Make Big Yard Cleanup Projects Quicker, Cheaper, and Easier by Keeping Yard Waste Dry

Big yard cleanup projects can be tough, but they don’t have to break your back—or your budget. Whether you’re clearing out storm debris, trimming overgrown shrubs, or tackling a landscaping overhaul, one key tip can make all the difference: keep your yard waste dry.

Wet yard waste is heavier, harder to manage, and more expensive to dispose of. Leaves, grass, branches, and especially soil absorb water like sponges, turning manageable debris into a burdensome load. Many disposal facilities charge by weight, so keeping yard waste dry can save you money while also making the removal process faster and easier.

A tarp is your best defense against rain and moisture. Use it to cover piles of leaves, branches, and other debris while you work. Secure it with rocks, stakes, or bungee cords to ensure it stays in place. For smaller items like leaves and grass clippings, bagging them in weather-resistant or biodegradable bags keeps them dry and contained.

Storing yard waste in a covered area, such as under a porch or carport, can also protect it from the elements. If no covered space is available, be sure to keep it covered and off the ground to minimize water absorption. Once your cleanup is done, schedule a pickup with A+ Junk Hauling as soon as possible to remove the debris before rain can soak it.
