Yard Waste Dumpster Rental
Most yard cleanups fit a 10 or 15 yard dumpster; large lot clearing or tree work may need a 20. Brush and branches are bulky, while sod, soil and stumps are heavy. Some areas restrict yard waste in landfills, so tell us what you're removing and we book a hauler that can take it.

Planning your yard waste dumpster
Bulky vs. heavy
Branches and brush take space but weigh little. Sod, soil, rock and stumps are heavy, so they call for a smaller container or a clean load.
Local yard-waste rules
Some states and cities keep yard waste out of landfills. The hauler may need it separated from other trash.
Cut it down
Cutting branches into shorter lengths packs them tighter and lets you fit more into the container.
Sizes for yard waste projects
