Holiday Clean-Up Made Easy: Top Junk Removal Tips Post-Festivities

The holiday season is a time for celebration, family, and fun—but once the festivities wrap up, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the post-holiday mess. Wrapping paper, unused decorations, and empty gift boxes can quickly pile up, leaving you with a big clean-up task ahead. At Harding Disposal, we know how hectic the days after the holidays can be, and we’re here to help make the process smoother and less stressful. Here are some easy tips to help you tackle your post-holiday clean-up efficiently, so you can start the New Year off with a fresh, clutter-free space.

Sort and Categorize Your Holiday Waste

The first step in any successful clean-up is organization. Start by sorting your holiday waste into three simple categories: recycling, donations, and trash. This will help you clear out the clutter while also being mindful of what can be reused or repurposed.

• Recycling: Think cardboard boxes, wrapping paper (as long as it’s not glittery or foil), and certain plastics. If in doubt, check your local recycling guidelines.
• Donations: Holiday decorations or gifts that are gently used and still in good condition can make a difference in someone else’s holiday season. Consider donating to local shelters or charities.
• Trash: Broken or unusable items, such as torn wrapping paper, damaged lights, or worn-out decorations, should be responsibly disposed of.

Make an Environmental Impact with Recycling

Recycling is one of the easiest and most impactful ways to reduce waste after the holidays. Take the time to separate recyclable materials and place them in the appropriate bins. If you’re unsure about what can be recycled, Harding Disposal is happy to help guide you through local recycling rules. Plus, we offer metal recycling services to ensure that even your toughest-to-recycle items get a second life.

Handle Holiday Decorations with Care

Holiday decorations can create quite a bit of clutter once the season is over. Start by going through your collection and discarding anything that’s damaged beyond repair. For items that can be used again next year, organize them for easy storage. If you have a real Christmas tree, check to see if your town offers a tree recycling program. If not, don’t worry—Harding Disposal can help with the removal of large items like trees, wreaths, or other bulky decorations.

Use Bin Rentals for Larger Clean-Ups

Sometimes, the amount of post-holiday waste can be overwhelming, especially if you’ve been doing some home renovation projects or have a lot of extra packaging to deal with. In those cases, renting a bin can save you time and hassle. Harding Disposal offers a variety of bin sizes to suit your needs, whether you’re clearing out holiday clutter or tackling bigger clean-up projects. Simply fill the bin with your waste, and we’ll take care of the rest!

Organize and Optimize Your Space

The post-holiday period is the perfect time to rethink your space. After clearing out the clutter, take a moment to reorganize. Whether it’s finding a better way to store your holiday decorations, organizing your cleaning supplies, or simply decluttering living areas, it’s a great opportunity to create systems that will keep your home tidy throughout the year. A little time spent reorganizing now can save you a lot of stress later!

Dispose of Electronics Responsibly

The holiday season often brings new gadgets and electronics into homes, which means old devices may need to be disposed of. It’s important to remember that electronic waste, or e-waste, should never be thrown in the trash due to harmful components. Instead, look for green disposal options like e-waste recycling. Harding Disposal can help you responsibly recycle your old electronics, so you can feel good about reducing your environmental impact.
