Before winter sets in, here’s how to get your home and yard ready—and what to toss for good.
As the temperature drops and pumpkin spice fills the air, many homeowners in Lincoln start thinking about football, bonfires, and fall festivals. But autumn is also the perfect time to clear out the clutter—both inside and outside your home—before the snow flies and the holidays take over.
A fall cleanup isn’t just about raking leaves. It’s about wrapping up the year right: prepping your yard, closing out home projects, and saying goodbye to the junk you don’t want to drag into another season.
At Rocket Rolloff, we’ve helped Lincoln homeowners reclaim their garages, basements, and backyards year after year—and a roll-off dumpster makes it easier than ever.
Here’s your go-to checklist for fall cleanup in Lincoln—and what’s better off in a dumpster.
Lincoln’s fall foliage is beautiful… until it’s covering your lawn, clogging your gutters, and burying your flower beds.
💡 If you’re dealing with more than a few bags of yard debris, a small dumpster helps avoid piles at the curb and multiple trips to the landfill.
Cooler weather is perfect for finally tackling that garage or shed full of “someday” projects. If your snowblower is buried behind broken shelves, paint cans, and a busted grill, it’s time to reset.
For items like metal tools or broken lawn furniture, your dumpster is a fast and efficient solution—just make sure you review our accepted materials guide first.

Fall is the perfect season to declutter before the holidays hit. That means taking stock of what’s been collecting dust all summer—and deciding what really deserves a place in your home.
If you’re getting rid of bulkier items—like mattresses, recliners, or carpet scraps—a dumpster helps you clear space without waiting for city pickup or overloading your curb.
Fall is also prime time for small home improvement projects. Many Lincoln homeowners tackle:
These projects leave behind more waste than you’d expect—especially when you’re removing trim, tile, or drywall. With a dumpster on site, your cleanup becomes a breeze.
Just make sure to consider the weight of materials you’re tossing—especially when dealing with shingles, concrete, or wet debris. Our guide to dumpster weight limits can help you avoid surprise fees.
Fall cleanup generates a variety of debris—some perfect for a dumpster, and some that need special handling.
When in doubt, call your local waste facility—or reach out to us before loading.
For most residential fall cleanups, a 15-yard or 20-yard dumpster is ideal. If you’re doing a bigger project or cleaning out a large property, a 30-yard bin gives you the space you need to toss everything in one go.

The best part of fall is enjoying the fresh air, cozy evenings, and slowing down before the holiday chaos begins. But that’s hard to do when your garage is full of junk, your yard’s a mess, and every closet feels like a game of Tetris.
With a dumpster from Rocket Rolloff, fall cleanup becomes a weekend project, not a season-long chore. We’ll drop it off, you fill it up, and we’ll haul the mess away.
