With the arrival of spring, it’s time to give your home and yard a makeover to help it look fresh and clean. If your yard is overgrown with vegetation, what can you do with all of it once you clean it up? Here are tips for handling your organic yard waste this spring.
Buy Biodegradable Bags
In a person’s lifetime, they will throw away about 600 times their adult weight in garbage. Landfills are overflowing with trash that can take a long time to break down. You can help the environment by buying biodegradable bags for yard waste removal. Leave the bags on your curb for pickup from your local garbage service.
Check Local Residential Waste Pickup Schedule
Most garbage pickup services have a regular schedule for yard waste management. Check for specific days for removal and specific instructions they may have. These trash removal services may only pick up certain types of yard waste or have restrictions on bag weights.
Rent a Dumpster
Renting a dumpster can be worth the expense if you have a large yard or physical issues with moving yard waste. You can prevent multiple trips to the landfill and clean up on your own schedule. Before you spend money on a dumpster rental, be sure to research local environmental laws. There may be regulations regarding what can be thrown into a dumpster and how much you are allowed to throw away.
Burn Your Yard Waste
You can dispose of your organic yard waste by burning it if it’s safe and legal to do so where you live. Make sure you burn debris in a fire pit that is located at least 50 feet from your home and 150 feet from your neighbors. Check with your local city government regarding any necessary permits and regulations. Be sure to burn on a windless day and keep water hoses or fire extinguishers nearby.
Hire a Professional
If you have a large amount of organic yard waste, you can hire a professional to remove it for you. Commercial trash services can pick up yard debris and other junk such as rotted fencing or old roof shingles. These items can be taken away for recycling and save you time on your spring cleanup efforts.
Sprucing up your property can help boost your property value and increase the enjoyment of your home. Use these tips to help beautify your yard this spring. Contact Arrowaste for your organic yard waste removal needs today.
