Yard Waste & Outdoor Junk Removal in Chicago
Branches from the storm, the mower that won't start, the rusted grill, the patio set the raccoons claimed. Everything outside that the city won't take on garbage day, we will.

Chicago's Streets & Sanitation takes bagged yard waste only during a short seasonal program and by request, and never takes mowers, grills or furniture. Suburban haulers have their own limits. What's left is a pile in the yard or the alley that gets bigger every season. We take it all in one trip, over 250 outdoor jobs in the last 24 months, from post-storm branch piles to full patio clear-outs, and because it's outside, you usually don't need to be home for it. We love working outdoors, so send us the big piles.
Illinois keeps landscape waste out of landfills, so branches, brush and leaves go to a composting or landscape-waste facility. Metal (mowers, grills, furniture frames) is recycled. Pavers, bricks and soil are heavy and carry a weight surcharge, which the crew will tell you about before loading.
What We Take
- Branches, brush, logs and leaves (after storms or tree work)
- Lawn mowers, snow blowers and trimmers
- Grills, smokers and propane grill bodies (tanks separately, see FAQ)
- Patio furniture, umbrellas and cushions
- Planters, pots and dead plants
- Pavers, bricks, landscape stone and soil (weight surcharge)
- Garden sheds, trellises and edging
- Fire pits, chimineas and hot tub covers
- Kids' outdoor toys and playhouses
- Alley piles and construction leftovers

The crew gives you a firm price on the spot
They take a look at everything and give you one number that covers the labor, loading, hauling and disposal. There's no obligation, so if it doesn't work for you, they simply leave and there's no charge.
-

Say yes and it's gone, in the same visit
The crew carries everything out from wherever it sits, loads it up, and sweeps up after themselves. Most jobs are finished right then and there.
-

You don't even need to be there
If the crew can reach the items, whether that's the alley, the garage, a doorman or a door code, they'll do the job while you're at work, text you before-and-after photos, and take payment by phone or with a card on file.

Naperville
Partial Deck Demolition Including Nine Posts — Naperville, IL
This Naperville job kept part of a large backyard deck and removed the rest. The tricky part was the nine support posts, each set in a concrete footing, which all had to come out completely so the area could be regraded and seeded.

Does the City of Chicago pick up yard waste?
Only bagged landscape waste, only by request through 311, and only in season (typically April through November). Branches over 4 feet, stumps and any furniture or equipment aren't accepted. That's where we come in.
Do you take propane tanks?
We take the grill but not the tank. You can exchange it at any hardware store or drop it at Chicago's Household Chemicals facility at 1150 N. North Branch St.
Can you take a storm-damaged tree?
We take branches and logs a crew can lift, generally under 8 inches in diameter and cut to manageable lengths. For large trunks and stump grinding you'll want a tree service, and we're happy to haul whatever they leave behind.
Do you take dirt, gravel and pavers?
Yes, with a weight surcharge. A small amount goes with the other junk; a large amount is its own truckload. Either way the crew will tell you before loading.
Do I need to be home?
Not for yard and alley pickups. Point us at the pile (a photo or a note works great), and the crew texts you the price for a yes before they load.
What about railroad ties or treated lumber?
We take them. They aren't recyclable, so they go to a licensed C&D facility.
Free Onsite Estimate, One Firm Price
We don't quote by phone, because we'd rather give you a number we can stand behind. The crew comes out for free, looks at what's going and how it's getting out (stairs, elevators, heavy material and all), and gives you one price that covers everything. Say yes and they do the job right then. Say no and there's no charge, no hard feelings.
