Clearing
- Discarding Debris
Installing a new landscape can create a lot of debris, especially around an older home with existing plants, pavings and structures. Ask your garbage company about renting a large debris box, or look in the Yellow Pages under "Rubbish Containers & Hauling." A week's debris box rental can cost several hundred dollars--so schedule your work time to fill the box efficiently.
Money-Saving Tip
Instead of throwing away debris, re-use it. You can turn plant materials into
compost
or rent a
chipper
to chop them into
mulch. Broken concrete can become a small retaining wall or a new patio.
