It is time to declutter your garden

If your garden is looking rather disorganised, it is time to roll your sleeves up and get to work. Clutter doesn’t just occupy your home. It is as prominent in the garden, where various items and areas could become an eyesore. Whether it is broken items that you have kept around for some reason, or outdated furniture and garden features that you no longer desire, it is time to act now and deal with it all.

Here are few things to consider:

• Old garden furniture – instead of hauling the outdated garden furniture to the bin, consider repairing it. Perhaps it will not take you much to refurbish it in a way that makes it usable. If you lack the skills or the desire to do any repair work, maybe you can donate it to your neighbour or even sell it. All of these options are better than just tossing the furniture item, so do consider what you can do with it.
• Be careful with old paint – that is one thing you don’t want to toss in the garbage. Look for recycling centres in your area and take the paint to them. Also, you can look for a company that can come to your address and perform rubbish removal with care for recycling. It is another way to dispose of paint in an eco-friendly manner.
• Garden pots and containers – repairing these items is not easy, nor is it something you want to do. If you have any broken ornaments or statues, you can still place them in the garden. Sometimes these items bring an eclectic look to the place. If said items are too damaged, however, you should just put them in the recyclable bin.
• Fix your dying lawn – if you cringe every time you glance at your lawn in the backyard, then it is time to fix it. Did you know that you can hardscape the area and go without a lawn? This is an especially viable solution for areas that are affected by drought. Do that now, and you will have a lovely area in the garden without the need to invest too much effort to keep it that way.
• Recycling wood – it seems that every garden out there has many wooden pieces. Maybe you want to turn them into a nice crafty project, or you are waiting for an impromptu bonfire opportunity. Regardless, that is clutter taking precious space in the garden, and it needs to go. Wood can be recycled so make sure you do that.
• Remove broken tools and equipment – there is not much you can do about broken tools. It is actually dangerous to work with broken items, as loose components can detach at any time and hurt you or cause damage to your property.

Addressing all of these aspects in one big rubbish removal swoop can make your garden a much better place than before. Be sure to find time to do it.
