Yard cleanout — one-time debris and outdoor junk pickup

Bagged leaves and debris, bundled branches, tired patio furniture, the grill that's done — stage it at the curb and it's gone same-day. This is a one-time haul-away, not a lawn service: you do the yard work, we make the pile disappear.

How it works

1

Do the yard work, make the pile

Bag the debris, bundle the branches, drag out the retired patio set. We're the haul-away at the end, not the crew that rakes.

2

Stage it at the curb

Everything in one spot at the curb or driveway. Book by 2 PM and it's picked up the same day.

3

Photo when it's gone

Usually within about 3 hours of your pile being out, with a photo confirmation text the moment the curb is clear.

How to stage a yard cleanout

Yard work day

  • Bag leaves, clippings, and loose debris in sturdy yard bags — each bag is $19–$39
  • Cut branches to arm-length pieces and tie them into bundles a person can carry
  • Round up the outdoor junk: broken patio furniture, dead grills, cracked planters, old hoses

Exclusions to pull aside

  • Remove the propane tank from any grill — we can't take propane tanks
  • No tires, paint, or hazardous chemicals like pesticides — your city's drop-off program handles those
  • Check local rules if you're near a burn-ban or green-waste program; some cities collect bagged leaves free (on their schedule)

Pickup day

  • Stack bags, bundles, and items together at the curb or end of the driveway
  • Book by 2 PM with your counts — exact total shows before you pay
  • No need to be home; the photo confirmation text lands when it's gone
