Leaf Me Alone! Your Guide to Yard Waste Dumpsters in Memphis This Fall

Fall in Memphis is a special time. The air is crisp, football season is in full swing, and the leaves put on a breathtaking show of color before making their way to the ground. But with that beauty comes a chore we all know too well: dealing with those piles of leaves!

Now, you could spend your weekends raking, bagging, and hauling those leaves to the curb, but who wants to do that when there’s pumpkin spice latte sippin’ and Tigers games to watch? That’s where Mid-South Dumpster Rentals comes in. We’re your local experts for all things dumpster, and we’re here to make your fall yard cleanup a breeze.

Why Choose a Yard Waste Dumpster?

Think of it this way: a yard waste dumpster is like your own personal black hole for all those leaves, branches, and other yard debris. Just toss it all in and let us handle the rest. Here’s why it makes sense to rent a dumpster for your fall cleanup:

  • Save Time and Energy: No more endless raking, bagging, and trips to the landfill. Just load up the dumpster and get back to enjoying your fall weekends.
  • Protect Your Back: Let’s face it, yard work can be tough on your body. With a dumpster, you can avoid the strain of lifting and hauling heavy bags of leaves.
  • Keep Your Yard Looking Sharp: A pile of leaves sitting on your curb for weeks isn’t exactly the best look. A dumpster keeps your yard clean and tidy throughout the fall season.
  • Environmentally Friendly: We make sure your yard waste is disposed of properly, often at composting facilities where it can be turned into nutrient-rich soil.

What Exactly Can Go in a Yard Waste Dumpster?

Our yard waste dumpsters are like the hungry hippos of the waste management world – they can handle just about any organic material your yard throws at them. Here’s the rundown:

  • Leaves: Maple, oak, sycamore – you name it, we take it! No matter how many trees you have, we’ve got a dumpster that can handle the load.
  • Branches: Did a recent storm leave you with some downed limbs? Toss ’em in the dumpster! Just make sure they’re cut down to a manageable size.
  • Twigs and Sticks: All those little bits and pieces add up. Don’t worry about bundling them up – just throw them in the dumpster.
  • Grass Clippings: Get that last mow of the season done and dispose of those clippings the easy way.
  • Shrubs and Bushes: Trimming back your shrubs? The dumpster is ready for those clippings too.
  • Flower and Vegetable Plants: Time to clean out those garden beds? Say goodbye to those spent plants with a toss in the dumpster.

What NOT to Put in a Yard Waste Dumpster:

While our yard waste dumpsters are pretty tough, there are a few things they can’t handle. Here’s what you need to keep out:

  • Household Trash: That goes in your regular trash can or a separate dumpster.
  • Construction Debris: Lumber, drywall, concrete – those need a construction dumpster.
  • Hazardous Materials: Paints, chemicals, batteries – those need to be disposed of properly at a designated facility.
  • Food Waste: While technically organic, food waste can attract pests and create unpleasant odors. Compost it at home or dispose of it in your regular trash.
  • Dirt and Rocks: These can add a lot of weight and take up valuable space in the dumpster.

Choosing the Right Size Yard Waste Dumpster:

We offer a range of dumpster sizes to fit any yard, from a cozy courtyard to a sprawling estate. Here’s a quick guide to help you choose the right size:

  • 10-yard dumpster: Perfect for smaller yards with a moderate amount of leaves. This dumpster can hold around 50 bags of leaves.
  • 20-yard dumpster: Got a bigger yard with more trees? This size can handle approximately 100 bags of leaves, plus branches and other yard debris.
  • 30-yard dumpster: For those with a lot of land or a major landscaping project, this dumpster can hold around 150 bags of leaves and other yard waste.

Still not sure which size is right for you? No problem! Give us a call, and one of our friendly team members will be happy to help you figure it out.

A Few More Fall Cleanup Tips:

  • Don’t wait until the last minute: Leaves tend to fall gradually throughout the season. Renting a dumpster early can help you stay on top of the cleanup and avoid a massive pileup at the end.
  • Layer your debris: To make the most of your dumpster space, try layering leaves with branches to prevent everything from compacting at the bottom.
  • Protect your lawn: If you’re worried about the dumpster damaging your lawn, we can provide plywood to place under the dumpster for added protection.
  • Check with the city: Memphis has specific rules about yard waste disposal, so it’s always a good idea to check the city’s website or give them a call if you have any questions.
