Yard Waste Removal Miami — Branches, Trimmings, and Storm Debris Hauled Fast
Miami-Dade picks up bundled yard trash curbside on a schedule — but a big trim job, a post-storm mess, or branches too large to bundle usually means it just sits there. This page covers when the free county pickup works, when it doesn’t, and what private removal costs when you need it gone faster.

Yard Waste Removal Miami: What to Expect
When you need yard waste removal Miami, our licensed and insured crew delivers upfront pricing, flexible scheduling, and careful handling every time. As a trusted yard waste removal Miami provider, we serve homeowners and businesses across Miami-Dade County.
County pickup vs. private removal
Miami-Dade offers curbside yard trash collection on a regular schedule, but it comes with limits that catch a lot of homeowners off guard:
- Bundled yard waste is capped at 4 cubic yards per week — branches and limbs must be cut under 5 feet in length and under 6 inches in diameter, bundled and tied. Loose, oversized, or unbundled piles are often skipped by the county crew.
- Large volumes from a full yard cleanup, tree trimming job, or storm can exceed what a single curbside pickup will take.
- Timing is fixed to the county’s schedule — if you need the yard clear before a weekend, an event, or a home sale, waiting for the next scheduled pickup often isn’t fast enough.
Private pickup skips all of that — we take branches, trimmings, and yard debris in whatever condition they’re in, on your timeline rather than the county’s.
What yard waste removal costs in Miami
Pricing is based on volume and how much handling the debris needs — a trailer of loose branches costs less to process than the same volume of large cut logs or root balls:
| Job size | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Small trim pile (single tree or hedge) | $95–$175 |
| Partial trailer load | $175–$350 |
| Full trailer load / major cleanup or storm debris | $350–$650+ |
Palm fronds, large logs, and root balls take up more truck space and weigh more than loose branches, so a job that looks small can still price at the higher end depending on what’s actually in the pile.
What we take
Tree branches and limbs, hedge and shrub trimmings, palm fronds, grass clippings and leaves in bulk, small logs, and general storm debris from downed limbs. Large tree removal (standing trees, stump grinding) is a separate specialty service — tell us upfront if that’s part of the job so we can point you the right direction.

FAQ
Do I need to bundle branches before you arrive?
No — that’s only required for Miami-Dade’s free curbside yard trash pickup. With private pickup, we take branches and trimmings loose, in whatever pile they’re already in.
Why doesn’t the county just pick up my yard waste?
County curbside collection has limits on bundle size, branch length, and total volume, and runs on a fixed schedule. Large cleanups, storm debris, and unbundled piles often don’t qualify or can’t wait for the next scheduled pickup.
Do you remove entire trees or stumps?
Standing tree removal and stump grinding are specialty services outside standard yard waste removal. Tell us upfront if that’s part of the job so we can advise on the right approach.
Can you handle storm debris cleanup?
Yes — downed branches and storm-related yard debris are common jobs, especially when county pickup schedules fall behind after a storm.
Do you take grass clippings and leaves too?
Yes, in bulk as part of a broader yard cleanup — this is typically priced by volume along with the rest of the debris.
Is same-day yard waste pickup available?
Often, yes, especially for smaller piles — the same booking-before-1:00-PM guidance that applies to other same-day jobs applies here too.
