Fall in Southern Utah means cooler mornings, changing leaves, and finally getting a break from the summer heat. It also means winter isn’t far behind.
If you’ve spent the summer looking at that pile in the garage, putting off a backyard cleanup, or telling yourself you’ll get to that home project “eventually,” fall is the perfect time to get it done.
And there’s one thing that can make the whole process a lot easier: having a dumpster ready for everything you need to get rid of.
Here are seven projects worth tackling before winter arrives in Cedar City and the surrounding Southern Utah area.
1. Take Back Your Garage
Be honest—can you actually park your car in your garage?
Garages have a way of becoming the place where everything goes when we don’t know what else to do with it. Old furniture, broken toys, boxes from the last move, leftover project materials and things we “we are definitely going to use again someday.”
A fall garage cleanout gives you a chance to sort through the clutter, get rid of what you no longer need and make room for vehicles, tools and winter gear.
And when you’re throwing away more than a couple of trash bags, having a dumpster nearby beats making trip after trip to dispose of everything yourself.
2. Clean Up the Yard
Southern Utah yards can take a beating during the summer.
Fall is a great time to clean up landscaping debris, remove unwanted outdoor items and get your property looking good before colder weather arrives.
It’s also a perfect opportunity to finally deal with those materials left over from summer landscaping projects.
Instead of creating a pile that sits beside the house until spring, get it cleaned up now.
3. Clear Out the Shed
You opened the shed looking for one thing.
Forty-five minutes later, you’re surrounded by broken tools, empty containers, old decorations and something you’re pretty sure hasn’t been touched since 2017.
Sound familiar?
Fall is a great time to empty the shed, decide what you actually use and get rid of the rest. You’ll thank yourself when spring rolls around and you can actually find what you’re looking for.
4. Finish Those Small Home Projects
Have a bathroom update, flooring project or small remodel you’ve been putting off?
Cooler fall temperatures can make this a great time to finish indoor projects around the house.
Unfortunately, home improvement projects tend to create a surprising amount of debris. Old flooring, cabinets, drywall and other materials can pile up quickly.
Having a dumpster on-site means you can clean as you work instead of letting debris take over your driveway or garage.
5. Get Rid of Old Outdoor Furniture
That patio chair with the broken leg isn’t going to fix itself.
Neither is the table that’s been sitting behind the shed for two years.
Before winter weather hits, take a look at your outdoor furniture and equipment. If something is broken, damaged or hasn’t been used in years, fall may be the perfect time to finally let it go.
Your backyard will look better, and you’ll have less clutter to deal with next spring.
6. Clean Out a Rental Property
properties Fall can also be a good time for Southern Utah property owners and landlords to clean out rental.
Tenant turnovers, abandoned belongings, damaged furniture and general cleanup can create much more waste than a normal household trash service is designed to handle.
Having a dumpster delivered directly to the property gives you one convenient place for the cleanup so you can focus on getting the property ready for what’s next.
7. Tackle the Project You’ve Been Avoiding
You know which one we’re talking about.
Every house seems to have one.
Maybe it’s the spare room filled with boxes. Maybe it’s the pile beside the garage. Maybe it’s an old playset, a storage area or years of accumulated stuff you’ve been meaning to sort through.
Sometimes the hardest part is simply getting started.
Set aside a weekend, get a dumpster delivered and start clearing it out. You might be surprised how much you can accomplish when you have somewhere convenient to put everything.
