Oldsmar Yard Waste DisposalYard waste disposal. Ugh. Talk about a dirty, cumbersome job. It’s a huge task because there’s so much to deal with. But, you’ve got to get rid of it. Unfortunately, when it involves large amounts of debris, you’ll need another plan other than putting it on the curb. (That’s where a local junk removal company comes in handy.) So, read on to learn more about yard waste disposal and what you need to know.

Shocking Safety Stats

If you think yard work and landscaping isn’t very dangerous, you might be surprised to learn that an average of 13.3 per 100,000 groundskeeping crew members die each year as a result from injuries doing their work, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And, it’s not just the commercial realm these tragedies are limited to. About 17,000 children are injured in lawn mower incidents every year, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics.

People have different strategies for dealing with leaves and trimmings. Some choose simply to pay the expenses by using large bagging mowers and power chippers or hauling clippings away. Others choose to spend more effort than money, by mowing frequently in fall to shred leaves, or managing compost bins. Still others choose to avoid practices known to create yard waste – excess fertilizing that produces excess lawn growth, for example, or landscaping with large or disease-prone trees and shrubs. --U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

Yard work often results in small bruises and cuts but also causes severe lacerations, broken bones, and even death. Because many of the tools we use are so common, we don’t really think about how many dangers these things actually pose. But, these can easily cause bodily injury and property damage. So, this is why it is so important to know how to properly handle tools.

Oldsmar Yard Waste Disposal

Basically, you’ve got to do it right or you’ll only create additional work. Here are some helpful yard waste disposal tips you can use:

  • Separate the waste. Yard waste disposal starts with placing grass clippings and leaves together but keeps tree branches separate. This limits the wait and makes moving it easier. Not to mention the fact that if you stuff hardscaping materials inside, it's going to be quite difficult to manage. And, it might even cause you a fine.
  • Stop bad water retention. If you dump your grass trimmings and leaves into a large container, that's normal. But, if you're not going to empty it right away, you should consider drilling a few small holes in the bottom. This will allow it to drain so it's not too heavy.
  • Bundle branches together. Cut branches down to about three to four feet in length and bind them with twine to make them easy to carry. Also, be sure to reuse the soil for other spots, instead of placing it with grass trimmings.
