It is important to clean you gutters at least once a year. Clogged gutters can cause a lot of water damage and pose a fire risk. When cleaning the gutters it is important to use a sturdy ladder that is the correct length. If your latter is not long enough, ask a neighbor to borrow theirs. Make sure the ladder is on a flat sturdy surface and the angle is correct. It is also important to have a spotter with you whenever you are on a ladder. Choose a calm, dry day and use a bucket to put the waste into. You can hook the bucket to the latter using an strong S-hook if needed. Don't reach too far to the left or right, just move the ladder as needed. While you are up there, it is also a good time to hang the Christmas lights. Just be careful, work slowly, and don't take any unnecessary risks. Too many people are hurt or even killed while cleaning the gutters. You can always hire a professional.
