Yard Debris Removal

Yard debris removal clears branches, palm fronds, hedge trimmings, sod, stumps and storm-downed limbs. Green waste is deceptively heavy – a single bag of wet sod or soil can pass 50 pounds – so weight as well as bulk shapes the load. The rate is $50 per cubic yard of truck space, with a $150 minimum, and the figure is confirmed in writing before anyone starts. Elephants Dumpster Rental & Junk Removal serves St. Petersburg and the surrounding Pinellas County area.

Elephants Dumpster Rental & Junk Removal loads it all and hauls it away in one visit.

Why Curbside Yard Waste Rules Catch People Out

Every municipality in Pinellas County runs its own yard waste program, and they are stricter than most homeowners expect. Common limits include branches cut to four feet or shorter, bundles tied and under 50 pounds, a cap on the number of bags or bundles per collection, and a rule that loose piles are not collected at all. Debris that does not comply simply stays at the curb.

Then there is timing. Yard waste is usually collected once a week on a fixed day. A tree trim on a Saturday can mean a pile sitting in front of your house for six days, going brown, attracting insects and, if the wind picks up, spreading across the street. In a deed-restricted community that pile can generate a violation letter before it ever gets collected.

What we do differently

We take loose piles – no bundling, no bagging, no cutting to length
No quantity limit. One pickup truck load or ten.
We take mixed debris – yard waste along with the broken fence panel and the old planters
We come when you need us, not on a fixed weekly route
We do the loading, including raking and gathering what has scattered

What Yard Debris Removal Costs

Priced by volume – the space the load takes up in the truck. Yard debris is bulky but relatively light, so it tends to be one of our better-value services.

Quarter load – a routine trim, a few palm fronds, a small hedge cut back
Half load – a full day of yard work or a small tree taken down
Full load – major clearing, storm cleanup, an overgrown property reclaimed
Dumpster – landscaping projects that run several days. See dumpster rental.

The quote covers labor, raking, loading, hauling and disposal fees. Nothing extra appears at the end.

What we do not do

We are a hauling company, not a tree service. We do not climb, cut standing trees, operate a chipper on site or grind stumps. If a tree needs to come down we will recommend a licensed and insured arborist, and then we will haul away everything they leave behind – which is often the part homeowners forget to price in.

Where it goes

Clean green waste is taken to yard waste facilities that mulch and compost it rather than to a landfill. That is why we ask you to keep plastic bags, pots, hoses and rock out of the green pile where possible; contamination is what forces a load to be dumped instead of mulched.

Storm Season, Overgrowth and Property Cleanups

Before a storm

Anything loose in a Florida yard becomes a projectile. Dead fronds, stacked pavers, broken lattice, an old grill and a rotting fence panel are all worth clearing before a warning goes up. Our schedule fills within hours once a system enters the Gulf, so early is better.

After a storm

We run hurricane debris removal across the county. Municipal storm debris collection can take weeks after a major event, and it will not touch anything mixed with construction material, fencing or household items. We will.

Overgrown and vacant properties

Realtors, investors and property managers call us for properties that have been sitting. We clear the yard, the side yard, the shed area and everything that got dumped behind the fence. See property management services and foreclosure cleanouts.

Why us

Locally owned in Pinellas County, fully insured, uniformed crews, firm pricing up front, and green waste taken to be mulched rather than buried. Read our reviews, then call 727-240-7033.

Where We Provide Yard Debris Removal: St. Petersburg, Clearwater and Tampa

We run yard debris removal hardest in St. Petersburg, Clearwater and Tampa, because that is where the crews already are. The rest of Pinellas County is not an afterthought either — we are on those roads every single day.

St. Petersburg, FL

Everything starts in St. Petersburg for us. yard debris removal across Shore Acres, Venetian Isles, Coquina Key, Allendale, Disston Heights and Pinellas Point is routine work. Post-flood cleanouts on the low-lying streets are a big part of what we do, and we handle those with the hauling limits spelled out up front rather than after the truck is loaded. See the full St. Petersburg service page.

Clearwater, FL

Clearwater sees a lot of our yard debris removal volume, especially around snowbird turnover in spring and fall. We cover Clearwater Beach, Island Estates, Belleair-adjacent streets, Countryside and the US-19 corridor. Seasonal-rental turnovers are booked in tight windows, and we hit them. Details on our Clearwater coverage.

Tampa, FL

Tampa is a full part of our service area, not an edge case. We cross the Howard Frankland, Gandy and Courtney Campbell daily for yard debris removal in South Tampa, Hyde Park, Palma Ceia, Bayshore, Seminole Heights, Ybor City, Channelside, Westchase, Carrollwood and Temple Terrace. More on our Tampa junk removal coverage.

The Rest of Pinellas County

The rest of the county is standard route work, not a special trip. Mid-county we cover Largo, Pinellas Park and Seminole. North county is Dunedin, Palm Harbor, Tarpon Springs, Safety Harbor, Oldsmar and East Lake. The barrier islands are St. Pete Beach, Treasure Island, Madeira Beach, Indian Rocks Beach, Indian Shores, Redington Beach, Redington Shores, North Redington Beach, Clearwater Beach and Tierra Verde. We also serve Gulfport, Kenneth City, South Pasadena, Belleair, Belleair Beach, Belleair Bluffs, Belleair Shore, plus Westchase and Gandy across the bay.

Yard Debris Removal Frequently Asked Questions

How much does yard debris removal cost in St. Petersburg?

Yard debris is priced by volume. A routine trim or a few palm fronds is usually a quarter load, a full day of yard work is around a half load, and major clearing or storm cleanup can be a full load. The price includes raking, loading, hauling and disposal fees. Call 727-240-7033 for a free quote.

Do I have to bag or bundle the debris first?

No. We take loose piles with no bundling, no bagging and no cutting branches to length. We also do the gathering and raking, so you do not have to drag anything to the curb.

Why will the city not take my yard waste?

Most Pinellas County municipalities require branches cut to about four feet, bundles tied and under 50 pounds, and a limited number of bags or bundles per collection. Loose piles are usually not collected at all, and collection happens once a week on a fixed day.

Do you cut down trees or grind stumps?

No. We are a hauling company, not a tree service, so we do not climb, cut standing trees or grind stumps. We will recommend a licensed arborist and then haul away everything they leave behind, which is often the part homeowners forget to budget for.

Can you take a stump that has already been dug out?

Yes. Cut trunk sections, root balls and stumps that are already out of the ground can all go, and they are priced by volume like the rest of the load.

Do you remove sod, dirt and rock?

Yes, but tell us the volume when you book. Sod, dirt and rock are extremely heavy for their size, so a small-looking pile can weigh more than a truckload of branches and is priced accordingly.

Can you take yard debris mixed with fence panels and household junk?

Yes, and that is one of the main reasons people call us. Municipal yard waste collection will not take mixed loads. We can haul the palm fronds, the broken fence and the old patio furniture in one trip.

How fast can you come out after a storm?

As fast as our schedule allows, but demand is extremely high after a major storm and municipal debris collection can take weeks. If you can, book before a system arrives to clear loose material that could become airborne.

Where does the yard waste go?

Clean green waste goes to facilities that mulch and compost it rather than to a landfill. Keeping plastic bags, pots, hoses and rock out of the green pile helps, because contamination is what forces a load to be dumped instead of recycled.

Is yard debris removal available in Tampa or only in Pinellas County?

Both. Tampa gets the same crews, trucks and pricing structure as our Pinellas work. We book yard debris removal in Downtown Tampa, Water Street, Harbour Island, Davis Islands, Bayshore, Beach Park, Old Seminole Heights, Tampa Heights, Town & Country and Brandon. Because Tampa sits in Hillsborough County, disposal runs through Hillsborough facilities, so we quote Tampa jobs with that tipping cost included rather than surprising you later.

Do you cover Clearwater Beach and the condo towers for yard debris removal?

Yes, and we do it constantly. Clearwater Beach, Sand Key and Island Estates buildings almost always require an elevator reservation, a certificate of insurance naming the association, and a set haul window. We carry current insurance and file the COI before the truck leaves. Mainland Clearwater — Countryside, Northwood, Del Oro Groves, Downtown Cleveland Street — is simpler and usually books faster.

What other Pinellas County cities do you cover?

Effectively all of them. Mid-county we run Largo, Pinellas Park and Seminole. North county is Dunedin, Palm Harbor, Tarpon Springs, Safety Harbor, Oldsmar and East Lake. The barrier islands run St. Pete Beach, Treasure Island, Madeira Beach, Redington Beach, Redington Shores, North Redington Beach, Indian Shores, Indian Rocks Beach and Clearwater Beach. Smaller municipalities like Gulfport, Kenneth City, South Pasadena, Tierra Verde and the four Belleair towns are covered too.
