Green waste & storm debris
Yard Waste Removal in Fresno, CA — Branches, Brush and Green Debris Hauled
Branches, brush, palm fronds, sod and storm debris loaded and hauled — composted where a facility will take it.
Overview
Yard Waste & Green Debris Done Properly in Fresno, CA
Green waste in the Central Valley arrives in bursts. A tree gets trimmed and leaves a pile four times bigger than anyone expected. Palm fronds come down in a spring wind and there are thirty of them. A lawn gets replaced and the sod is heavier per square foot than anything else in the yard. The green bin holds a fraction of it, and it comes once a week.
That mismatch is the whole reason this service exists. A single trimming job can produce more green waste than the curbside bin will take in two months, which means either living with a pile through a Fresno summer — where it dries out, becomes a fire consideration and starts harbouring things — or making eight trips in a vehicle not designed for it.
We take it in one load. Branches, brush, palm fronds, hedge trimmings, sod, soil, old fencing, leaf litter and storm debris all go in the same trailer, and green material goes to a composting facility rather than a landfill where one will accept it. Nothing needs to be bundled, bagged or dragged to the curb — we load it from wherever it fell.

When to call
When Green Waste Needs a Truck Rather Than a Bin
A trimming job has left a pile the green bin will not clear before autumn.
Palm fronds have come down in a wind and there are more than the bin lid will close over.
Old sod has been lifted for new landscaping and it is far heavier than it looks.
A fence came down and the panels are stacked where the new one has to go.
Dry brush has accumulated close to the house, which through a Fresno summer is worth taking seriously.
A landscaper did the work but quoted for the labor and not the haul-away.
Step by step
How a Green Waste Haul Works
-
Describe the pile
Rough dimensions are plenty — about the size of a car, roughly waist high across a driveway. Sod and soil are priced differently from brush because weight rather than volume drives them.
-
Priced before loading
You get a flat number based on how much of the trailer it will fill. Nothing needs cutting, bundling or moving to the curb before we arrive.
-
Loaded from where it sits
Back yard, side return, behind a gate, halfway up a slope. We carry it out rather than asking you to stage it, which is the part that takes most people a whole weekend.
-
Composted where it can be
Clean green material goes to a composting facility. Fencing, treated timber and mixed loads go to a transfer station. The area gets raked before we leave.
Pricing
Yard Waste Removal Pricing in Fresno
Priced on volume, except for soil and sod which go by weight. Clean green-only loads cost less than mixed ones because the facility charges less for them.
The quote covers everything
Labor, the truck, the drive and the dump fee are all inside the number you are given. There is no separate disposal charge added at the end.
Priced by volume, not by the hour
What you pay depends on how much space the load takes in the trailer. A quick job and a slow one cost the same if the pile is the same size.
The price is fixed before we load
You hear the number while everything is still on the ground. It only changes if you decide to add to the pile.
Typical price range
- Small pile
- $130 – $220
- Half trailer of green waste
- $240 – $380
- Full trailer of green waste
- $400 – $600
- Sod, soil and dirt
- $300 – $700
A single trimming session or one round of palm fronds.
A full day of yard work or a hedge removal.
Large tree trimming, whole-yard clearance or storm debris.
Priced by weight. Dirt reaches the scale limit long before it fills the trailer.
Prices may vary depending on the condition of the item.
Ranges are typical for the Fresno area and are here to set expectations, not to serve as a quote. Access, stairs, weight and how far the load has to be carried all move the number. Call and you will get a real one.

Why us
One Load Instead of Two Months of Bin Days
The maths on this is straightforward. A green bin takes roughly ninety-six gallons and comes once a week. A moderate tree trimming produces several cubic yards. That is two months of bin days, assuming nothing else in the garden happens meanwhile — and through a Fresno summer, a drying brush pile beside the house is not something worth living with for two months.
The alternative is one visit. Brenda's review mentions a fast response and the place looking amazing when the work was finished, which is the shape of a green waste job done properly: the pile is gone, the area is raked, and there is no evidence a fortnight later that it was ever there.
You deal with the owner

Same-day when we have the slot

Donated and recycled first
Usable furniture goes to a donation center, metal goes to a recycler, and only what is genuinely waste ends up at a transfer station.

FAQ
Yard Waste & Green Debris in Fresno — Common Questions
Do I need to cut the branches down to size first?
No. We load limbs as they are and cut on site only if a piece will not fit the trailer. Bundling, bagging and cutting to bin length is exactly the work you would be hiring us to avoid. Leave the pile where it fell.
Do you take palm fronds?
Yes, and they come up constantly around Fresno. Fronds are awkward rather than heavy — they do not stack, they do not compress, and they fill a trailer faster than their weight suggests. Trunk sections after a palm removal are the opposite: very heavy for their size. Both are fine, and we will price on what is actually there.
Can you haul away soil and old sod?
Yes, though it is priced by weight rather than volume. Soil and sod are dense enough that a load which looks like it is barely filling the trailer is a full weight ticket. Expect $300 to $700 depending on quantity. We will tell you that up front rather than quoting it as a light load. Prices may vary depending on the condition of the item.
Does the green waste actually get composted?
Clean green material does — branches, brush, clippings and leaf litter go to a composting facility rather than a landfill. What breaks that is contamination: a load with fence panels, treated timber, plastic pots or bagged rubbish mixed in gets rejected as green waste and charged at general rates. If you want the composting outcome, keep the pile clean and tell us.
Our landscaper did the work but will not take the debris. Can you?
Regularly. A lot of landscapers quote for labor and leave the haul-away out, which surprises people. Call us once the work is done and we will collect the pile as a separate job. If it is a recurring arrangement — a maintenance contract producing green waste every month — a standing collection is cheaper than booking each time.
Can you come out after a storm?
Yes, and it is worth calling early. Wind events around Fresno generate a lot of simultaneous calls, so the day after a storm books out quickly. If a limb is down across a driveway or blocking access, say so when you call — those get priority over a pile that can wait.
