Yard Debris Removal in Solano County, CA
The Pile in the Side Yard Doesn't Have to Stay There.
Branches, brush, trimmings and bagged clippings pile up faster than a green bin can take them. Send a photo of the pile and tell us roughly how big it is — that's usually enough to get started.

Three things that size a green load

- 3Whether it's loose or bagged
Stand back far enough that the whole pile fits in the photo — close-ups make piles look smaller than they are.

When Green Waste Outgrows the Green Bin
One weekend of pruning can produce more material than a month of curbside pickup will take. Trim a few overgrown shrubs, take down a dead limb, or clear a fence line and suddenly there's a pile that isn't going anywhere.
It sits there through the next season, dries out, attracts pests and takes up the part of the yard you actually wanted to use.
Show us the pile and we'll tell you what removing it looks like.
- More material than the green bin holds
- Branches too long to fit or bundle
- Piles left after pruning or a tree service
- Bags that never made it to the curb
- Debris after wind or storm damage
- Old landscaping torn out during a redo
What we take
What Counts as Yard Debris?
- Branches and limbs
- Brush and cuttings
- Leaves and needles
- Hedge and shrub trimmings
- Grass clippings
- Small logs
- Pulled shrubs and root balls
- Bagged yard waste
- Landscaping debris
- Storm-downed limbs
- Old wood fencing
- Mixed yard and household junk
Dirt, soil, sod, concrete, rock and landscaping chemicals are not automatically accepted. If your pile includes any of those, ask first — don't assume it can go.
A Photo of the Pile Beats Any Description.
Volume is the main thing that sets a green waste price, and nobody estimates volume accurately in words. One wide shot of the pile with something familiar in frame — a fence, a can, a doorway — gives us a real sense of scale.
- The full pile from a distance
- Anything unusually long or heavy
- Bags, if the material is bagged
- The path from the pile to the street
Process
How Yard Debris Pickup Works
- 1
Show Us the Pile
A wide photo, roughly what's in it and where it sits on the property.

We Size the Load
Volume, material type, weight and access get reviewed together.

We Clear It Out
Once arranged, the debris is loaded and hauled and the yard opens up.
Loose, Bagged, Green or Mixed
Not every yard pile is the same kind of load. Loose brush takes up a lot of space for its weight. Bagged clippings stack neatly but hide what's inside. Wet soil and stumps are heavy in a way branches never are.
Mixed piles are common too — green waste with a broken planter, an old grill and a bag of household junk in the middle. That's fine, but it's worth mentioning, because the load may be handled as general junk removal instead.
- How large the pile is overall
- Loose material versus bagged
- Length and thickness of branches
- Whether anything is wet or heavy
- Back yard, side yard or curbside
- Gate width and pathway access
- Whether non-green items are mixed in
- Whether more will be added before pickup
Common situations
Why Yards End Up With a Pile
Seasonal Pruning
A big trim day leaves far more brush than curbside collection will take.
After a Tree Service
Limbs and cuttings left behind once the cutting work is finished.
Storm and Wind Cleanup
Downed branches and scattered debris after a rough stretch of weather.
Landscaping Changes
Shrubs, planters and old beds pulled out before new landscaping goes in.
Getting a Property Ready
Overgrowth cleared before a sale or a new tenant, often with a property cleanout.
Catching Up
A yard that got away over a couple of seasons and needs one reset.
Pricing
What Affects Yard Debris Removal Cost?
Green waste is priced mostly on volume — how much space the material takes up in the truck — with weight as the second factor. Wet material, soil-heavy root balls and thick logs weigh far more than the same-looking pile of dry brush.
After that it's labor and access: whether the pile is at the curb or at the far corner of a fenced back yard makes a real difference.
Disposal requirements vary by material, which is another reason to tell us what's actually in the pile.
