring a competent yard waste removal is an excellent solution. Yard waste removal companies can clear different types of yard debris, including branches, clippings, stumps, sod, soil, landscaping debris, fencing, lumber, plasterboard, frames, shingles, and corrugated iron.
Hazardous Yard Waste Removal
Sometimes the items you want to dispose of from your yard are “hazardous material” due to the chemicals and substances they contain. These include batteries, cleaning products, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, electronics, and paints.
Unfortunately, you cannot dispose of these materials personally or hire a yard waste removal service. Instead, find a local disposal center within your vicinity (county or city) with the authorization to handle such material.
Is yard Waste Dumping Illegal
Local and state laws concerning yard waste removal and disposal vary from place to place. However, it’s often the case that yard waste dumping is likely illegal outside of the designated dumping areas like a local landfill.
What’ more, the federal government also has several environmental protection laws in place, for example, the Resource Conversation and Recovery Act. Such regulations may include complicated waste disposal and permitting requirements for all hazardous waste – all the more reason to hire a licensed yard waste removal company.
