Yard cleanup and yard waste removal
We clear overgrown backyards, brush piles, storm debris, and years of outdoor junk across Marlborough and nearby towns. For big yards we drop a 13–15 yard dumpster and fill it, so you don’t rent, load, or haul anything.
What we clear
From one brush pile to a whole overgrown lot
Most yard jobs are a mix: branches and brush, plus the junk that’s been sitting out back for years.
Storm debris
Fallen limbs and branches after a nor’easter or a summer storm, once any trees are made safe.
Old fencing
Broken fence sections, lattice, posts, and rolls of old wire fencing.
Outdoor junk
Rusted playsets, broken patio furniture, old grills, planters, and kids’ toys left outside.
Scrap piles
Metal, lumber, and leftover building materials stacked behind the garage or shed.
Before a sale or move
Clearing the yard so a house shows well or a new owner starts fresh.
Massachusetts rules
Why yard waste can’t just go in the trash
Massachusetts bans leaves and yard waste from trash disposal. That’s why your town runs its own yard waste program, like seasonal curbside leaf pickups or a compost site for residents.
For a few bags or a small brush pile, your town’s program is usually the cheapest way to go. Each of our town pages explains how that town handles it:
- Marlborough, Hudson, Northborough, and Southborough
- Berlin, Sudbury, Framingham, and Westborough
When a yard has a lot of brush mixed with metal, lumber, and junk, we sort it as we load so each material goes where it’s allowed.
How it works
A yard cleanup, start to finish
Walk the yard
Send photos or have us take a look. We’ll figure out how much there is and where a dumpster can sit.
Dumpster drop-off
A 13–15 yard dumpster is dropped in your driveway or another spot you OK.
We load it
We carry and load everything that’s already cut or on the ground, sorting brush from metal and junk as we go.
Hauled and cleaned up
The dumpster gets hauled away and we clean up the area we worked in.
Honest advice
Is a yard cleanup crew the right call?
We’re a good fit when…
- The yard has years of buildup: brush, scrap, and junk together
- You’re getting a house ready to sell or rent
- Storm cleanup left more debris than your town pickup will take
- You don’t want to rent a dumpster and load it yourself
You may not need us when…
- It’s a few bags of leaves or grass clippings
- You have a truck and your town’s brush drop-off takes the load
- You need ongoing mowing or landscaping (we only haul)
- A tree still needs to be cut down (call a tree service first)
Questions
Questions people ask
Something else? Text us. You’ll get an answer from the person doing the job.
Do you cut down trees or do landscaping?
No. We haul debris. If a tree needs to come down, hire a tree service for the cutting, and we can clear out what’s left behind.
Can yard waste go in the regular trash in Massachusetts?
No. Leaves and yard waste are banned from trash disposal statewide, which is why towns run compost sites and seasonal pickups. See the full list of banned items.
Can the dumpster go on my lawn?
The driveway is best. A loaded dumpster is heavy and can leave marks on soft ground, so we’ll look at the spot with you before it’s dropped.
Can you take dirt, rocks, or concrete?
Sometimes, in limited amounts. They’re very heavy and dumpsters have weight limits, so send photos first and we’ll tell you what’s realistic.
Is a yard cleanup worth it for a few bags of leaves?
Probably not. Your town’s yard waste pickup or compost drop-off is the cheaper route for small amounts. We make sense when there’s a lot of brush mixed with junk and scrap.
