Yard Waste Removal Cost in Dallas, TX
Most people pay $150–$400. Updated for 2026.
Local view of our Yard Waste Removal cost guide — national ranges, what moves them, and every city we cover.
Branches, hedge trimmings, leaves and pulled shrubs pile up faster than any green bin in Dallas, TX can take, and one weekend of garden work can leave more than a month of collections would clear.
Green waste is bulky rather than heavy, so it is priced by the space it fills — and loose brush fills a truck surprisingly fast.

Yard Waste Removal in Dallas: what actually moves the price
Dallas runs a mixed housing stock — 42% detached houses, 47% in larger buildings — so two yard waste removal quotes on the same street can look nothing alike. The variable is access, and it is the one thing worth spelling out when you post.
The median Dallas home dates to 1980. Housing of that vintage sets the practical limits on yard waste removal — doorway widths, stair turns and whether there is a basement in the picture at all.
Drive time is a real line in a Dallas quote — the city covers 340 square miles — so the truck that is already working near you can come in under one crossing the whole area. Collecting a few bids is how you find out which is which.

Yard Waste Removal in Dallas: where the city stops and a hauler starts
The free route in Dallas has hard edges, and they are the reason people end up paying: Ten cubic yards a month, with one exception a year that allows twenty.
Past those limits the city is not an option at all — not slower, not pricier, simply unavailable. That is the line a hauler exists for, and it is worth knowing exactly where it sits before you start carrying anything.
Collection in Dallas is run by City of Dallas Sanitation Services. Below is what they will take, straight from their own rules — and where each route runs out.
What the regular cart will not take
Materials go out between Thursday and Sunday before your collection week, placed just behind the curb in front of your own home — not at the side of the house, not in an alley, not across the street, not in the roadway or on the sidewalk, and at least five feet clear of roll carts, mailboxes, fences, water meters, telephone boxes, parked cars, fire hydrants, poles and traffic signs. Taken: tree limbs and shrubbery no thicker than eight inches and no longer than ten feet, bagged grass and leaves, household furniture, bicycles and toys, stoves, washers, dryers and water heaters. Not taken: ordinary bagged garbage that would fit in the roll cart, construction and demolition debris (bricks, rock, asphalt, gravel, concrete, glass panes, glass doors, mirrors, anything with nails sticking out), auto parts and tires, dirt, soil and sod, electronics, roofing and shingles, paints and chemicals, and any appliance holding coolant or gas — air conditioners, refrigerators, freezers, dehumidifiers, lawnmowers.

Cut it down before the truck arrives
This is the one job where a little preparation genuinely lowers the bill. Branches cut to four feet and stacked the same way take up a fraction of the space of a loose pile, and volume is what you are paying for. An hour with loppers can move you down a whole bracket.
Green waste is composted, not landfilled
Most areas have green waste facilities that mulch and compost rather than bury, and their tip fees are lower than landfill. That is why yard waste is usually cheaper per truckload than household junk — as long as the load stays clean. Mixing in plastic pots or bagged rubbish pushes the whole load back to landfill rates.

Yard Waste Removal in Dallas — common questions
How much does yard waste removal cost in Dallas?
Most people pay $150–$400. That is a national range for yard waste removal, not a quote — your real price comes from local pros bidding on your photos, and it moves with volume, stairs and how far the item has to travel to the truck.
Will they take tree stumps?
Cut sections and root balls small enough to lift, generally yes. A stump still in the ground is stump grinding — a different trade with different equipment. Mention it up front so nobody arrives expecting to load something that is still attached to your garden.
Does it need to be bagged?
No, and loose is usually better because bags have to be emptied at a green waste facility. What helps is stacking branches in the same direction and keeping the pile clear of fencing and pots so the crew can work straight through it.
Can soil, rock and sod go in the same load?
They can, but they are charged differently because they are heavy and cannot be composted. A load of clean green waste is one price; the same truck with a ton of soil in it is another. Say what is in the pile and the quotes come back accurate.
How quickly can it be picked up?
It depends on how many pros cover your area. On our first jobs the first quote arrived within one to three days, and we email you the moment one comes in. Once you pick a pro you choose the date and time window; same-day or next-day pickup is possible when a crew has room on the truck.
What does JunkerClub charge me?
Nothing. Posting a job and collecting quotes is free, and you pay your pro directly when the work is done. The pro pays the platform a small fee only when they win the job — it never gets added to your price.
Do I have to carry it outside myself in Dallas?
No — the crew does the lifting and loading, and that labour is most of what you are paying for. In Dallas the stock is split — 42% of homes are detached and the rest are attached or in larger buildings — so two addresses on the same street can carry very differently. The median home here was built around 1980, so doorways and stairs are usually the wider post-war sizes. Say which floor it is on and whether there is a lift when you post the job; that is the part that moves the quote. Housing figures are from the U.S. Census Bureau.
What makes a junk removal quote in Dallas different from the national average?
Access and housing type, mostly. In Dallas, 42% of homes are detached and the city runs at about 3,904 residents per square mile — the housing stock is split between houses and larger buildings, so two addresses on the same street can price very differently. Renters occupy 58% of occupied homes here, which also shapes when the work happens. The prices on this site are national ranges; the number you actually pay comes from local pros bidding on your photos. Housing figures are from the U.S. Census Bureau.
