Yard debris is one of the most common hauling jobs we handle. It's also one of the easiest to get wrong — municipal pickup rules vary, some haulers won't touch stumps, and weight matters more than volume with wet vegetation.
What counts as yard debris?
- Tree branches, palm fronds, and brush
- Grass clippings, leaves, mulch, and sod
- Storm-blown fencing and roof scrap (mixed loads)
- Small stumps under 8" diameter (bigger ones require special quotes)
Why professional hauling beats a dump run
Yard debris is heavy when it's wet. A single pickup truck full can easily hit 1,500 lbs — and most dumps charge $50–$80 per ton on top of the gate fee. A professional hauler carries the disposal cost in the quote so you know the total upfront.
Storm cleanup — call early
After hurricanes and tropical storms, crews book solid for 2–3 weeks. If a storm is forecast, request a quote before it hits — we can pre-schedule you for the first available slot.
