Yard Debris Removal From a Seattle Crew
Seattle yards don’t stay clean on their own. Between the wet winters that turn leaf piles into 200-pound mats, the blackberry vines that come back every spring with a vengeance, and the windstorms that drop fir branches across your driveway — yard waste is a year-round battle in the Pacific Northwest.
Your city green bin handles the small stuff. But when you’ve got a backyard full of storm debris, a mountain of brambles you just hacked down, or 2,000 pounds of dirt from a landscaping project — that’s when you call us.
Junk B Gone has been clearing Seattle yards since 1989. We show up with the right truck, the right crew, and the right gear — rain or shine. We load everything, sweep the area clean, and haul your yard waste to Cedar Grove Composting in King County, where it becomes nutrient-rich compost instead of sitting in a landfill.

Empty-nester yard? See our dedicated swing set removal service.
What Your Green Bin Can't Handle
What the City Takes
- ✓ Small branches (under 4 feet)
- ✓ Leaves and grass clippings
- ✓ 60 lbs max per container
- ✓ Must fit in your green bin
What We Take
- ★ Entire blackberry thickets
- ★ Stumps and root balls
- ★ Dirt, sod, and gravel
- ★ Fallen trees and storm debris
- ★ Construction lumber mixed with yard waste
- ★ No weight limits. No size limits.
This is what "too much for the green bin" looks like.
Green waste, lawn waste, landscape debris
People call it different things. We take all of it, with no weight limit.
-
Green waste
Branches, hedge trimmings, brambles, ivy, leaves and pine needles.
-
Lawn waste
Rolled sod, thatch, and grass clippings by the pile, not the bag.
-
Landscape debris
What a landscaping job leaves: rock, pavers, edging, timbers and dirt.
-
Storm debris
Downed limbs and broken fencing after a windstorm.
-
Stumps and root balls
The arborist cut it down and left it. We haul it.
-
Dirt, gravel and concrete
Heavy loads welcome. They price at the upper end of each range.
Yard debris prices
What yard waste removal costs
We price by how much of the truck your pile fills. A pickup-truck bed of branches is about 1/8 of our truck.
| Load size | Price range | What that looks like |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum (1–2 items) | $99 | A few bags of leaves or one stump |
| 1/8 truck | $150–$250 | A pickup-bed pile of branches |
| 1/4 truck | $225–$350 | A hedge row pulled out |
| 1/2 truck | $385–$550 | A blackberry thicket cleared |
| 3/4 truck | $485–$685 | |
| Full truck | $685–$885 | A whole backyard reclaimed |
Plus the 3.6% Washington refuse tax. Heavy loads like dirt, concrete and lumber land at the upper end. Tires are $10–$40 each and paint is $10 a gallon. There are no other per-item fees. We give you the exact price on site before we start. Say yes and we load it that visit; say no and you owe nothing.
A rental yard, cleared between tenants
A Seattle property manager needed the yard of a rental cleared before the next tenant moved in. We loaded the brush and debris, raked the beds and swept the walk.
After: raked, swept and ready for the next tenant.
Storm cleanup and big yard debris jobs
After a windstorm the green bin fills in a day and the rest stays on the lawn: fir limbs, torn-up shrubs, broken fence panels. Text us a photo of the pile and we'll tell you roughly how much of the truck it fills and what that range costs.
Our truck beds run 12 to 16 feet long, 8 feet wide and 5 feet tall. We carry the debris out from wherever it sits, including the back corner of the lot. A long carry or a heavy pile of dirt or sod lands at the upper end of the price range, and we tell you that before we start.
Crews work Monday through Saturday, and we answer the phone seven days a week. For damage to the house or fence, see storm damage cleanup. For branches you'd rather handle yourself, our tree branch disposal guide covers the city options.
We Know Seattle Yards
We’ve cleared blackberry thickets in Ballard that hadn’t been touched in a decade. Hauled storm debris from windblown hemlocks in Issaquah. Dug out yards in West Seattle where the previous owners let the ivy take over everything.
Seattle’s wet winters make yard waste heavy and messy. A pile of leaves in November turns into a sodden, 200-lb mat by February. Storm debris after a January windstorm blocks driveways and crushes fences. We show up in rain gear, load it all, and leave your yard clean — even when the ground is a swamp.
Everything we haul gets sorted. Green waste goes to Cedar Grove Composting, right here in King County, where it’s turned into nutrient-rich compost instead of sitting in a landfill. Heavier loads — dirt, concrete, construction debris — go to Bow Lake or Shoreline Transfer Stations, both operated by Seattle Public Utilities and King County Solid Waste. Lumber gets recycled. We know which facility takes what, so nothing ends up in the wrong place.
Don't spend your weekend hauling loads to the transfer station. One call and we handle everything.
We rake the area, sweep the driveway, and leave your yard looking like a yard again.
We take the heavy stuff your green bin can't handle — dirt, sod, gravel, stumps, and wet debris.
Same-day service is often available. We work rain or shine — this is Seattle, after all.
All-inclusive pricing. No hidden fees. The quote we give is the price you pay.
Common Yard Waste We Haul in Seattle
From spring cleanups to storm damage, here's what Seattle homeowners call us for most:
Blackberry Brambles
The thorniest job in the PNW. We cut, pull, and haul them.
Fallen Branches
Fir, cedar, hemlock — too big for the bin, too heavy to move.
Dead Shrubs & Hedges
Ripped out and gone in one visit.
Dirt, Sod & Gravel
Not technically "green waste" — but we haul it all the same. Dirt, sod, rocks, concrete pavers. No weight limits.
Storm Debris
Downed trees, broken fences, scattered branches.
Fencing & Lumber
Rotting wood, broken trellises, landscape timbers.
Leaves & Pine Needles
Way more than your green bin can hold.
Stumps & Root Balls
Arborist left the stump? We'll haul it.
Ivy & Invasive Vines
Pulled out before they take over again.
No Weight Limits
Dirt, sod, gravel, wet leaves — we take it all. Your green bin has a 60-lb limit. Our trucks don't.
We Rake and Sweep
We don't just haul the pile. We rake the area, sweep the driveway, and leave your yard looking like a yard again.
Same-Day Service
Same-day pickup is often available; call to check. Don't wait for the next municipal pickup day.
Cedar Grove, Not Landfill
Your yard waste goes to Cedar Grove Composting in King County — turned into compost, not buried in a landfill.

Why Seattle Homeowners Choose Us
We’ve been clearing Seattle yards since 1989. In that time, we’ve learned that what homeowners really want is simple: show up when you say you will, do the work without being asked twice, clean up after yourself, and charge a fair price.
That’s what we do. Every job. No exceptions.
We’re not a franchise with an 800 number and crews that rotate every week. We’re your neighbors — a local Seattle company with the same crews you’ll see every time. We know which transfer stations take what, we know Cedar Grove’s hours, and we know that a “small pile” in a Magnolia backyard usually turns out to be three truck loads once you start digging.
Our pricing is transparent and all-inclusive. The quote we give you covers labor, loading, hauling, and disposal. No surprise fees when we find out the debris is heavier than expected.
Don't Wait for a Sunny Day
Seattle doesn't do "yard waste season." It's year-round — and each season brings its own mess.
Spring
Everything grows at once. Blackberry vines roar back, dead winter growth needs clearing, and landscaping projects generate piles of dirt and sod.
Summer
The one dry window to tackle the big stuff. Tree trimming, hedge removal, fence teardowns. Get it done while the ground is firm.
Fall
Leaves. So many leaves. Seattle's mature trees drop more than any green bin can handle. November is peak — the city offers free extra pickup, but if you've got more than 10 bags, call us.
Winter
Storm season. Windblown branches, downed trees, debris scattered across driveways. We show up in rain gear and get it done.
Our crews work rain or shine. We're used to the Seattle drizzle.

More Than Just Green Waste
Your yard cleanup often uncovers more than just branches and leaves. We haul items that have been sitting in backyards for years:
★
Old lawn mowers — gas or electric, riding or push
★
Wheelbarrows & garden carts
★
Rotting sheds & playsets
★
Hot tub shells — one of our specialties
★
Old fencing & landscape timbers
★
Concrete pavers & retaining walls
★
Above ground pools: walls, liner and frame
★
Old RVs and campers: see junk RV removal
If it's in your yard and you want it gone, we'll take it. Call (206) 722-4285 or text us a photo for a quick quote.
