Yard waste removal in Northbrook, IL
When the pile is bigger than the yard waste bags, we load it. Branches, brush, old fence panels, the shed that leans and the playset the kids outgrew.
We work from the backyard out. You do not need to bundle anything or pull it to the street.
What we take
- Branches, limbs and brush
- Bagged leaves and clippings
- Fence panels and posts
- Sheds, taken apart
- Playsets and swing sets
- Landscape timbers and edging
- Planters, pots and garden hoses
- Old patio furniture
- Firewood and wood scraps
- Soil, sod and stone in small amounts, on request
What we cannot take
Yard chemicals, such as weed killer and pool chlorine, cannot ride with the brush.
- Household hazardous waste
- Paint, stains and solvents
- Chemicals, including pesticides and pool chemicals
- Asbestos, or material that may contain it
- Propane tanks
Have one of these? Ask us and we will point you to the right drop-off.
How pricing works
Brush is bulky and light, so the price is about space, not weight. We stack it tight to keep your load size down. Text a photo of the pile with something for scale and we will quote it.
- Minimum load
- Quarter truck
- Half truck
- Three-quarter truck
- Full truck
Every quote includes all labor, loading, hauling and disposal fees. If you decline the quote, there is no charge. Read the full pricing guide.
A local note for Northbrook
Illinois has kept landscape waste out of landfills since 1990, so we keep brush and leaves apart from the rest of the load and take them to landscape waste sites. The rule is on the Illinois EPA waste page. If your regular curbside pickup in Northbrook will not take the pile, we will.
I highly recommend Northbrook Junk Removal! They did an excellent job cleaning up our backyard and removing all the junk, old furniture, wood scraps, garbage bags, and debris. They left the entire area looking clean and organized. The service was professional, quick, and hassle-free. Great communication and attention to detail. Definitely would recommend them to anyone looking for reliable junk removal services!
Yard waste removal: common questions
Do I need to bundle or bag the branches?
No. Leave the pile as it is. We load it by hand.
Can you take down an old shed or playset?
Yes. We take it apart, load the pieces and clear the footprint.
Do you cut down trees?
No. We are not a tree service. We haul limbs and brush that are already down.
Can you take dirt, sod or rock?
In small amounts, on request. Tell us what and how much, since heavy material loads differently from brush.
Can you come after a storm?
Yes. We are open 24 hours, 7 days a week. Call or text and we will find the earliest window.
