Yard debris removal prices in Winter Haven
First item / additional item
Contractor bag$69 / $20
The highest first-item price applies once. Every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Applicable sales tax is shown before payment.
City-serviced homes get weekly yard waste collection, and brush pickups take tree trimmings and other yard vegetation that is cut and bundled for collection.
City cost & eligibility
From $7.36 for published rate for each cubic yard above the first five free cubic yards in a single collection. City-serviced residential addresses inside city limits. Material must be acceptable yard waste, and oversized sections are not collected.
When & how
Set yard waste out with the routine collection, or schedule a brush pickup when the pile is larger than usual.
Get it ready
Cut trees into sections four feet or shorter, bag or bundle leaves and branches, and keep the pile within the free volume to avoid the additional cubic-yard charge.
Place containers at the curb or roadside by 7 a.m. on the collection day, away from mailboxes, hydrants and low branches, and keep them off sidewalks and storm drains. Yard waste follows the same collection day.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.
Two county routes serve Winter Haven addresses. The household hazardous waste facility on Environmental Loop takes chemicals and electronics from residents at no additional fee with a five-component limit, and the northeast convenience center takes bulky, yard and construction material, tires and scrap metal at flat residential rates with proof of residency. Polk County now routes residents away from the North Central Landfill and to its transfer station, so confirm the current drop-off location and hours before loading.
