Summer in Denver is something special. From backyard barbecues in Wash Park to relaxing evenings watching the sun set over the Rockies, our outdoor spaces are central to our lifestyle. But after a long winter and a spring of unpredictable weather, your yard can look less like an oasis and more like an obstacle course. Piles of fallen branches, a forgotten rusty grill, and aged patio furniture can keep you from truly enjoying your property. A thorough summer yard cleanup is the key to reclaiming your beautiful outdoor space in Denver.
This guide provides expert tips on tackling yard debris, helping you create a safe, clean, and inviting environment for family and friends. Whether you’re preparing for a graduation party, a Fourth of July celebration, or simply want a tidy space to unwind, we’ll walk you through how to handle the clutter efficiently.
When we talk about yard debris, it’s more than just leaves and grass clippings. A comprehensive summer cleanup often involves removing larger, bulkier items that accumulate over time. Handling this variety of materials is the first step in your yard transformation.
Clearing these items not only improves your yard’s appearance but also its safety, removing tripping hazards and potential homes for pests.
For small piles of leaves, a DIY approach might work. But for a full summer yard cleanup, Denver homeowners often find the job is bigger than they anticipated. You have to consider transportation, disposal fees, and your own time and physical effort. Here’s a quick comparison:
| Factor | DIY Cleanup | Professional Service (Junk Be Gone) |
|---|---|---|
| Time & Effort | Requires hours or a full weekend of hard physical labor. | Fast and efficient. Our team handles all lifting and loading in a fraction of the time. |
| Equipment | May require renting a truck, trailer, or specific tools. | We arrive with the right-sized truck and all necessary equipment. |
| Disposal | You must find the correct facilities, navigate their rules, and pay separate disposal fees. | We manage all disposal, prioritizing recycling and donations to minimize landfill waste. |
| Safety | Risk of back strain, cuts, or other injuries from lifting heavy or sharp items. | Our insured team is trained in safe lifting and removal techniques. |

Don’t let yard debris keep you from enjoying your summer. Create more space for what matters with fast, friendly, and eco-conscious service from Denver’s local experts.
We take almost all types of yard debris, including branches, leaves, grass clippings, old firewood, soil, sod, landscaping timbers, old fencing, and sheds. We also handle related items like broken patio furniture, old grills, planters, and even unwanted outdoor appliances.
No, you don’t. Our full-service junk removal includes all labor. Just show us where the debris is, and our crew will handle all the gathering, bagging, and loading. You don’t have to lift a finger.
City services are great for routine compostable material but often have strict limits on volume, size (no large branches), and types of waste (no soil, treated wood, or non-organic junk). Our service is designed for large-scale cleanups and can remove everything at once, including bulky items the city won’t take.
We are committed to eco-friendly practices. We take organic yard waste to the appropriate composting facilities to be turned into mulch or soil. Reusable items like furniture are sent to local donation centers, and other materials are sorted for recycling whenever possible. Our goal is to divert as much as we can from Denver landfills.
