What Lives in a Louisville Junk Pile (And Why Fall Is the Time to Clear It)

A junk pile in the yard is easy to ignore in July. By November, it has usually grown: branches, a broken chair, a mattress someone meant to move, pallets, bags that never made it to the curb. It is more than an eyesore.

Why an old pile turns into a pest problem

Old piles hold moisture and give rats, mosquitoes and termites a place to nest. Leaves and brush packed against a shed or fence keep wood wet. For a rental or a vacant house, that is how a small yard problem turns into a complaint, a pest issue or a property that looks untended.

We haul yard debris, junk and dumped items, and we can mow or tidy the lot after the pile is gone. We are $1M liability insured. On request, we send before-and-after photos for your file.

If a pile has been sitting since summer, this is a good week to deal with it, before the next stretch of wet, cold weather makes it heavier and harder to get to.
