Home – Yard Waste Removal
Village yard waste collection works fine for a few bags of leaves. It stops working when a storm drops half a tree in the driveway, a hedge removal leaves a mountain of brush, or a landscaping project produces more sod and soil than any bundle rule allows.
Yard waste removal in Glencoe typically runs $175 to $450 depending on volume. We load it ourselves, including loose piles that were never bagged, and haul it to a composting facility rather than a landfill.
Spring cleanups, fall leaf season, and post-storm cleanup are our busiest windows on the North Shore. If a storm just came through, call early. Those weeks book up fast.
Branches, limbs, trimmings, cut logs, stumps (unearthed), hedge clippings
Leaves, pine needles, garden waste, dead annuals, spent mulch
Sod, soil, rock, gravel, edging, old mulch, weed barrier
Downed limbs, fence sections, blown-in debris, damaged planters
Broken pavers, retaining wall blocks, patio slabs, small concrete pieces
Planters, raised beds, trellises, old garden structures
One picture from a few steps back tells us the volume. Mention if it’s in a backyard behind a gate, since access affects the labor.
The crew confirms the number on arrival. Loading loose debris, raking up what’s scattered, and hauling are all included.
We rake the area clean and take the load to a composting facility. Organic yard waste becomes soil amendment instead of taking up landfill space.
Village rules on length, diameter, and twine don't apply to us.
Loose piles are fine. We load them by hand.
We come to the pile, not the curb.
We take large limbs and debris that exceed collection limits.
Organic material goes to a composting facility.
Most yard cleanups run $175 to $450 depending on volume. A small brush pile is at the low end, while a full landscaping teardown with sod and soil is toward a full truck load.
No. Loose piles are completely fine and we bring rakes and tarps to gather what’s scattered. If it’s already bagged, that’s fine too.
We can take stumps that are already out of the ground. We don’t do grinding or excavation, so a stump still rooted in the yard needs a tree service first.
Yes. Downed limbs, scattered debris, and damaged fence sections are all things we clear. Call early after a storm, since those weeks fill up quickly across the North Shore.
Yes, though heavy material like soil, gravel, and pavers is priced by volume and weight together since it fills a truck differently than brush. Send a photo and we’ll be specific.
Yes. We rake the spot where the pile was so you’re not left with a ring of loose debris and matted grass.
You’ve walked past that pile enough times. One call and it’s gone this week, hauled off by a local crew that donates and recycles first. Tell us what you’ve got and we’ll give you a real price, free.
