• Tools Needed: Trash bags, a truck or trailer, gloves, and possibly a friend to help.

• Ignoring Local Regulations: Not all items can be disposed of in regular trash; be aware of local rules.

By following these guidelines and considering professional help, you can ensure your yard remains a beautiful and safe space for you and your family.
