Responsible Disposal
We estimate by phone, walk through it on site, and price what actually fills the truck.
Full Service Yard Waste Removal Done Right
A single small pile at the curb is one thing. A yard full of branches, sod, and trimmings after a real cleanup is another. The crew handles both the same way, sized to the job with a plan set before anyone starts loading.
Heavy Lifting Handled For You
Wet sod, heavy branches, and awkward angles do not change the estimate once it is set.
Responsible Sorting and Disposal
Yard waste is evaluated for the best available option and directed to the most appropriate recycling, reuse, or disposal outlet whenever possible.
Your Space Left Neat and Tidy
We hold our crews to a high standard. Tanya makes sure of it, using photos and follow-up with customers to keep everyone accountable.
Yard Waste Removal Built Around Seattle
Seattle’s yard waste rules are stricter than most cities realize, and a standard curbside bin does not come close to covering a real cleanup.
- Bins cannot handle a full cleanup or a season of buildup.
- Hillside yards in Magnolia and Mount Baker, no problem for this crew.
- King County keeps yard waste separate from regular garbage.
- Narrow side yards in Wallingford and Fremont, we handle them like it's routine.
King County requires yard waste to be kept separate from regular garbage and recycled through approved facilities, a rule that has been in place since 2018 according to King County Solid Waste.

Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as yard waste?
Yard waste covers branches, sod, grass clippings, leaves, and general landscaping debris, anything left over from yard work or a landscaping project rather than household items.
Can Seattle's yard waste bin handle a full cleanup?
Usually not. City yard waste bins are built for regular seasonal upkeep, not a full cleanup with branch piles, sod, or a season of accumulated debris, which is where a dedicated pickup makes more sense.
Is yard waste removal cheaper than renting a dumpster?
It depends on the size of the job. A dumpster tends to work out cheaper for a multi day landscaping project where someone else is doing the loading. Yard waste removal tends to make more sense for a single cleanup where speed and labor matter more.
How is pricing calculated for yard waste removal in Seattle?
By the volume of space the yard waste takes up in the truck, not by counting individual items. A quote gets confirmed on site before anything is loaded, and current rates are posted on the price list.
What happens to yard waste after it is picked up?
Yard waste is evaluated for the best available option once it leaves the property, directed to the most appropriate recycling, reuse, or disposal outlet whenever practical, rather than assumed to be recycled automatically.
Can yard waste removal be scheduled the same day?
In many cases, yes, depending on the size of the job and the day’s schedule. Same day and next day appointments are common.
Is Seattle Rubbish Removal licensed and insured?
Yes, Seattle Rubbish Removal is licensed and insured.
Does the crew separate yard waste from other debris on the same job?
Yes. If a job includes yard waste alongside other debris, materials get separated as part of the same pickup rather than mixed together.
