  • Not Sorting Properly: Failing to categorize items can lead to unnecessary disposal fees.
  • 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.
