When it comes to landscaping projects, and any number of other outdoor projects, there can be one big problem. What to do about some of the resulting debris. If it’s simply branches and plants, then the solution is relatively simple. Bag them up and set them out for the city to pick up.

Some of the heavier Dirt/Rocks/Brick that can be a problem. It could be old bricks or broken up concrete or rocks. It might even be dirt if you’re digging a hole.

If it’s a big project such as tearing up a driveway or sidewalk, you’ll have a lot to get rid of. Yet even a small amount can be a challenge to dispose of.

Start to toss this type of waste in a trash can and you’ll find out pretty fast that it doesn’t take much for the bin to be too heavy to lift.

Even if this material wasn’t so dense, it would still be difficult to get rid of. After all, you can’t just set out a bag of rocks for the city to pick up. Or a trash can full of dirt. Most cities won’t pick up these items. In fact, they seldom take any construction debris.

If you’re about to do some landscaping or work that will result in this type of debris, you might want to consider your options before you even begin the work. You don’t want your great-looking landscaping project detracted by the pile of debris near it.
