Yard Waste Removal

When yard waste piles up

Spring is the big season. After snow melts, many yards have broken limbs, matted leaves, and dead plants to clear. Fall brings another wave when trees drop leaves and gardens are cut back. And any time of year, a landscaping project can create more debris than a weekly green waste can handle.

Many cities in Salt Lake and Utah County offer green waste cans or seasonal programs, which are great for regular trimmings. We help when the pile is bigger, bulkier, or includes things those programs do not accept, like fencing, playsets, or mixed debris.

Landscaping project cleanup

Replacing lawn with water-wise landscaping has become a common project across the Wasatch Front. That usually means old sod, roots, edging, and sometimes rock or pavers need to go. We can haul that debris after you or your landscaper pull it up, so the new project starts clean.

Heavy materials like soil, rock, and concrete fill a truck by weight before volume, so mention them in your request. They can affect pricing and how we load.

Pricing for yard waste removal

Yard waste is priced by how much space it takes in the truck, with adjustments for heavy materials and difficult access. Bagged leaves are quick to load. A tangle of thorny branches or a dismantled playset takes more time. We give you an upfront quote before work begins, and photos help us get it right.

Timing

Spring and fall are busy, so booking early helps. Same-day and next-day service may be available depending on the schedule, but all timing is subject to availability. If you have an HOA deadline or a landscaper starting on a certain date, let us know.

Green waste recycling

Clean green waste like branches, leaves, and clippings can often be composted or mulched at local green waste facilities. We take it there when possible instead of mixing it with general trash. Untreated wood fencing may also be recyclable. Treated or painted wood, plastic playsets, and mixed debris usually go to proper disposal. Usable outdoor items like planters, garden tools, or a sturdy playset may be donated when an organization is accepting them.

Where we offer yard waste removal

We provide yard waste removal throughout Salt Lake County and Utah County, from Salt Lake City, Millcreek, and West Valley City down through Sandy, Draper, and Herriman, and across the Utah County line into Lehi, American Fork, Orem, Provo, Spanish Fork, and Payson. If you are not sure whether your address is in our area, include your city or ZIP code in the quote form and we will confirm. Jobs farther from the center of the valley are easier to fit in with a little notice, so reach out as early as you can when you have a date in mind.
