local yard waste removal company in Seattle

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.

Backyard full of yard waste in Seattle - too much for the green bin

This is what "too much for the green bin" looks like.

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.

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

Call before noon, we're there today. Don't wait for the next municipal pickup day.

Why Seattle Homeowners Choose Us

Tree waste removal Seattle by Junk B Gone

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

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. We do the raking, bagging, and hauling. Just show us the mess and we’ll take care of everything. All you need to do is point us to the yard waste — we handle the rest from there.

Yes. Unlike your city green bin (which has a 60-lb weight limit and doesn’t accept soil or rocks), we take dirt, sod, gravel, concrete pavers, and rocks with no weight limits.

Our favorite. Blackberry brambles are one of the most common yard waste jobs in the Pacific Northwest, and we’ve cleared thousands of them across Seattle, Bellevue, Issaquah, and the Eastside. We’ll cut, pull, and haul thorny brambles that no one else wants to touch.

Green waste goes to Cedar Grove Composting in King County, where it’s processed into nutrient-rich compost. Cedar Grove handles over 400,000 tons of yard and food waste annually from Seattle and surrounding cities. Lumber gets recycled separately. We keep everything out of the landfill.

Usually, yes. Call before noon for same-day service. We work rain or shine — this is Seattle, and our crews show up in rain gear when they need to. If same-day isn’t available, we’ll schedule you for the next available slot, which is typically within 24–48 hours.

Starting at $99. We quote based on the job, and the price includes everything — labor, loading, hauling, and eco-friendly disposal at Cedar Grove. No hidden fees.
