Fast quote tip:
A wide photo of the pile + one close-up of the material type = accurate pricing without guessing.
Pro tip: pricing is fastest when we can see the pile size, the material type (yard vs construction), and access for the truck.
Debris cleanout pricing is usually driven by how much space it takes in the truck, how heavy it is, and how hard it is to load (distance, stairs, mud, tight access, parking). Most jobs can be quoted accurately from a couple of photos once we know the debris type (yard, storm, or construction).
Best for: yard & storm piles
Branches, leaves, small logs, fencing, mixed storm debris
Best for: construction debris
Drywall, lumber, flooring, tile, concrete chunks, demo cleanup
Two “same size” piles can cost different amounts depending on weight, handling time, and disposal requirements. Here’s what matters most:
Volume (truck space)
Most cleanouts are priced by how much of the truck your debris fills (¼ load, ½ load, full load).
Weight / density
Dirt, concrete, tile, shingles, and wet debris weigh more and can change disposal costs.
Access & loading time
Long carries, tight gates, steep hills, muddy yards, and stairs can add labor time.
Material type
Yard debris, mixed junk, and construction materials often have different disposal/recycling routes.
Use this to compare quotes apples-to-apples. (Exact prices vary — but the drivers are consistent.)
Yard debris
Branches, brush, leaves, small logs. Price depends on pile size and whether it’s loose or bundled.
Storm debris
Often mixed materials (wood + fencing + shingles). Wet/heavy piles and scattered debris can increase labor time.
Construction debris
Drywall, lumber, flooring, tile, concrete. Dense loads can price higher due to weight and disposal.
Mixed piles
The “grab bag” pile is common. Sorting/recycling requirements can affect time and routing.
Most debris cleanout quotes are based on how much of the truck your debris takes up. Bigger load = more labor time + more disposal. The fastest way to estimate load size is a wide photo (showing the full pile) plus one close-up (showing material).
Small load
A few items or a small pile (easy access, quick load).
Medium load
A decent-sized pile or a garage corner (more loading + truck space).
Large / full load
Big storm piles or renovation debris (heavier disposal, more labor).
