Storm Clean-Up: Dealing With Green Waste After Wild Weather
The Central Coast cops some wild weather, and it leaves a mess. Here's how to handle the green waste clean-up.
By Matt from Lanky Services ·
Safety first
Watch for fallen powerlines, unstable branches and slippery debris. Leave anything near power lines to the professionals and do not overreach with the chainsaw.
Pile it and clear it
Drag branches, leaves and debris into one accessible spot as you go. Then one green waste removal takes the whole lot, no repeat trips to the tip.
We do the heavy hauling
Big branches and full-yard storm mess are heavy going. We bring the van and the muscle, load it all and recycle the green waste where we can.
