When Plano's weekly yard pickup can't keep up
Plano picks up yard trimmings every week, which handles routine trimming well. Trouble starts when one cleanup makes more than a single pile's worth.
The city's own page warns that several piles can take weeks to clear. Meanwhile the brush sits along the alley, and the leaves sit in soggy paper bags.
That's usually when we get the call. We take it all on one trip, and nobody has to cut it to size first.
Leaf season and the paper bag problem
Plano wants leaves and clippings in paper lawn bags, kept under a weight limit and not taped shut. After a few rainy days, those bags start to tear at the bottom.
We load bags whole, split or soggy, and pick up what spills. Plastic bags are fine with us too, since we're not running them through the city's program.
Mature trees, big limbs and storm cleanup
When a North Texas storm brings limbs down across Plano, the cleanup is often more than a few bundles. Branches land on fences, roofs and the driveway all at once.
Limbs already on the ground are trailer work, and we load them as they lie. A standing tree, a hung-up limb or a big clearing job needs equipment we rent or subcontract.
Those get quoted per job with the gear included, and we won't promise same-day on them. Our post on storm debris cleanup in Collin County covers what to do first.
Stumps, trunk rounds and the heavy stuff
Plano wants trunk pieces kept apart from the smaller brush and light enough to lift. After a tree comes down, most rounds blow past that weight.
We roll them up the ramp and load them with everything else. If the pieces still need cutting, tell us when you send photos.
Yard junk that isn't brush
Fall cleanups in Plano rarely stop at leaves. Old fence pickets, a rotted planter box, broken patio furniture and a dead mower all turn up behind the shed.
We haul the household junk and the yard waste together. If the fence itself is coming out, our fence removal service is quoted per job.
A yard reset sometimes includes a worn-out trampoline or playset as well. Our hot tub, trampoline and playset removal covers those teardowns.

Yard Debris Removal in Plano: questions
My brush pile in Plano is bigger than 6 by 4 by 4 feet. Will you take it as is?
Yes. Size and stacking don't matter to us, only the trailer space it fills. A good-sized pile out back is usually around the Half Trailer Load, from $515, and photos let us confirm it up front.
Can you load from the alley behind a Plano house?
Usually, yes. Plano's own rules talk about the alley as well as the curb, and we can often back the trailer in there. Send a photo of the alley so we can check the room.
Do you haul yard debris in towns near Plano?
We do. See brush and yard debris hauling in Allen, or our Plano service area page for everything else we do there.
