What Yard Waste Removal Costs in Denver.
By Darius Schultz, owner · Updated
Storm branches, a fall's worth of bagged leaves, the fence that finally fell over. Here is what hauling it costs, what counts as yard waste, and the honest line between hauling a pile and doing a landscaper's job.
- Owner-operated, based in Golden, no bagging or bundling required

Yard Waste Is Priced by the Yard.
Our yard waste removal in Denver starts at $149, which covers the first 2 cubic yards: a small pile of the branches a storm brought down, bags of leaves and grass, a few fence panels, a dead shrub with its root ball already out. After that it is $75 a yard, so a whole fence line or a season of brush is simple math, and a big cleanup that fills the 6x10 dump trailer can take two trips at the same per-yard price. Every price includes the drive, the loading, the haul, and the disposal fee.
Yard waste and yard debris mean the same thing to us: branches, brush, leaves, grass clippings, old fencing, planters, broken patio furniture, and the odd garden shed panel. You do not need to bag or bundle any of it. Point at the pile and it goes.
One thing to know about how we work. We haul what is piled up. We do not clear flower beds, pull shrubs, dig out roots, or rake a yard; that is a landscaper's job, and a landscaper does it better and cheaper than a junk hauler pretending to. If it is stacked, bagged, or lying where we can pick it up and load it, it is ours.
Yard Waste Removal Cost by the Yard.
| Pile | Notes | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Storm branches, a dozen bags of leaves or grass | Small pile, quick load | $149 for up to 2 cubic yards |
| Fence panels and posts from a section of fence | Concrete footings not included | By the yard, from $149 |
| A season of brush, a whole fence line, a shed's worth of planters | Bigger pile | $75 a yard past the first 2 |
| Full yard cleanup pile plus patio furniture and a grill | Full trailer, sometimes two trips | Same per-yard price on every trip |
| Dirt, sod, rock, and gravel | Dense and heavy; the one yard job we pass on | Referred to a landscaper |
Loose leaves and grass are fine unbagged if they are in one pile. Bagged or stacked piles pack tighter, and tighter means fewer yards.
Dirt, Sod, Rock, Gravel: The One Yard Job We Pass On.
We recently hauled out a yard's worth of lava rock and learned the lesson the hard way: dense material weighs several times what the same pile of branches does, takes hours to shovel and load by hand, and is charged by the ton at the transfer station. We underquoted that job badly, and we are not going to repeat that for you or for us. Dirt, sod, rock and gravel are the one yard job we pass on. That is a job for a landscaper with a skid steer and a dump truck, and we will tell you so in the first reply.
Anything still in the ground is landscaping, not hauling. Once the shrubs are out and piled, or a stump is cut loose, we take the pile.
