What Counts as Yard Waste?
We Take the Green Stuff So You Don't Have to Guess
Honestly, yard waste covers a lot of ground—literally. We’re talking about organic green waste that comes from maintaining your property. That includes things like grass, leaves, branches, brush, plants, flowers, weeds, and small tree limbs. Even dirt and sod are fair game.
One thing we hear a lot: “Can I toss in old potting soil or roots?” Yep, absolutely. As long as it’s natural yard debris, we can take it. We do ask you keep out things like rocks, metal, plastic pots, and treated lumber—those go in a different bin.
Common Yard Waste We Accept:
Grass clippings and leaves
Branches and tree trimmings
Brush and shrubs
Weeds and plants
Dirt, sod, and small stumps
If you’re unsure about something, just give us a shout. We’ve helped folks all over Richmond figure out what goes where—no guesswork, no surprise fees.
When You Need a Yard Waste Dumpster
From Spring Cleanups to Storm Damage, We've Got You Covered
Yard work is never really done, is it? But some projects are bigger than others. That’s when a dedicated yard waste dumpster makes all the difference. Instead of making 15 trips to the dump, you just fill the container and we handle the rest.
Here’s when our customers in the Bay Area call us most:
Spring or fall property cleanup
Tree trimming or removal projects
Landscaping overhauls
Clearing overgrown lots or vacant land
Post-storm cleanup
Gardening or yard renovation
Removing old ivy or invasive plants
Cleaning up after a fence or shed removal
The truth is, we’ve seen yards in Richmond that looked like jungles—and after we dropped a dumpster, they were ready for a fresh start in just a day or two.
Dumpster Sizes for Yard Waste
Pick the Right Size—We'll Help You Decide
Yard waste can be bulky but lightweight, so you don’t always need a massive container. That said, if you’re clearing a whole property or taking down several trees, you’ll want something bigger. We’ve got options to fit your project and your driveway.
Here’s what we recommend for yard waste jobs:
10 Yard Dumpster
Holds approximately 3–4 tons of concrete
Compact footprint, perfect for driveways
Ideal for small to medium demolition jobs
20 Yard Dumpster
- Holds up to 8–10 tons (when loaded only halfway with concrete)
- Better for larger jobs like full driveway or patio removal
- Requires careful loading to stay under legal weight limits

Expert Tips for Loading Your Concrete Dumpster
Save Time, Avoid Extra Fees, and Maximize Your Space
Loading concrete the right way helps you avoid overages and ensures safe hauling. Here are a few expert tips from our team:
Keep Concrete Separate
If possible, keep concrete free from trash, wood, metal, and other debris. “Clean concrete” is easier and cheaper to recycle.Even Distribution is Key
Load your dumpster evenly to avoid tipping hazards and help our team haul it safely.Do Not Overfill
Concrete is extremely heavy. Never fill the dumpster above the “fill line” or exceed recommended tonnage.Call Before You Mix
Mixing asphalt, concrete, and bricks in one load can increase disposal costs. Call us for sorting and recycling guidance before loading.
Our team is happy to provide on-site tips, phone support, or job-specific loading advice for first-time renters or seasoned contractors.
