How to Dispose of Leaves

It’s officially fall! The leaves have finally fallen off the trees, and now they’re scattered all over your lawn. Read on to learn how you can dispose of leaves so you can make your autumn cleanup as easy as possible.

How to Dispose of Leaves

1. Make a plan for disposal. Did you know your sanitation crew might not pick up the bags of yard waste you leave out with the rest of your trash? Ask your local municipality for special lawn waste pickups. Most municipalities pick up organic waste during the fall and spring. Just find out when it is by calling the trash service you use. There are also options to drop-off your lawn’s refuse at certain local sites where your debris is composted or chipped into mulch.
2. Find a way to repurpose your waste. Rent a wood chipper and make your own mulch by using it on fallen branches, shrubs, and other wood debris. Wood chippers can be rented by the day. Just use caution when using one!
3. Compost your lawn waste. The nutrients that occur from your organic debris breaking down help to improve your soil quality. Composting is also a green alternative to removing your lawn waste via truck. It’s great if you already have a composting area for your home, but it’s also a wonderful reason to start one. Once you have a composting site, you can throw kitchen scraps, coffee grounds, eggshells, and other organic matter on the compost pile.
4. Call a junk hauling company. You can get the help of a trash-hauling service like JDog Junk Removal & Hauling.
