With summer fast approaching you may be thinking about doing yard cleanup. You may be working from home and have gotten tired of looking at a disheveled yard. It has become a minefield of old toys, overgrown grass, and hidden broken sprinklers. Whatever your reason for your yard cleanup you will need a roll-off dumpster if you don’t want to haul your grass clippings and yard debris to the dump yourself. So, the question is what size dumpster do you need for your yard cleanup? The answer is it depends on the size of your yard. Before we get to that, let’s look at some of the yard maintenance you should do before summer.
Yard Maintenance for Summer
Your yard may have been covered with snow over the fall and winter months, and one can assume you did no maintenance in the fall because you are reading this post. Perhaps you live in a warmer climate where the grass grew slower over the winter, but never stopped growing. You think you know where your child’s tricycle is under all that grass, but you are not sure. Going out with a mower with objects that could become missiles is a bad idea. First, remove anything that your mower could hit and send flying. Use a machete to clear grass over the waist-deep. Be cautious of any holes and dangerous wildlife. After you have made sure the lawn is clear of debris you need to mow it. The freshly mowed lawn will allow you to be able to move freely in the yard without stepping on a hidden hazard such as a skateboard or a rabbit hole. Dispose of all your clippings in your rental dumpster.
Next, trim all shrubbery and smaller trees to make sure they not only look good, but their limbs won’t serve as a hazard that could trip someone or hit them in the face. All of the limbs that you have cut can be placed in your roll-off dumpster. If you have a dead tree in your yard that you are cutting down, you can dispose of it in your roll-off dumpster as long as it is cut into small manageable pieces. Be sure not to overfill the dumpster where waste is spilling over the sides.
Remove Potential Hazards
After you have mowed and trimmed your yard, it is time to remove possible hazards. Rotting or rusting lawn furniture can break and cause and injury to a family member or guest who sits on it. Old birdbaths can be breeding grounds for mosquitos that spread disease. Your backyard may have become an ad hoc junkyard with old appliances, furniture, and exercise equipment sitting around, also becoming a breeding ground for mosquitos and other pests. Anything that has the potential to cause serious injury should be removed from your backyard.
What Size Dumpster Should I Rent from Dumpstermaxx?
As previously stated, the size of your yard will dictate the size of the dumpster you will rent. If you have a small yard, then you would only require a 10 or 15-yard dumpster. Average size yards should use a 20-yard dumpster. If you have a more significant estate that sits on an acre or more, then you should use a 30 to a 40-yard dumpster.
Dumpstermaxx will deliver the dumpster directly to your driveway, and once you have filled it, we will pick it up and haul it away. Trying to haul yard waste to a landfill yourself can be a tedious and demanding task. If you don’t have all your yard clippings packaged exactly to waste management’s specifications, you will not be able to dispose of it. Why endure that kind of headache when Dunpstermaxx can do it for you?
