Yard Waste Removal across Louisville Metro
Yard waste piles up faster than most homeowners expect, whether it's from a weekend of landscaping, clearing an overgrown lot, or cleaning up after a storm rolled through. A dumpster gives you a place to put branches, brush, and cut limbs without bagging everything by hand or making repeated trips to a drop-off site.
We deliver yard-waste containers throughout Jefferson County, sized for anything from a modest hedge-trimming job to a full property cleanup after a tree comes down.
At a glance
What you get with yard waste removal

- Delivered county-wide, Mon-Sat
Suitability
Is yard waste removal the right call?
The fastest way to get this right is to check the load against both lists before you book.
Good fits for this container
- Routine landscaping and brush clearing
- Storm and wind-damage limb cleanup (spring severe weather season)
- Ice-storm limb removal (winter)
- Overgrown lot or tree-removal debris
Send these somewhere else
- Loads mixed heavily with dirt, sod, or concrete — those add weight fast and are often better handled with a separate size or container
- Large stumps without checking ahead — stumps and root balls affect weight limits differently than branches

Yard Waste Removal — the Louisville-area specifics
Louisville sees yard debris pile up for two genuinely different reasons on opposite ends of the calendar. Spring, roughly March through June, brings the Ohio Valley's severe thunderstorm season — tornado watches and warnings along with straight-line wind events that can snap limbs and drop whole branches across a yard with little warning. Winter, roughly December through February, brings a different kind of damage: ice accumulation that weighs down limbs until they crack and fall, even without much wind at all. Both fill up dumpsters, just from different causes.
Outside of storm season, yard waste requests are steady across the county — from established lots in St. Matthews and Anchorage to larger properties in Jeffersontown and Fern Creek where landscaping and tree work tend to generate bigger loads. If a container needs to sit on a public street rather than in a driveway or yard, check with Louisville Metro Public Works' Right of Way Permits office ahead of time.

Answers
Yard Waste Removal — your questions answered
Can I mix yard waste with regular household junk?
It's usually better to keep them separate. Yard debris like branches and brush is bulky but relatively light per volume, while household junk and construction debris add weight differently — mixing large amounts of both can push a container past its weight allowance faster than expected.
Do you take tree stumps and root balls?
Let us know ahead of time if stumps or root balls are part of the load. They're dense and heavy for their size, so we may recommend a different size or a separate container depending on how much you have.
How much yard waste fits in a 15-yard dumpster?
A 15-yard container is our most common size for general yard cleanups — enough for a typical landscaping project or brush-clearing job. Larger storm cleanups with multiple downed limbs often call for a 20-yard instead.
Is yard waste removal busier at certain times of year?
Yes — spring severe weather season (roughly March through June) and winter ice storms (roughly December through February) both drive up demand for limb and brush cleanup, on top of the steady landscaping-related requests we see year-round.
