Spring clean up. Tree pruning season. Piles of fallen leaves.<\/h4>\n

At certain times of the year, you may be overwhelmed by the sheer volume of yard and garden waste heaped in your backyard. Island Junk Removal Solutions garden waste removal services take care of nature\u2019s waste for you, ensuring the bulk of these materials are eventually turned back into soil.<\/p>\n

Is it Compostable?<\/h4>\n

Some natural materials cannot be included with regular garden waste disposal. The CRD defines yard and garden waste as:<\/p>\n

\u201cOrganic materials, substances or objects including, but not necessarily limited to, grass, lawn and hedge clippings, grass sod, flowers, weeds, leaves, vegetable stalks, shrubs, and shrub and tree branches less than 75 mm (3 inches) in diameter.\u201d<\/p>\n

This includes kitchen scraps, which were banned from regular household garbage disposal in 2015. Many people compost their own kitchen scraps and yard waste, but find that the compost pile overflows from time to time. In that case, we can help! Compost is important to the natural ecosystem, and we know what to do if you find yourself with too much of this natural resource.
