Fall Cleanout Tips: Prepare Your Home for Winter

New England winters are no joke. Getting your property cleaned up before the first snow saves headaches all season long.

Why Fall Cleanouts Matter

• Debris buried under snow becomes a spring nightmare
• Storm-damaged trees and branches should be cleared before ice adds weight
• Outdoor furniture and equipment deteriorate faster in winter weather
• A clean property is easier to maintain during snow removal

Fall Cleanout Checklist

Yard

• Clear dead branches and storm debris
• Remove dead plants and garden waste
• Clean out garden sheds
• Stack or dispose of old firewood

Exterior

• Remove old siding, trim, or damaged materials
• Clear gutters and dispose of debris
• Take down old fencing
• Clean up construction leftovers from summer projects

Garage and Basement

• Final sort before winter — get rid of what you didn't use all summer
• Remove broken outdoor furniture
• Dispose of old lawn equipment

Dumpster Size for Fall Cleanout

• Yard cleanup only: 15-yard ($350)
• Yard + garage cleanout: 15-yard ($350)
• Major fall overhaul (multiple areas): 20-yard ($400)

Timing Tip

Book your fall dumpster by mid-October. November gets busy as everyone rushes to clean up before winter, and December weather can delay pickups.
