Spring is in the air, and while that means warmer weather, chirping birds, and blooming flowers, it also brings an influx of yard work. From fallen branches and leftover leaves to old planters and broken patio furniture, our outdoor spaces can quickly accumulate a surprising amount of junk. Attempting to sort out and eliminate the outdoor junk, including yard waste, can become exhausting and confusing. This article will explain the benefits of tackling outdoor junk and offer resources to simplify your project.
WHAT IS YARD WASTE?
Yard waste is comprised of organic materials such as fallen leaves, weeds, grass clippings, twigs, and old mulch. Improper disposal could pose numerous issues, including the harmful release of methane gas, decreasing the lifespan of landfills, water pollution, fire hazards, and pests. Additionally, mold can grow on unhandled yard waste, contributing to allergies. If there are large volumes of yard waste, attempting to lift it alone can become quite strenuous.
WHAT ELSE IS CONSIDERED OUTDOOR JUNK?
Outdoor junk comes in many different forms, shapes, and sizes. In addition to yard waste, your yard may have broken patio furniture, damaged planters, old garden tools, or retired outdoor decorations. Your playground may be played out, or that hot tub is creating more organisms than fun times. Construction debris outdoors can easily pile up as well.
With these various types of outdoor junk, your yard is susceptible to becoming a haven for these unwanted items. Retaining outdoor junk in your yard can become problematic, possibly creating tripping and fire hazards. Outdoor junk could also detract from your curb appeal, creating an unsightly scene. Depending on the size and amount of outdoor junk, working to clear your yard can be physically and mentally taxing.
HOW TO ELIMINATE OUTDOOR JUNK
There are several options when it comes to eliminating outdoor junk. However, these options can become puzzling with proper procedures and disposal. Yard waste usually falls in a special category, as it is typically not allowed in the landfills. Composting is one option for the compostable yard waste. With this procedure, it is imperative to layer and moisture the pile properly, while periodically turning it over. Routine monitoring is ideal to ensure proper composting.
You can also take advantage of local programs offered in your city for yard waste and outdoor junk. Some trash collection service companies will pick up specific yard waste at certain times throughout the year. It’s best to check with your local trash collection service for details.
Another option is to haul your outdoor junk to a designated place when there is a bulk trash day offered in your city, if applicable. For example, Westfield offers Bulk Trash Day to its residents on May 10th and October 11th of this year from 8 a.m. to noon. A nominal fee may apply to some of the items, but most of the items are accepted for free. You can check your city’s website to see if a bulk trash day event is offered and to obtain additional information. For this option, you may need to store your junk until the event dates. Also, you will have to do some heavy lifting and have an appropriately sized vehicle to hold the junk if you plan to haul it somewhere.
If you prefer not to wait for the event dates, you can haul your junk to a donation center, a landfill transfer station, and/or recycling center. Again, you will have to exert your physical energy and may become intimidated by the heavy equipment surrounding you at a transfer station, not to mention possibly popping a tire or two. With the exception of donation centers, fees are involved at many drop-off centers.
One stress-free and simplistic option is always available to you: a junk-removal service. When hiring a junk-removal company, you should be able to expect a seamless experience from beginning to end, without the need to do any heavy lifting. Another benefit of hiring a junk-removal company is the full-service model. In addition to lifting everything for you, a junk-removal company will haul it all away, ensuring proper disposal. This eliminates the stress of trying to discern where everything goes.
