Prepare the Decorative Rocks for Removal
The first thing you’ll want to do is avoid making the decorative rocks undesirable for people who have a use for them. Try to keep the different types of decorative rocks separate as you remove them from their current resting place. For example, while most people will happily haul away piles of decorative rocks, they might be less likely to do so if they know they’ll have to separate tiny black polished pebbles from larger light-colored beach rocks.
Reach Out to Local Landscapers
Many landscapers are eager to pick up used decorative rocks because they know they’ll look as good as new ones in their customers’ landscaping plans. Make sure to let the landscaper know the type of decorative rocks you have available along with a general estimate of how many are ready for pickup. Some landscapers may offer to swap out the decorative rocks for other materials you can use, or they may offer hauling services as a neighborly amenity to help you avoid having to throw them away.
Check with Charitable Organizations
If you do a little checking around, you might discover more than a few organizations in your local area that are happy to receive high-quality landscaping materials. For example, charitable organizations that build houses for low-income families can use them to create yards that require minimal watering, which helps the people who move into the homes save money. Schools and other community organizations may also be happy to use decorative rocks such as white pebbles to create beautiful landscapes on their grounds.
Offer the Decorative Rocks to Nearby Neighbors
The versatility of landscaping rocks means other people in your neighborhood may also have a use for them. Putting an ad on your neighborhood app or in the local classifieds could provide you with a list of people who are willing to haul the decorative rocks away. When you create your ad, make sure to be clear about what you want. For instance, you might want to specify that you want all your decorative rocks gone at once or are putting them up for sale instead of offering them for free.
Make Arrangements for Trash Disposal
It’s rare to reach this point, but it’s possible to find yourself with a small pile of decorative rocks left over. In this case, you can typically make arrangements with a trash removal company to have the decorative rocks hauled away. Although there may be a small fee for this service, it’s usually affordable and offers you a convenient way to clear your home or business’s landscape.
