Whether you have a few large items to get rid of or an entire home's worth of unwanted belongings, hiring a junk removal service is a great solution.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWith so many junk removal companies out there, it's important to make sure that you're hiring a reputable, quality service in your area.
\r\n
We've put together a list of the tell-tale signs of a quality junk removal service provider to help you hire the best company for your project.
\r\n\r\n![\"Signs](\"/sites/default/files/inline-images/11-signs-junk-removal-info_1.jpg\")
\r\nOne of the first signs of a quality junk removal company is that they offer free estimates to potential clients.
\r\n\r\nIt's standard practice for junk removal services to come to your project location to evaluate your project and provide you with an on-site junk removal estimate if it's more than a few items.
\r\n\r\nAfter the service provider gives you a quote, you can choose to accept their pricing and move forward with hiring them to do the work or pass on their services if you don't agree with the price. If you do approve of the quote, they'll typically get to work immediately.
\r\n\r\nIn the age of social distancing, many junk removal companies have adapted by offering free quotes over the phone or via email, granted you provide photos and/or a detailed description.
\r\n\r\nWe recommend steering clear of any junk removal company that refuses to provide you with a quote prior to hiring them.
\r\n\r\nHometown makes it easy to find junk removal companies that service your area, and all businesses we publish provide commitment-free estimates for all their customers. Getting multiple quotes allows you to get an idea of the level of customer service you can expect to receive from each company, as well as compare pricing and find a company that has availability when you need it.

\r\nFrom first contact until the completion of your project, the junk removal company you hire should be consistently easy to get ahold of.
\r\n\r\nIf it's a small operation, a call back within 24 hours should be expected.
\r\n\r\nIf you're having a hard time reaching an available team member before even hiring them, opting for a company that communicates more consistently could save you from future headaches.
\r\n\r\nMuch like the ability to get ahold of a company, the quality of their customer service should be heavily considered.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIf you feel like the person on the other end of the phone is anything less than polite and professional, there are plenty of other operations out there that can make your experience more enjoyable.
\r\n
When you put your hard-earned money towards a large cleanup project, you don't want to deal with any added grief from an inconsiderate or non-communicative service representative.
\r\n\r\n![\"two](\"/sites/default/files/inline-images/furniture-removal.png\")
\r\nDepending on the size of your project and the time of year, it's reasonable to expect to find a junk removal service that can get rid of your unwanted items within 48-72 hours.
\r\n\r\nLarger projects may require more resources and planning and could take longer, while projects on the smaller side could be completed the day of your first phone call.
\r\n\r\nIf you're on a tight time schedule, it's important to communicate your needs and expectations so that you can weed out any services that don't have the availability you require.
\r\n\r\nA great way to tell if a company offers quality services is to read their customer reviews.
\r\n\r\nSometimes, those motivated to negatively (or positively) impact a company's reputation may leave false reviews online, which you can read more about here.
\r\n\r\nFor newer businesses or old-timers who don't have much of an online presence, ask them for references.
\r\n\r\nA junk removal company with no online presence that refuses to provide references upon request should be avoided.
\r\n\r\nInstead of hiring the first junk removal company you find online, you should shop around for pricing.
\r\n\r\nMost companies will be aware of what their competitors are charging and will price their services competitively, but a company that jumps out as being priced much higher or much lower than their local competitors is a red flag.
\r\n\r\nHiring the cheapest option might not necessarily be the best option and could reflect sloppy workmanship or poor qualifications.
\r\n\r\nKeep reading:
\r\n\r\nIt's important that the junk removal company you hire has a relationship with local recycling facilities.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWith nearly 140 million tons of trash ending up in U.S. landfills every year, it's important now more than ever to hire companies that utilize environmentally-friendly practices.
\r\n
Most junk removal companies will sort through your junk and recycle as much material as possible. Items that are still in good working condition might be donated to local charities on your behalf. Even some construction and demolition debris can be recycled.
\r\n\r\nAsk the junk removal companies you speak to how they dispose of the items they take, and go with the service that minimizes their environmental impact.
\r\n\r\nRead on:
\r\n\r\n![\"junk](\"/sites/default/files/inline-images/proper-equipment.png\")
\r\nIf you have a large removal project, it's important to make sure that the company you hire has a truck large enough to accommodate your project.
\r\n\r\nSmall hauling capabilities that would require several trips as opposed to one or two trips will not only mean that your project will take longer to complete, but the additional fuel and labor hours could be reflected in a higher final bill.
\r\n\r\nIf you have a big or bulky item to remove, like a hot tub or appliance, it's important to make sure that the junk removal companies you speak with have the proper tools and manpower to remove these large items, especially if there are flights of stairs involved.
\r\n\r\nWith the exception of a few items (car tires, batteries, household hazardous wastes, etc.), quality junk removal services should be able to accommodate your removal needs. This includes household junk, construction and demolition debris, appliances, yard waste, and more.
\r\n\r\nIt's important to note that there are plenty of junk removal companies that can and will remove these types of items, but they may be harder to find and will likely charge more to reflect the more expensive disposal methods legally required.
\r\n\r\nSome junk removal companies even offer light demolition services, like shed demolition, deck removal, and fence removal.
\r\n\r\nLearn more:
\r\n\r\nBeing licensed, bonded, and insured is a non-negotiable when it comes to hiring junk removal services.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nAnyone trying to operate a business without a business license is a huge liability to you and your property, not to mention suggests dishonest business practices.
\r\n
Making sure the company is bonded is important in making sure that you are not held financially responsible for any work that the company fails to perform properly.
\r\n\r\nInsurance is equally as important, making sure to protect you from any harm or damage caused to you, a worker, or your property.
\r\n\r\n![\"sweeping](\"/sites/default/files/inline-images/sweeping-debris.png\")
\r\nReputable, high-quality junk removal services will always strive to leave each job site better than they found it.
\r\n\r\nAfter removing and loading all of your unwanted items, they should be sure to sweep up any remaining pieces of garbage and debris. The idea should be to present you with a new space, completely clear of all garbage and junk.
\r\n\r\nThis usually only applies to projects that encompass whole rooms, garages, or houses.
\r\n\r\nIf you have a large cleanout, ask to see before and after photos of previous projects so you can get an idea of how thorough their work is.

\r\n\r\nThe idea of cleaning out out a home or property top to bottom can be overwhelming to even think about, let alone follow through with. That's why we've put together this complete home cleanout checklist to help you organize an easy-to-follow strategy for guaranteed results. Our home cleanout guide will break down every part of the home and the most efficient methods to ensure a successful home cleanout.
\r\n\r\n![\"Complete](\"/sites/default/files/inline-images/home-cleanout-checklist-infographic_1.jpg\")
\r\nThe first thing you should do when tackling a whole home cleanout is to map out a plan of attack.
\r\n\r\nFirst determine what your goal for this cleanout is. Are you in charge of an estate or eviction cleanout and need to get rid of every single item throughout the entire house? Are you preparing to move and want to get rid of as much as possible before packing up your belongings? Has it been years since you've gone through your home and decluttered items you rarely use? Knowing what your goal is and the type/amount of items you'd like to get rid of will help you plan for how you'll dispose of these items.
\r\n\r\nThe next thing you should do is create a schedule. Do you have a deadline that this project needs to be done by, or can you take your time and work on it whenever is convenient? Are you someone who likes to dedicate a whole week/weekend to see a project to its completion, or do you like to work in sections and tackle one area at a time with breaks in between? Having a rough idea of what you want your project schedule to look like will help you create a plan, which is critical for a successful home cleanout. If you have a hard time deciding where to start, create a map of your home and label each room with a rating of 1-5: 1 being the easiest to clean and 5 being the most difficult to clean.
\r\n\r\nBasements and attics used for storage of things that have piled up over the years are great contenders for a 5 rating, while smaller rooms that are used and organized often, like bathrooms, will be easier to clean out and can get a lower rating of 1. Create a list and order your rooms based on their difficulty level to help you decide which rooms to start with and which rooms to end with. You can either decide to tackle the most difficult rooms first and save the easy rooms for last, or vice versa. Whatever you find most motivating is the path you should take.
\r\n\r\nBefore you get started, you'll want to have a way to dispose of or organize the items you're removing. Do you plan on throwing everything away? Will you be donating or trying to sell some valuable or gently used items? Unless you plan on throwing everything out, you'll want to make sure you have boxes or bags to organize your items that can be donated or sold so that they aren't mistakenly mixed in with all the junk you plan on trashing.
\r\n\r\nUnorganized kitchen tools, expired pantry items, mismatched or chipped dishes, and messy cabinets can make a kitchen look and feel like a stressful, cluttered mess. Even the dirtiest kitchen cleanout can be completed with minimal stress and relative ease if a plan is established before you begin. The first thing you should do is determine what you want to get rid of. Are you getting rid of everything in the kitchen, or just the junk you no longer use? Maybe you're moving and you want to keep the basics and get rid of all the food. Whatever your goal is, establish it before diving in.
\r\n\r\nIf you're handling an estate cleanout, eviction, or are moving out, start by going through all cabinets and drawers and create three separate piles: one pile of items to keep, one to donate, and one to throw away. If you aren't moving and are just doing a basic kitchen cleanout, you can keep the items you're not getting rid of in the drawers and cabinets for now, but remove any items that can be donated, sold, or thrown away and place them into respective piles.
\r\n\r\nIf you need to get rid of one or more kitchen appliances, consider hiring a junk removal company to do the heavy lifting for you. In addition to appliances, they can also remove your bags or boxes of unwanted items throughout the house, allowing you to get rid of all your junk in one fell swoop. One step further, junk removal companies can even help with the aftermath of a kitchen remodel and any interior demolition that happens as a result. They can haul away any debris you have in addition to any appliances and furniture you need hauled away as well. Find local interior demolition contractors to help with your kitchen remodel by searching on Hometown Demolition.
\r\n\r\nOnce you've removed all the items you no longer want to keep, it's time to clean and organize the remaining items. If the kitchen is completely cleared of all items, cleaning should be generally straight forward, and we recommend working from top to bottom.
\r\n\r\nStart by dusting any fans or light fixtures and cabinets anchored on the top half of the kitchen. Then, clean bottom cabinets, drawers, or other storage areas. For your drawers and cabinets with food and items still in them, and the refrigerator, remove the items to clean the area they're stored in, and then be sure to place them back in their respective \"home\" in a neat and orderly fashion.
\r\n\r\nFrom there, you can clean the insides of your kitchen appliances, like microwaves, refrigerators, ovens, and dishwashers if necessary. Once all the interiors of your kitchen have been cleaned, clean all the remaining surfaces in your kitchen, like the countertops, outsides of your appliances, and the floors.
\r\n\r\nIf you're taking breaks between the different areas of your home, you should find a disposal solution for your piles of garbage and junk right away so that you aren't living amongst the piles. Items that can be donated can be dropped off at Goodwill or The Salvation Army during business hours. Garbage can be placed in your trash bin, unless there is a very large amount of items to throw out. If it won't all fit in your garbage bin, you should consider renting a dumpster and tackling the rest of your home as soon as possible. Dumpster rentals are an affordable and efficient way to manage a home cleanout project and can take the stress out of figuring out the disposal aspect of your project.
\r\n\r\nCleaning out your living room can be handled in the same way that a kitchen cleanout is approached, but it will likely take you less time. Living rooms aren't typically rooms we use for storage and instead tend to be a less cluttered living space in comparison to kitchens, basements, and bedrooms. That said, if you have a large, old entertainment center with hundreds of DVDs, games, or other items, you'll certainly want to take the time to go through and organize these items and get rid of things that are no longer used.
\r\n\r\nOld furniture or technology can sometimes be sold, donated, or given away for free, but may need to be hauled away to a landfill if they are too worn to be salvaged. In this case, a dumpster rental or junk removal company is your best solution. Even if you have a truck that can haul it to the landfill yourself, you'll likely need to make several trips by the time you're done cleaning out your entire home. Some cities allow you to place large furniture items at the end of your driveway for pickup, but you have to pay for this service ahead of time and make arrangements with your trash pickup provider to avoid being fined.

\r\n\r\nAs with every other room in your home, the first step to cleaning out a bedroom is to determine what your goals are and what needs to go. If it's been a while since you've cleaned out your bedroom (or your children's), there may be items stored in the back of closets or dressers from years ago. A good place to start in a bedroom is the closets. Not only are the closets where most of our clutter and unused items are stored, but once your closet is emptied and reorganized, you'll likely find that you have space to store the items that were previously shoved underneath the bed or scattered on top of dressers.
\r\n\r\nIf you store all of your clothes in your bedroom, consider separating your wardrobe based on seasons. If it's currently a warmer season and you have winter coats, jackets, and shoes taking up valuable space in your closet, consider boxing up your winter wardrobe and storing it elsewhere to make your closet more manageable and functional. Doing this will automatically require that you go through your closet twice a year to swap out your wardrobe, conveniently making it a bi-annual habit of sorting through your bedroom storage and helping you keep your closet under control.
\r\n\r\nWhen you're struggling with deciding what to keep and what to get rid of, consider when the last time it was that you used or wore the item in question. If it's been 6+ months, it's probably safe to donate or throw away.
\r\n\r\nBathrooms should be relatively easy to clean out as they tend to be smaller and the storage in bathrooms tends to be for items that we use regularly, if not daily. Take the same approach as you did with your kitchen cleanout and start with the top of the bathroom and work your way down to lower cabinets, drawers, and storage areas.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIf you're someone who enjoys accumulating cosmetics and has a hard time getting rid of these items and storage of these items has now become an issue, you should start your bathroom cleanout with these items.
\r\n
Many cosmetics have expiration dates, so be sure to check for dates on your makeup. Most makeup products shouldn't be kept for longer than 6-12 months. Keep in mind that toiletries or cosmetics of any kind should never be donated unless they are completely unused and unopened, so if you have half-used products that you'd like to get rid of, be sure to throw away the product and recycle the containers when possible.
\r\n\r\nFor the average homeowner, the attic is the least visited part of their house, making it an ideal breeding ground for dust or an undiagnosed mold or vermin infestation. This is why you should wear protective gear when sorting through your piled up boxes in the attic. An attic cleanout, more than any other space in the house, should be an area that you tackle with a partner. There are risks associated with climbing up and down attic stairs or a ladder, combined with the poor ventilation and heat risks of working in an attic.
\r\n\r\nWhen cleaning out an attic, the best strategy and is to start by either removing all items or moving all items to one end of the space so that you can go in and do some deep cleaning before working in the area. Sweep, dust, and vacuum the attic top to bottom before sorting through everything that is stored in there.
\r\n\r\nEven if you only use your attic for storage and don't plan on getting rid of anything, it's still important to periodically go through the items that are kept in there to ensure that there is no water or pest damage to the items you're storing in there. It's common for people to store family heirlooms or photographs in their basement or attic, and since these items are sentimental, you want to check on them often to ensure they're still in good shape.
\r\n\r\nIf you're removing everything from the attic, consider hiring a professional junk removal company to eliminate the risk of injury. Navigating ladders or attic stairs can be dangerous on its own, let alone with the added obstacle of removing and hauling boxes and other heavy items. Hiring a junk removal crew to clear our your attic will cut down the time it takes you to complete your project significantly.
\r\n\r\nCleaning out your basement will follow the same strategy as all other rooms: establishing a plan, sorting through the area in sections, and separating items into piles to keep, donate, and trash. Working on a large area, like a basement, in sections will help you stay on track and will make it less likely for you to get overwhelmed throughout the process.
\r\n\r\nIf your basement is unfinished, dusty, and full of cobwebs, we recommend taking the same approach as you would for an attic cleanout by being prepared with protective gear like gloves, boots, and masks for protection. If you have to remove everything and haul it up one or more flights of stairs, consider hiring a junk removal crew, or at the very least, recruiting help of your own. If you want to avoid handling this dirty job altogether, basement cleanout companies can assist you.
\r\n\r\nWhen reorganizing your belongings, keep like items together for easy access. For example, keep holiday decorations in one central location, family keepsakes in another, etc.
\r\n\r\nRead on:
\r\n\r\n![\"Messy](\"/sites/default/files/inline-images/messy-garage.jpg\")
\r\nWhile accessing a garage typically doesn't require walking up and down flights of stairs, a similar approach should be taken to a garage cleanout as you would a basement cleanout. Garages can be a host for bugs and other pests and should be sorted through carefully. It's also common for garages to store different types of flammable or otherwise dangerous chemicals, like gasoline, fertilizers, oil, lighter fluid, paint, and other car fluids. It's also not uncommon for sharp or rusty metal to be found in garages, like nails, tools, and other metal surfaces.
\r\n\r\nUse caution and protection when sorting through your garage, but utilize the same strategies that you use throughout the rest of your home but removing items you no longer want or need, and then cleaning and organizing the remaining items, being sure to keep like items in the same area. You can organize your garage to have a section for lawn care items, an area for tools and equipment, and area for car items, and an area for toys and other leisure activities. If you want to avoid handling your dirty garage cleanout, garage cleanout services are a great option.
\r\n\r\nA well-landscaped home can be worth 5.5-13% or more than a comparable home without landscaping, so when you take on a full home cleanout, don't overlook your yard. The first step to cleaning up your yard is to have a disposal plan in place. Most yard waste like grass clippings, twigs, and weeds can be composted. If you don't have a place to compost your yard waste and have a lot of it, consider renting a dumpster or hiring a junk removal company to haul away your collected yard waste for you.
\r\n\r\nWhen it comes to cleaning up your yard, start by collecting and bagging any litter that has blown into your yard. If you have lawn equipment, furniture, or toys, put them in their proper place. Next, you can scan the yard for any twigs, sticks, and branches and either bag them up or place them in a bucket that you can later use as kindling later. While you're scanning the yard for sticks, also keep your eyes peeled for any rocks or stones that are large enough to disrupt the mowing process.
\r\n\r\nFrom there, you should start weeding, either by hand or with the aid of a weed killer if the issue is widespread across your yard. Once the yard is cleaned up, spruce up your shrubs, bushes, and trees by trimming them when needed and giving them a nice shape. After all aspects of your yard have been manicured, top it off by mowing your yard and then using a leaf blower to clear off the driveway, sidewalk, and patio from any debris.
\r\n\r\nProfessional yard waste removal services are a great resource for people who would like assistance with the entire yard cleanup or simply a pile of yard waste debris. Although, in some cases, a yard waste dumpster rental that is loaded strictly with yard waste and no other junk is another great option if you don't mind loading the debris yourself and saving money to do so.
\r\n\r\nContinue reading:
\r\n\r\nThere are two options to consider when cleaning out a house: renting a dumpster and hiring a junk removal service If you're someone who wants to clean out their home but you struggle to find the time or motivation to get it done, hiring a professional house cleanout company to assist you could be the perfect solution. If you're someone that likes to cut costs, then a temporary dumpster rental may be the option you prefer.
\r\n\r\nIf you plan on going the DIY route rather than hiring a full-service junk removal company, hauling it all to the landfill yourself may not be a feasible or desirable option, let alone the most cost- and time-effective. Renting a dumpster is arguably the best way to manage all the garbage your home cleanout will produce. This is especially true when you know you'll need to get rid of large or bulky items like old appliances, electronics, light fixtures, furniture, etc.
\r\n\r\nThe convenience of having a dumpster on hand compared to having to haul individual truckloads to your local landfill yourself will have a significant impact on the time it takes you to complete your home cleanout project. For perspective, a 20 yard dumpster holds around 10-12 pickup truck loads' worth of items, not to mention you won't have to wait in line for potentially hours for your chance at damaging your vehicle or popping a tire at the landfill.
\r\n\r\nIf you'd rather have more help, junk removal services are the way to go. Experienced junk removal companies that offer home cleanout services have the ability to empty out a large home full of unwanted items, donate salvageable items to local charities, recycle items that are accepted in recycling projects, and dispose of the rest - all in a time-efficient manner.
\r\n\r\nJunk removal companies have the equipment and manpower to remove heavy items up and down flights of stairs and make it easy to get rid of all your unwanted junk so you can focus on cleaning and reorganizing the items you plan on keeping.
\r\n\r\nRegardless of which service you decide will work best for your project, you'll likely get the best price and the best service by working with a locally-owned and operated company. Hometown makes it easy to find local junk removal and dumpster rental companies that service your zip code. You can fill out our single quote request form to send to up to 3 local service providers in your area so that you can receive multiple quotes to compare pricing, availability, and customer service.

\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWhen you have trash, junk, or debris to dispose of, we at Hometown strongly recommend hiring a reputable trash removal company, whether you rent a dumpster or hire a junk removal company, to assist you. This will reduce the chances of overpaying and receiving poor customer service.
\r\n
Hometown makes it easy to find qualified trash removal companies in your area.
\r\n\r\nFor your regular day-to-day trash, a weekly curbside trash collection service is the ideal solution.
\r\n\r\nYour town or city may offer local trash pick-up services, and Waste Management and Republic Services are two other very popular curbside pick-up companies that service the entire nation.
\r\n\r\nDon't toss just anything into your curbside trash, though; be sure you first check with your pick-up services' rules and regulations to ensure you only put acceptable items into your trash bin.
\r\n\r\nFor small cleanup projects that produce more than your weekly trash bin can accommodate, junk removal services are likely the best and most cost-effective option.
\r\n\r\nJunk removal companies offer a more all-inclusive service in which they load up your trash, junk, or debris for you, then haul it away to be separated and disposed of properly, i.e. donated, recycled, or taken to the landfill.
\r\n\r\nBecause of the additional labor junk removal services involve, they tend to be more expensive for larger, more involved cleanups, but are often quite cost-competitive for minor cleanups.
\r\n\r\nFor example, if you have a small pile of junk to get rid of, like an old toilet, broken chair, and a few bags of trash, a junk removal company will likely charge you somewhere around $100-$300 to dispose of it, depending on where you live.
\r\n\r\nThis amount of trash is not quite enough to make it worth renting a dumpster—which would cost $250-$450 on average for a 10 yard dumpster—unless you have a neighbor or friends/family who also have items to get rid of and may be willing to share the cost of the dumpster with you.
\r\n\r\nFor larger trash removal projects, like spring cleanings or similar home or company office cleanup projects, dumpster rental is likely the most cost-effective option.
\r\n\r\nAs previously mentioned, a 10 yard dumpster typically costs $250-$450 and is capable of accommodating a number of trash removal and cleanup projects.
\r\n\r\nHowever, if your project is very large or you have heavy debris or bulky items to dispose of, a 20 yard dumpster (or a larger 30 or 40 yard dumpster) may be the better option.
\r\n\r\nDumpster companies are great at helping people choose the dumpster that's best for their project as long as they have adequate information to do so.
\r\n\r\nWhen reaching out to dumpster rental companies, be sure you give them as much information about your project as possible so they can recommend the best dumpster size for your specific project.
\r\n\r\nAnother option for trash disposal when you have three yards of debris or less is buying a bag dumpster, like The Bagster by Waste Management.
\r\n\r\nThese \"dumpsters\" are made using a strong yet lightweight tarp-like material and come with durable straps that enable the dumpster truck to pick it up and haul it away.
\r\n\r\nHowever, keep in mind that three yards is not a lot of space, especially if you have bulky or oddly shaped items, and it may not be enough to complete your disposal.

Once the snow melts and plants start to grow back, it's time to give your yard a thorough cleanup to get you prepped and ready for the upcoming season.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nCleaning up your yard and getting it ready for continued maintenance throughout the spring and summer season is a great way to boost your home's curb appeal and get fresh air and exercise while you're at it.
\r\n
Learn where to start and how to make your yard cleanup as efficient as possible in this quick guide.
\r\n\r\n![\"Spring](\"/sites/default/files/inline-images/spring-cleanup-yard-info.jpg\")
\r\nOne of the very first things you should do if you haven't already is remove any seasonal decor that is still left in your yard or on the outside of your home. Any Christmas or Valentine's Day decor should be packed up and stored away for next year. If you love decorating your yard and home for different seasons, consider replacing your winter decor with spring-inspired decor. Tulips and other bright-colored flowers make beautiful front door wreaths, and patio string lights can replace the holiday-colored string lights people use during the winter months. Before you start putting out Easter decorations or patio furniture, be sure to complete the following yard cleanup steps.
\r\n\r\nMake sure that your entire yard is free from clutter and debris. This includes old play sets your children have outgrown, broken and worn bird baths, above ground pools, scrap metal, old bikes, rubber tires, stockpiled wood, or anything else that should otherwise be thrown away or recycled. Lawns should not be used for storage or to start your own backyard \"landfill.\" Allowing garbage and junk to pile up on your lawn will not only kill your grass, but it will collect sitting water that attracts bugs and other pests in search of shelter, not to mention unhappy neighbors if they have to look at your mess, too. Treating your yard like a scrap yard is a danger to any person or pet that steps foot on your property, and it's a huge liability for you as the homeowner.
\r\n\r\nWhen you purchase, inherit, or otherwise acquire a home with a completely unmaintained lawn full of junk and other yard scraps that need to be hauled away and disposed of, it's best to hire a professional yard cleanup company, or at the very least, rent a dumpster for safe and efficient disposal. A 10 or 20 yard dumpster rental will cost you around $250-$550 on average and typically includes 5-7 days of rental. Renting a dumpster is an affordable way to clean up and get rid of any junk in your yard that has been sitting, rotting, and devaluing your property.
\r\n\r\nIf you're unable or unwilling to do all of the heavy lifting and dirty work yourself, hiring a junk removal company to clear away all the waste in your yard is one of the easiest ways to do so. While a little bit more expensive than renting a dumpster, spring yard cleanup services with a professional junk removal company have an average cost of $500-$1,000, but the convenience of not having to lift a finger and not putting yourself at risk of harm or injury cannot be overstated.
\r\n\r\nRenting a dumpster or hiring a junk removal to help you clear out your yard of wanted items is a great way to instantly up your curb appeal and increase the value of your home. Finding a quality yard cleanup service in your area who is reliable and competitively priced is easy with Hometown. You can fill out our quote request form and receive up to three project quotes, completely free of charge, with the click of a button. Compare the multiple quotes you receive to determine who the best company is for the job and get started on your yard cleanup today.

\r\n\r\nAfter you make sure that your yard is clear of junk and scraps, the first thing you should do to prepare your yard for spring is go over it with a rake and remove all of the leftover dead debris that was trapped in place during the winter. If you have dogs, first do a yard sweep to pick up all their droppings so that it doesn't get mixed in with your yard waste.
\r\n\r\nFrom there, remove any fallen tree branches, sticks, or other large debris that can't be easily raked up. You can place these sticks and twigs into a bucket and later use them for kindling to start those sought-after summer bonfires. Also pick up any large rocks or stones that could damage your lawn mower. Having larger items out of the way will make raking your yard much easier.
\r\n\r\nThen, rake up any remaining dead leaves and weeds leftover from the fall. It's important to rake up as much loose debris as possible for the best results for a healthy lawn. The more material you have scattered across your lawn, the harder it will be for your lawn to get the water, nutrients, and sunshine needed to grow into a luscious, healthy lawn. After you've done this type of \"deep cleaning\" with a rake through your lawn, make it a habit to do this around once a month throughout the warmer seasons.
\r\n\r\nThese piles of dead leaves and other organic material can be conveniently composted or bagged in lawn waste bags approved by your city. Be sure not to place them in plastic bags and do not mix them in with your regular trash. Some municipalities will fine you for doing so. If you don't have an easy to way to compost your leaf pile and are unsure of what to do with it, research your weekly trash service to find out how they handle this type of waste.
\r\n\r\nIf you live in a cold climate and your yard is looking old, tired, and quite frankly, dead, consider starting a fertilizer schedule to jumpstart your lawn's regrowth. Fertilizer supplies your grass with nutrients needed to grow that depleted during the winter.
\r\n\r\nThere are plenty of different options available that make fertilizing your lawn straight forward and range from DIY options like Sunday to full-service options like TruGreen. Many experts believe that fertilizer should be applied at least twice a year, with the first fertilization typically planned for April or May. This will vary, however, based on the type of grass you have, your climate, soil nutrients, etc. Lawn care experts in your area will be able to tell you what will work best for your particular situation. For example, \"cool season\" grasses, like bluegrass and ryegrass, are typically fertilized in the early spring and beginning of fall, while other \"warm season\" grasses are typically fertilized in the spring and then again later in the summer.
\r\n\r\nUnderstanding your particular lawn's nutrient needs will help guide you on the best path for optimal lawn regrowth. It's also important to start mowing your lawn once it has grown to about 2.5-3 inches tall. Many people suggest mowing your lawn every 5 days once it has started to grow in the spring, and then slowing down to once a week during peak summer. When it's the warmest, you can allow your grass to grow longer, around 3.5-4 inches tall, to provide more shade and safety for the grass. Cutting your grass too short midsummer can result in scorched lawns that are a sight for sore eyes (and feet!).
\r\n\r\nAnother important aspect of a healthy lawn is not only removing weeds once they've shown up, but doing your best to prevent the start and spread of their growth before they can even be spotted. This is especially important if you noticed that weeds in your yard were very prevalent during the previous year. If weeds tend to be a problem in your yard, consider using a pre-emergent herbicide, or \"weed killer.\" Pre-emergent weed killers can be applied early in the spring where it will sit in the soil and destroy weed seed while it's germinating. If it's too late and weeds have already begun to sprout, using a post-emergent weed killer will work just as well, but will require more pruning and removal after the herbicide has taken affect.
\r\n\r\nOnce your lawn has been cleared of all debris and has been set up for success with fertilizer and pre-emergent weed killers, it's time to start giving your shrubs and trees some much needed attention. Remove any shrub shelters in place and make sure they're dry and dusted off. If there isn't any obvious damage to them, store them away so that they can be reused again in the fall.
\r\n\r\nThe goal of spring pruning is to remove any dead, damaged wood that is unpleasant to look at or could hinder the future growth of your plants. The trick of spring pruning, however, is to be careful to not prevent the growth of any buds or blooms. Making sure you know what to look for and properly timing out your trimming and pruning schedule is critical if you want to be successful. One of the more obvious things that you can feel confident in when you're trimming back shrubs is that if you can clearly see where the green part of the plant ends and a brown, dead spot of the plant begins, it is safe to remove and will instantly make your plant look more healthy and attractive.
\r\n\r\nIf you're someone who wants to trim your plant into a specific shape or length for aesthetic purposes, there are a few things to keep in mind before you go in with a pair of sheers. Shrubs that bud and flower have a specific growing schedule and prematurely cutting them off could ruin your chances of enjoying this season's bloom. There are many types of shrubs that grow their flowers (and sometimes fruit) from buds that were grown during the previous season before their winter hibernations. For example, pruning your blueberry bushes in the spring before they've fruited could result in you cutting off the buds that are suppose to flower and fruit.
\r\n\r\nIf you're unsure what your shrub or bush is, carefully inspect the branches of it in early spring, before any leaves have grown. If you spot any buds, be sure to only trim off dead branches and wait until after it blooms to trim it back. Other types of bushes and shrubs bloom later in the year on new growth that is produced in the current season. These shrubs are safe to trim back early on in the spring without fear of losing any buds and are safe to shape and trim to your preference.
\r\n\r\nTake a good look at any bushes or trees that are bordering any walls of your home, garage, sheds, or other outdoor structures. Large plants can retain and attract moisture and pests, which is why it's a good idea to have at least 2 feet of space between these plants and the exteriors of any structures on your property. Trim back any tree branches or shrubs that have grown too close to (or above) your home.
\r\n\r\nMulch is used for a variety of reasons, like retaining water, preventing weed growth, reducing soil erosion, and enhancing the look of your flowerbeds.
\r\n\r\nIf you previously laid down mulch over perennials for the winter, you'll need to remove it or brush it back so that it does not smother and hinder the regrowth of your perennials. Be sure to remove any old or excess mulch before applying your new mulch. When you're laying new mulch, you typically want to spread it between 2-4 inches thick, but you'll want to use it more sparingly around perennials, shrubs, and trees. Spreading mulch too heavily near these plants can either prevent water from getting to the roots, or cause too much water to pool and sit at the plant's base.
\r\n\r\nOnce your entire yard is cleaned up, consider using a pressure washer to give the exterior of your property an extra \"wow-factor.\" Spring time is the best time of year to power wash the exterior of your home, garage, shed, concrete sidewalks, driveway, and slabs, as well as composite and wooden decks and fencing. Washing away all signs of dirt, age, and other grime with a power washer gives your property an instant facelift and tells anyone driving by, \"This property is well maintained.\"
\r\n\r\nYou should only operate a power washer if you read the manual and understand exactly how to safely operate one, and you wear the appropriate shoes and safety gear. Failing to follow directions could at best end up in damaged property, and at worst could end up with serious injury.
\r\n\r\nPower washers should never be operated when it's under 40 degrees Fahrenheit out, as this can ruin the machinery. It's also important to understand the different types of pressures and chemicals that should be used on different surfaces so that you don't cause damage to the surfaces you're cleaning. Using caution when operating a power washer is crucial, as contact to people, pets, and plans can be extremely dangerous and harmful.
\r\n\r\nIf you have a wooden deck or fence that needs to be re-stained, you should wait until the summertime to do so. Stain should be applied to completely dry wood, so the wet and sometimes chilly spring weather is a less than ideal time to stain your deck or fence.
\r\n\r\nIf all the power washing and re-staining in the world wouldn't be able to salvage the look of your deck, fence, concrete, or shed, considering light demolition could be a worthwhile investment.
\r\n\r\nHiring a professional to handle your light demolition is easily the safest and most time-efficient way to reinvent your property and make room for improvements. Light demolition costs vary based on a number of factors, including the type and size of the shed, deck, fence, or concrete slab, the materials being removed, the location and accessibility of the structures/material, and who you hire. That being said, we've put together a list of the average costs for these types of projects across the U.S.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
| Project Type | \r\n\t\t\tAverage Cost | \r\n\t\t
| Shed demolition | \r\n\t\t\t$600-$2,000 | \r\n\t\t
| Deck removal | \r\n\t\t\t$600-$1,000 | \r\n\t\t
| Fence removal | \r\n\t\t\t$600-$800 | \r\n\t\t
| Concrete patio removal | \r\n\t\t\t$300-$4,500 | \r\n\t\t
| Concrete sidewalk removal | \r\n\t\t\t$500-$2,000 | \r\n\t\t
| Concrete driveway removal | \r\n\t\t\t$500-$2,500 | \r\n\t\t
\r\n\r\n
Your exact project cost will depend on the variety of factors described above, but the best way to get an accurate estimate for your project is to reach out to multiple contractors in your area for a quote. This not only ensures you get the best price but also allows you to choose the best contractor for the job, not just the cheapest.
\r\n\r\nSearch your zip code on Hometown Demolition and answer a few short questions about your project to find local contractors who can provide the demolition you need, when you need it.
