Junk removal here means yard debris, not a house clean-out. Most loads run $150–$600. The low end is a partial load of trimmed branches or a modest pile of yard waste. The high end is a full truck of old sod, rock, or storm debris. If the haul rides along with a tree or lawn visit that is already scheduled, the price usually comes down, because there is no separate trip. That is a range, not a bid.
The calls are piles, not attics. Storm-snapped branches, palm fronds, a dead shrub bed, old sod pulled for a re-sod, leftover river rock, mulch, and edging from a previous attempt at the yard. A side yard that needs to be usable again is the same kind of work. A garage full of furniture is not the job this crew is set up for.
What we haul, and what we do not
Yard and landscape material is the load: branches, fronds, downed limbs, old sod, dead shrubs, small trees that are already out of the ground, and leftover rock or mulch. Small amounts of old fencing or deck boards mixed into a yard cleanup can go. A remodel or a demolition, the kind of debris that needs a construction dumpster, is not the service. If that is the pile, you need a hauler who runs dumpsters. We will say so.
Volume and what the material is are how the range gets narrowed. A partial load of light brush is the low end. Wet sod, rock, and a truck that is full are the high end, because the weight and the disposal are different. After a named storm, the pricing method stays the same and the loads get bigger. Disposal sites also slow down, so a storm pile often costs more simply because there is more of it and the dump takes longer. We do not add a made-up storm surcharge on this page. The quote names the load.
County curbside pickup is a separate system, and it changes after a storm. Schedules back up, and special debris rules vary by block. Sometimes the right move is for us to haul to the transfer station instead of leaving a pile that will sit for weeks. Sometimes the county is already collecting and the pile should stay at the curb. We coordinate around what is actually happening. We do not haul during a collection ban as if the ban were a suggestion. Timing is the subject of the post-storm cleanup guide.
What a load looks like from the curb
A partial load, the low end of $150–$600, is a pickup-sized pile of dry branches, a row of fronds, or the cuttings from a modest trim. A full load, the high end, is wet sod rolled and stacked, a collapsed shrub bed, or rock and mulch that has sat since the last person "fixed" the yard. Weight matters as much as height. A small mountain of river rock is a different dump ticket from a tall pile of dry brush that weighs almost nothing. Storm piles mix both, and they get expensive because disposal slows down, not because we rename the service. If the pile includes a refrigerator, household trash, or the remains of a remodel, say so in the first photo. We will tell you to call a dumpster company for that part.
The cheaper version is the pile that leaves on a day we are already in the driveway. A tree trim, a removal, a sod tear-out, or a mowing visit that was going to happen anyway means the truck is not making a special trip from North Port for one heap of fronds. Standalone is allowed. It is just a trip, and trips are why the same pile can move up the range. Send two photos: one of the whole pile with something for scale, and one close enough to see whether it is brush, sod, or rock. Tell us if a crew is already booked. We estimate the load, give you the range narrowed to that pile, and schedule the haul. We do not need a room-by-room inventory. This is the yard.
If the pile is mixed with a tree that is still attached to the ground, you have two jobs. The standing tree is removal or trimming. The loose pile is this service. We can do them the same day and the haul gets cheaper because the truck is there, but the quotes stay separate so a "just the brush" request does not accidentally include a chainsaw. Old sod waiting on a resod is a classic load, heavy and wet, and it belongs at the high end more often than a bundle of dry limbs. Tell us which. A photo with the garage door or a truck in frame beats a close-up of leaves. We price what we can see, then we confirm on site if the pile is bigger than the picture.
Cheaper when we are already there
The efficient version of this job is the one attached to work we are already doing. If the crew is trimming, removing a tree, or pulling sod, the truck is in the driveway. A standalone haul is fine. It is just a separate trip, and separate trips are why the same pile can sit higher in the range. Photos of the pile, and a note about whether a mowing or tree visit is already booked, are enough to start the estimate.
Send the photo or describe the pile. You get a price range from the load, then a scheduled haul. The service page is junk removal.
Frequently asked
How much does yard debris removal cost?
Most loads run $150–$600. A partial load of branches is the low end. A full truck of old sod, rock, or storm debris is the high end. Bundling it with a visit already scheduled usually costs less.
Do you take furniture or construction debris?
This service is yard and landscape material. Small pieces of fencing or decking mixed into a yard pile can go. A remodel or a demolition needs a construction dumpster, which we do not run.
Is storm debris priced differently?
The method is the same: volume and what the material is. Storm jobs often cost more because the piles are larger and disposal sites are slower right after an event.
Can you haul the pile without doing other work?
Yes. Standalone junk removal is fine. It is more common, and usually less expensive, when it shares a trip with tree or lawn work already on the calendar.
