Fall Cleanouts in Yavapai County: Prepping Your Property for Winter
As the summer heat fades and cooler temperatures roll into Northern Arizona, fall is the perfect time to declutter your home, clean up your yard, and get your property ready for winter.
At Copper State Junk Removal & Hauling, we help homeowners across Prescott, Prescott Valley, Chino Valley, and surrounding areas take advantage of the fall season to tackle cleanout projects before the weather turns cold.
Why Fall Cleanouts Matter in Yavapai County
Unlike other parts of Arizona, Yavapai County actually experiences winter—with freezing temperatures, snow, and plenty of wind. A fall cleanout not only helps you stay organized but also protects your home and property from damage caused by the elements.
Fall is ideal for:
Clearing yard waste and brush to reduce fire risk
Emptying garages or storage units before holiday clutter sets in
Getting rid of junk before snow or freezing temps make access harder
Prepping homes for guests, holiday hosting, or winter rentals
What to Focus On During a Fall Cleanout
Yard Debris & Brush
Even after wildfire season ends, dried-out vegetation poses a serious risk. Fall is a great time to:
Cut back overgrowth
Remove dead branches and leaves
Haul away piles of brush or logs

Garages & Outbuildings
Cooler weather = better working conditions. Take this time to:
Remove old tools, broken gear, or unused bins
Reorganize holiday decor storage
Get rid of junk you don’t want to store all winter
Inside the House
Donate or toss items you didn’t use all summer
Create space before bringing in winter clothes, decorations, or guests
Clear out cluttered closets, pantries, or playrooms
Tip: If you plan to donate items before year-end, fall is the best time to do it. We can help transport donations to local charities in Prescott and Prescott Valley.
