Professional Yard Waste Removal for NYC Properties
Even in the most urban environments, green waste accumulates. From the brownstone backyard in Brooklyn to the sprawling estates of Staten Island, New York properties generate significant volumes of yard waste throughout the year — especially following spring cleanup, summer storms, fall leaf drop, and major landscaping projects.
Big New York Dumpster Rental provides dedicated yard waste containers and full-service removal for homeowners, property managers, landscaping companies, and municipalities across New York City and the surrounding areas. All collected green waste is transported to certified composting facilities — keeping it out of landfills and returning nutrients to the soil.
What Yard Waste We Accept
- Grass clippings and sod
- Tree branches and limbs (up to 6 inches diameter)
- Leaves and pine needles
- Shrubs and hedge trimmings
- Garden plants and flowers (non-invasive)
- Mulch and wood chips
- Stumps (small, under 12 inches — call for large stumps)
- Vegetable garden waste
- Bamboo and invasive plant removal
Yard Waste Dumpster Sizes
We offer dedicated yard waste containers in 10-yard and 20-yard sizes. Because green waste is significantly lighter than construction debris, you can fill these containers fully without weight concerns — making them very cost-effective for large landscaping projects.
For very large tree removal projects or commercial landscaping work, we also offer 30-yard green waste containers. Call us to discuss the right option for your project volume.
Landscaping Company Partnerships
Big New York Dumpster Rental partners with dozens of NYC-area landscaping companies, offering dedicated yard waste containers at competitive contractor rates. If you're a landscaper handling multiple NYC properties, ask about our landscaping company account program with scheduled weekly pickups and consolidated billing.
NYC Composting and Environmental Commitment
All yard waste we collect is transported to New York State-certified composting facilities rather than landfills. This aligns with NYC's long-term sustainability goals and ensures that organic material is returned to productive use — whether as compost for agriculture or mulch for city parks.
What We Cannot Accept as Yard Waste
Yard waste containers are strictly for organic green material. Do not place construction debris, soil contaminated with chemicals, treated wood, or invasive species designated for controlled disposal (such as Japanese knotweed) in yard waste containers without calling us first.
