Fall Is Coming: What Should You Do With All That Yard Debris?


Fall Is Coming: What Should You Do With All That Yard Debris?

As summer winds down and fall is arriving in Colorado, yard cleanup becomes a familiar seasonal chore. Leaves begin to fall, trees may need pruning, and summer landscaping projects can leave behind piles of branches, grass clippings, and other organic debris.
But once you've finished cleaning up your property, an important question remains: What are you going to do with all that debris?
Instead of leaving piles sitting around all winter or sending usable organic material to the landfill, consider recycling it with EnviroWorks, Inc.

Fall Cleanup Creates More Debris Than You Think
A typical fall cleanup can generate a surprising amount of material. Between trimming trees and shrubs, clearing leaves, mowing for the last time, and preparing your property for winter, your yard can quickly become filled with organic waste. EnviroWorks, Inc.  accepts a variety of materials from residential and commercial customers, including:
  • Branches and limbs
  • Tree and shrub prunings
  • Logs up to 8 feet long and 2 feet in diameter
  • Pine needles
  • Leaves and grass clippings
These materials do not have to become waste. You can bring them to EnviroWorks, Inc. for recycling.

Don't Let Yard Debris Sit Around All Winter
It can be tempting to make a pile in the corner of your property and deal with it "later." But later can quickly turn into spring. Removing accumulated debris before winter can help keep your property cleaner and more manageable. For properties in areas where wildfire mitigation is a concern, reducing accumulated combustible vegetation and woody debris can also be an important part of responsible property maintenance.

EnviroWorks, Inc. provides designated drop-off locations in Morrison and Englewood, Colorado where homeowners, contractors, and businesses can bring tree, shrub, and slash materials for recycling instead of leaving them scattered in yards or sending them to a landfill.

Your Yard Waste Can Have a Second Life
One of the biggest benefits of recycling your yard debris is that the material doesn't simply disappear. At EnviroWorks, Inc., we process tree and slash materials and turn them into recycled wood products, including mulch. What started as a pile of branches or tree debris can become a useful resource for landscaping and other applications.
That's the idea behind recycling: don't think of it as waste, think of it as a resource waiting to be reused.

Have More Than You Can Handle?
Sometimes a fall cleanup produces more debris than a pickup truck can handle. That's where grapple truck services from Root Tree Service, EnviroWorks, Inc.’s sister company, can help. A grapple truck can pick up large piles of branches, logs, and woody debris and transport them for recycling. Instead of spending your weekend hauling load after load, a grapple truck can make large-volume debris removal much more efficient. You can work with your neighbors to remove debris quickly and efficiently.  Got a pile? We'll grapple it. Contact Root Tree Service at 720.369.2963 for pricing and availability.

Make Fall Cleanup Part of Your Seasonal Routine
Fall is about more than putting away patio furniture and preparing your landscaping for winter. It's also a great opportunity to see what has accumulated around your property and plan responsible disposal.
Whether you're a homeowner cleaning up after a summer of landscaping, a contractor finishing a tree project, or a property owner preparing for winter, recycling your organic debris is an easy way to make a difference.
