Can I mix yard waste with other junk?

Yes. The container is a standard roll-off; brush, garage junk and old fencing can all go in together.

Is soil or sod a problem?

Only for weight. Soil and sod are heavy, so they go in a 10-yard container with a weight allowance of 1 to 2 tons, and we quote the per-ton overage up front.

Can the container go on the tree lawn?

Not in the City of Buffalo without the DPW street-obstruction permit. We place it on the driveway or the lot instead.

Do you take tree stumps?

Yes, cut into pieces that can be lifted in. Very large stumps and logs are heavy, so tell us the size when you book.

Yard Waste Dumpster Rental in Buffalo, NY

Buffalo Dumpster Co. roll-off containers at the yard ready for delivery

A yard-waste dumpster is the easy answer to the pile that a Buffalo yard produces: branches after a lake-effect storm, a season of leaves, a hedge coming out, sod and soil from a new patio, or a landscaping tear-out ahead of a rebuild. We deliver a 10, 15 or 20-yard container, you fill it, and we haul it away at one flat price.

Because green waste is light, the container is usually sized by volume, but soil, sod and stone are heavy and go in a 10-yard so the weight stays inside the allowance. Tell us what is in the pile and we will size it right.

What goes in a yard-waste dumpster

Branches, limbs and brush, leaves and grass clippings, hedge and shrub tear-outs, sod, soil and mulch, old fencing and deck boards, pavers and stone in small quantities, and the general debris of a garden rebuild. Mixed loads are fine: a yard-waste rental is an ordinary roll-off, so garage junk can go in alongside the brush.

Keep out: tires, batteries, electronics, propane cylinders, pool chemicals, pesticides and any other chemicals. Erie County’s household hazardous waste programme takes pesticides and pool chemicals from residents; call (716) 858-6800 for a Hazman voucher or the next collection day.

Storm and clean-up seasons

Buffalo’s storms leave a lot of limbs on the ground, and the spring and fall clean-ups fill containers fast. Call early in the week for the best choice of delivery days, and let us know if the pile is on the tree lawn: in the City of Buffalo a container cannot sit on the tree lawn, sidewalk or street without the DPW permit under § 413-4(C), so we place it on the driveway.

Landscapers and property managers

If you clear yards for a living, set up an account. We keep containers on call for tear-outs and seasonal clean-ups across Buffalo, Amherst, Cheektowaga, Orchard Park and Hamburg, with swaps when you need them.
