A yard clogged with leaves and wayward branches? A garage you have been meaning to put in order since the height of summer but is now full of clutter? And how are you going to see all that debris gone once the rains come?
There is no need to wonder. The Sacramento area sees its fair share of home cleanups in the fall, making it one of our busy seasons at Waste Away. We are here to assist homeowners with such projects on a daily basis. For an easier time of it, call us at (916)-295-6548 and we will do the heavy lifting.
The cooler weather of a Sacramento fall does not leave much of an opening to finish your outdoor chores before winter storms make their appearance. But with some forethought as to what lies ahead, a good plan can be made. We have put together a few tips to ensure your cleanup is without a hitch.
Make a Plan
Do not put a rake to the ground until you have strolled the property and made note of what has to be removed. It is a way to prevent any later surprises and to have an accurate sense of the volume of debris. Most in the area will be concentrating on the following this time of year:
- Leaves and trimmings from the yard
- Shrubs and branches that are dead or overgrown
- Worn out patio furniture and the like
- The detritus of the year in the shed or garage
- Fencing in disrepair or other storm damage
- Seasonal decor past its prime
With an idea of what the job entails you can size up the container you require, which is good for your time and your wallet.
Get the Right Size Dumpster
We see it often, a dumpster rental that is ill suited to the task, be it too large or too small. One that is undersized and you will be short of room in no time; oversize and you are putting money down for space you will not use.
Not sure what will work for your project? Put in a call to Waste Away and we will go over your options in light of what you intend to put in it. Our estimates are free so there is no commitment needed to see where you stand cost-wise.
The Yard is Where You Should Start
For the most part, yard waste is what a fall cleanup is about. Branches in particular have a way of taking up more room than anticipated. There are ways to be more efficient with it.
Keep things in order by raking leaves into bags or loading them as you go, and sawing branches to a manageable length for tight stacking. Hedges and shrubs should be trimmed prior to the frost. Make sure the gutters are clear of leaves to spare you water damage when the winter rain comes. Any salvageable items can be put aside for reuse or donation.
You will find that breaking down materials allows you to put more in a load of the dumpster, cutting down on the number of trips and expense.
Garage and Shed
Before the holidays you may want to take back your storage areas. Garages and sheds are where clutter has a habit of lingering. Between old paint and broken tools and boxes of who knows what, it adds up.
Divide what you find into keepers, donations and those to be tossed. If it is of no use or cannot be fixed, let it go into the rental. With a dumpster there to put it in you will not be left with a pile of junk in the driveway for a trip to the dump.
Put the Rainy Season Behind You
Wet debris is a pain to deal with. The rain in a Sacramento winter makes for heavy leaves and cardboard that is all but destroyed. Better to get it done early.
An early booking affords you the leeway to proceed as you like. Our hours are 6 to 6 Monday to Saturday so fitting in a project is no problem.
