Junk removal
Yard Debris & Waste Removal
Yard projects produce debris at a rate no curbside bin can absorb. One weekend of pruning creates a brush mountain; one storm creates a scattered mess of limbs; one fence replacement leaves a stack of posts and panels with nowhere to go. Junk Rhinos hauls yard debris straight from where it fell or where you piled it. No bagging, no bundling, no feeding branches into a bin one week at a time.

What we take
We collect from wherever it sits: backyard, side yard, curb line, or the pile behind the garage that was temporary two summers ago.
- Branches, limbs, and tree trimmings, including pieces too large for curbside programs
- Brush, shrubs, and hedge clippings
- Leaves, grass clippings, and garden waste
- Old fencing, posts, and rotted deck boards
- Storm debris: downed limbs, scattered branches, wind-blown yard mess
- Bagged yard waste you already collected, bags and all
- Old sheds' worth of contents, planters, and outdoor odds and ends
Straight talk
Heavy materials: talk to us first
Soil, rocks, gravel, sod, and concrete are a different kind of load. They are dense, disposal facilities charge for them by weight, and truck safety limits how much can ride at once. We can often take them, but quantity matters, so mention them when you request your estimate and the crew will confirm what works during the free on-site review. Railroad ties belong on the same list: they are heavy for their size, so tell us how many there are. Springing a pallet of pavers on the crew as a surprise is the one way to slow down an otherwise fast day.
After the storm
Storm cleanup is yard debris removal with a deadline. When wind or ice drops limbs across your yard, we gather, cut down to loadable size where needed, and haul, clearing the mess in one visit. Same-day and next-day availability in most areas matters most on exactly these days; call early after a storm, since those slots go first.
Yard jobs we haul most often
Beyond storm weeks, most yard pickups come from one of these.
The tree crew left the wood
Many tree services quote cutting and hauling separately, and plenty of homeowners find out after the saws go quiet. Logs, rounds and brush from a tree that is already down are exactly our kind of load. We do not cut standing trees.
The pile behind the shed
Years of clippings, leaves and pruned branches that were going to be composted eventually. Summer cleanups overflow the green bin in a single afternoon. Loose brush compresses in the truck, so these piles usually quote lower than they look.
Play equipment nobody plays on
A rusted swing set, a trampoline with a torn mat, a wooden playhouse gone soft at the corners. The crew takes these apart on the lawn and carries out the pieces. Pressure-treated wood follows the wood-waste route, since it cannot be composted or mulched.
The fence came down
Wind takes a fence, or a new one goes in and the installer leaves the old panels stacked by the gate. We take panels, posts and rails. Concrete footings are a weight question, so mention them when you request the estimate.
Landscaping leftovers
Old landscape timbers after a switch to stone edging, pulled shrubs, cracked planters, a broken fountain, a pond liner, the half pallet of pavers nobody used. Timbers, shrubs and planters are routine. Sod, soil, pavers and stone are heavy materials, handled as described above: tell us the quantity first.
A pile that is attracting the wrong attention
Rotting firewood against the foundation invites termites. A junk pile in the side yard shelters rodents and holds standing water. Sometimes the attention is human: a neighbor, an HOA letter, an insurance inspector who wants debris moved away from the house. One visit removes the pile and the argument.
Someone else's trash on your land
Illegally dumped furniture and bags along a property line or road frontage are, unfairly, the owner's problem. We remove them. Dumped tires can go on the same truck. If the load includes chemicals or containers of unknown liquid, those fall under our hazardous materials exclusion and need your local authority's guidance.
A date on the calendar
An open house, a backyard wedding, a graduation party, an RV that needs the side yard. When the yard has to look finished by a specific day, book a day or two ahead and the crew rakes up the strays as part of the job.
Taking down sheds, decks and small structures
Some yard jobs start with a structure that is still standing. This is light demolition: the crew takes it down, breaks it into loads and hauls every piece in the same visit. Any electrical or water line running to it has to be disconnected by a licensed trade first, the same rule we follow for appliances and hot tubs. Debris from bigger renovation work is covered under construction debris removal.
Sheds
Wood, metal and resin sheds, empty or still full. The contents go on the same truck and are sorted for donation and recycling like any other cleanout.
Decks
Rotted boards, railings, stairs and framing. Concrete footings and pads count as heavy materials, so mention them with the estimate request.
Carports and greenhouses
Metal carport frames, greenhouse frames and their panels come down and leave together. Metal is recycled where possible.
Chicken coops
Old coops, runs and the fencing around them. Move the birds out first, and the crew takes the rest.
How yard debris removal works
Describe the pile or send a photo; "about two pickup beds of branches" is a perfectly good description
Pick a window that fits, same-day and next-day in most areas.
The crew reviews the load in person and confirms a firm, all-in price, free

We load everything, rake the loose ends, and you pay when the yard is clear.
Where green waste goes
Green waste is one of the most recyclable loads we carry. Branches, brush, and leaves go to composting and mulching facilities wherever they operate, turning your yard mess into someone's garden bed. Fencing and treated lumber follow the wood-waste route instead, since treated wood cannot be composted. Whatever cannot be processed locally is disposed of properly.
What does yard debris removal cost?
Volume pricing, same as every service: the space your debris fills in the truck sets the price. Loose brush compresses, so a scary-looking pile often quotes better than expected. Dense loads like soil or rock can affect the price because facilities charge by weight, which is exactly why the crew confirms everything face to face before starting. See the pricing page for the tier logic.
- Priced by the truck space your load fills
- Firm, all-in price confirmed free on-site
- No deposit, and nothing owed until it is done
- Labor, hauling and disposal fees all included
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to bag leaves or bundle branches?
No. Point at the pile. Gathering, bundling, and loading are what you are hiring us to skip.
Can you take large limbs and whole small trees?
Yes, downed limbs and felled small trees included; we cut them to loadable size on-site. We haul what is already down rather than doing tree work: cutting standing trees is an arborist's trade.
Do you take dirt, rocks, or concrete?
Often yes in moderate quantities, always with a conversation first. Tell us in advance, and the on-site estimate will settle it before any work begins.
How fast can you come after a storm?
Same-day or next-day in most areas, weather permitting. Storm weeks are our busiest, so the earlier you call, the better the slot.
What happens to the green waste?
Composting or mulching wherever facilities exist; it is the disposal route we always try first for organic material.
Will you clean up the scattered bits, not just the pile?
Yes. The crew rakes and gathers the strays so the yard looks finished, not just emptier.
The tree service cut the tree but left the logs. Can you haul them?
Yes. Logs, rounds and brush that are already on the ground are standard loads. Very large rounds are cut to loadable size on-site.
Do you take swing sets, trampolines and playhouses?
Yes. The crew dismantles them in the yard and hauls every piece.
Someone dumped trash on my property. Can you remove it?
Yes, for ordinary junk such as furniture, bags and debris. Hazardous materials in a dumped load are excluded, and your local authority can advise on those.
Do you take old railroad ties?
Yes. Ties are heavy, so give us a count when you request the estimate, and the crew will confirm the load during the on-site review.
Can you tear down an old shed or deck?
Yes. Sheds, decks, carports, greenhouses and chicken coops are light demolition jobs that we take down and haul in the same visit. Utility lines to the structure must be disconnected by a licensed trade first, and the firm price is confirmed on-site.
