Yard Waste Removal in Atlanta, GA
Between severe summer storms, the annual leaf drop from the massive Atlanta tree canopy, and the constant cycle of landscaping projects, yard waste piles up fast across Metro Atlanta. West Atlanta Junk Removal hauls away branches, brush, stumps, leaves, grass clippings, dirt, sod, old fencing, and just about any other yard debris you need gone. We load everything ourselves and dispose of it properly, so you do not have to rent a trailer or make multiple trips to the dump.
Yard Waste We Pick Up
We handle all types of yard waste and outdoor debris. That includes tree branches and limbs, brush and shrub trimmings, stumps (already cut or pulled), leaf bags, grass clippings, dirt and fill, old sod, rocks and gravel, landscape timbers, railroad ties, old fencing (wood, chain link, vinyl), deck boards, and other outdoor materials. If it came from your yard, there is a good chance we can haul it away. The only items we cannot take are materials that have been treated with hazardous chemicals or substances that require special environmental handling.
Storm Debris Cleanup in Atlanta
Atlanta sits in a region that sees its share of severe weather. Summer thunderstorms regularly bring down branches and sometimes entire trees. Ice storms in winter can cause widespread damage to the canopy, especially in older neighborhoods like Grant Park, West End, and Cascade where mature trees line the streets. When storms leave debris in your yard, driveway, or on your roof line, we can get there quickly to clear it out. We work with homeowners, HOAs, and property managers to clean up storm damage efficiently. If you are dealing with storm debris, call (470) 934-4978 and we will prioritize your job.
Yard Waste Disposal and Green Recycling
Yard waste is one of the most recyclable categories of debris. Branches, leaves, grass, and wood are organic materials that can be composted, mulched, or processed at green waste facilities. We take yard debris to composting and mulching facilities in the Metro Atlanta area rather than dumping it all in a general landfill. Large branches and tree limbs are often chipped into mulch. Leaves and grass are composted. Clean wood from old fencing or decking is separated and processed accordingly. This approach keeps organic material in the recycling loop and out of landfills where it would generate methane as it decomposes.
Why Atlanta Homeowners Need Yard Waste Removal
Atlanta is one of the most heavily treed cities in the country, and that means constant yard maintenance. The city offers limited yard waste pickup through residential waste services, but there are restrictions on volume, bag counts, and the size of branches they will accept. Many homeowners find that after a big pruning job, a landscaping project, or a storm, they have far more yard waste than the city will take in a single pickup cycle. That is where we come in. We have no volume limits — if it fits in our truck or takes multiple loads, we will get it done. We are especially useful for larger jobs like full yard cleanups after renovations, fence replacements, or tree service work. Neighborhoods like Cascade and Buckhead with large, wooded lots generate especially heavy yard waste volumes during the spring and fall seasons. And with the long Atlanta growing season stretching from March through November, yard waste removal is a year-round need for most homeowners.
Yard Waste Removal for Contractors and Landscapers
We also work with landscaping companies, tree service crews, and general contractors who need yard waste and outdoor debris hauled from job sites. If your crew handles the cutting and we handle the hauling, it keeps your team focused on the work and saves you from tying up your own trucks and trailers. We offer flexible scheduling and competitive pricing for commercial accounts with recurring yard waste removal needs. Call (470) 934-4978 to discuss your project or set up ongoing service.
Pricing Note
Yard waste removal pricing is volume-based. A small pile of bagged leaves costs less than a full yard cleanup with tree limbs and brush. Sending us a photo of the pile helps us give you the most accurate quote. Call (470) 934-4978 for a free estimate.
