How do I dispose of excess sod?

• <div><p>There are several ways to dispose of excess sod, including building a compost pile, taking it to a green waste disposal facility, donating the sod, or reusing it in another part of your yard. It’s a good idea to check with your local municipality to see <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/yard-waste-removal-recycling-donating-and-reusing.htm">how to get rid of yard waste</a>, as some areas have local regulations on what can go in the green waste bin. For example, your recycling services may reject too much soil added to green waste.</p></div>

What can I use instead of a dumpster?

• <div><p>Alternatives to a dumpster include junk removal services and dumpster bags. These are good options if you have limited space and can’t fit a dumpster on your property or if a dumpster isn’t available. You can also take smaller loads of waste to a disposal facility yourself if you have a vehicle that can fit your items.</p></div>

Can I do my own leaf removal?

• <div><p>Yes, you can conduct your own leaf removal, but consider that keeping up with leaf removal is time-consuming and requires regular yard work throughout the fall. The process can take a few hours a week. Professionals have lawn equipment that can speed up the process and save you time. Additionally, consider how you’ll dispose of the leaves. If your sanitation company won’t pick them up—especially if you have many bags from a once-annual cleanup— you’ll have to drive the bags to the dump. It’s usually easier to leave the work and disposal to a professional leaf removal service.</p></div>

I called, Tom gave me an estimate and by mid-afternoon the work was done, all on the same day. I needed some piles of brush cleaned up and Renee and Matt worked in the rain to get the job done. They were prompt, courteous and hardworking. I will be definitely be calling Rubbish Doctor again.

They cut the damaged tree, removed all the branches and even cut the good wood into 2' lengths for me to use, all at a very reasonable price. All of the brush was raked up and the cut wood was even stacked for me. I plan to have them come back to do more cut and trim work soon.

Mr. Byers did exactly what he said he would and was $185 cheaper than another company that provided an estimate for the same work. My wobbly railing is now completely solid and it looks great! He even painted other parts of the railing that were chipped.

It’s usually easier to leave the work and disposal to a professional leaf removal service.

If you have a lot of trees around your home, mulching all those leaves can smother the lawn. Air and light won't reach the grass and soil if too many leaves have been mulched. Turf grass and other lawn problems can arise if the weather is too wet and excessive leaves have been mulched.

DIY is possible for small amounts of waste. Professional services handle larger volumes efficiently.
