Yard Cleanup and Mixed Demo Hauling.

Pure brush and leaves go to your town's transfer station brush pile (usually free or cheap). We come in when there's old fence, deck pieces, shed walls, or other lumber mixed with the yard material.

What we do and don't take.

Pure organic yard waste (brush, branches, leaves, lawn clippings, sod, stumps, firewood) isn't something we generally take in our dumpsters. Your town's transfer station has a brush pile that's usually free or cheap, and that's the right destination for clean yard material.

We're a fit when the yard project also produces non-yard material: old fence posts coming out, deck boards from a tear-down, shed walls from a demo, pressure-treated lumber, anything with hardware or paint on it. Mixed loads like that get classified as construction debris and we'll take them.

How to think about the mix.

If 90% of your pile is brush from clearing the property and 10% is old fence posts, two trips usually makes more sense than one. The brush is free at the transfer station; the demo material comes with us.

If most of the pile is demo material (deck tear-down, shed demolition, fence replacement) with some brush from clearing around it, that's one job and we'll quote it.

Heavy material warning.

Whatever's in the load, weight matters more than volume for outdoor projects. Wet sod runs about a thousand pounds per pickup truck bed. Dirt and stone are heavier still. Pressure-treated lumber is dense. Our dumpsters and truckloads come with weight allowances, and going over carries an overage fee. Describe what's in the pile when you call.

What doesn't go in (even with demo material).

Loose dirt, gravel, and stone don't go in our dumpsters. Asbestos doesn't. Liquid paint, motor oil, and other hazardous materials don't. Pure pressure-treated lumber can go in a construction debris dumpster.

Brush, leaves, and yard waste in paper bags piled along a stone wall outside a white colonial home in southern NH, ready for pickup.

Common questions.

Do you take pure brush and leaves?

Generally no. Your town's transfer station has a brush pile (usually free or cheap) that's the right destination for pure organic yard waste. We come in when there's lumber, fence material, or shed/deck debris mixed in.

What about pressure-treated lumber from an old deck?

Yes. Old deck material, fence boards, shed walls, and similar lumber fall under construction debris and we take it. Brush mixed in from the same project is fine.

Do you take dirt and stone?

No. Loose dirt, gravel, stone, and sod have their own disposal channels. Not something we take.

Stumps and root balls?

No. Pure organic wood isn't something we take. Stumps go to your town's transfer station or a tree service.

Can a dumpster sit on the lawn?

It can, but ground conditions matter. Soft or wet lawn under a loaded roll-off can leave ruts. A flat, firm driveway is the safer pick when one's available. Mention the placement options when you book.
