When the rain (and snow) lets up, your spring cleaning projects start beckoning. While most people tend to think of cleaning their indoors, your home's outdoors can use sprucing up, as well.

There is often much more to revitalizing your property than simply mowing and trimming the grass and taking care of all the leaves you still need to rake up. It may include pruning tress, shrubs, roses and other flowers. In addition, it may involve clearing out overgrown areas and even replacing some plants and yard decor.

You may have a number of projects waiting to be done around your house and yard. And they might create large amounts of trash and debris. So, how will you get rid of it all?

You can haul it all out yourself. If you have a truck, or access to one, you can load the trash, junk and debris and take it to the local landfill. If you have one. And then you can unload it all yourself, pay the fees, and maybe do this a number of times until the job is complete.
