As autumn comes into full swing, tidying up your backyard for the long winter is an ideal way to keep things clean. One way to expedite the cleanup process is with a dumpster rental.

A dumpster rental for your home will ensure items get disposed of easily. You will not have to take multiple trips to the junkyard, and bulky items will be gone from your backyard for good. Learn the various ways a dumpster rental will help with all the extra debris during an autumn cleanup.

1. Leaf and Brush Piles

A big part of any autumn backyard cleanup involves the leaves, sticks, and debris that naturally comes with autumn weather. Everyone has a specific area where they like to dump brush and leaves in their yard, but with a dumpster rental, you have the opportunity to clear out a lot of the debris. You can completely fill leaf and lawn bags that you drop inside of the dumpster.

Place large branches and sticks right into the dumpster as well. If you have any type of wood pile, toss rotted or unusable wood into a dumpster. If you leave the large piles of debris in your yard, the dark and moist areas could attract all types of animals including snakes, spiders, or mice.

Eliminate as much debris as possible so, when winter comes around, the yard will be open and clear.

2. Bulky Items

An autumn backyard cleanup is an ideal time to get rid of bulky items you no longer need in a yard. A dumpster is an ideal way to toss out the items without worries of breaking them down into small pieces or transporting them yourself to a landfill. With a dumpster rental, the dumpster is dropped off and picked up directly at your residence.

Do a deep analysis of the backyard to determine what items should go to the trash. Recreational items like swing sets or trampolines may have a lot of rust and wear or not operate like they used to. Not only could the old equipment create an eyesore, but it could pose safety hazards for any children who try to play on it.

Sheds or small storage areas may have rotted or seen better days. Even if you do not have a replacement right away, the bulky item could go right in a dumpster so you do not have to worry about the removal process in the future.

Any type of painted wood you no longer need should go right in the dumpster as well. The treated and painted wood is not safe for backyard or indoor fires.

3. Patio Clearing

Once a dumpster rental has arrived, another area to consider a deep clean of is any type of patio or deck. Outdoor furniture, old grills, and decorative items like patio rugs may have had their proper run and are ready to toss out.

Patio umbrellas may have hole or tears or not operate properly. Toss out the items to provide your patio with a fresh look and multiple decoration options when the spring rolls around.

4. Garden Cleanup

Another area in your yard to focus on is the garden. Cracked and broken potters may go directly into the dumpster. You could dig up weeds and old plants to toss in as well. You may have leftover bags of mulch or soil you no longer need.

Instead of letting the items pile up, toss out everything and start fresh in the new year. Also consider tossing out any extra garden statues or decorative items which have broke or you no longer have use for.

A dumpster rental could become an annual thing as you really clear out your backyard. By the time winter ends, the preparation for spring will be a lot easier to manage.
