Yard Waste Removal in Harrison, AR

What does yard waste removal involve?

Yard waste removal means our crew loads your brush, limbs, leaves and landscaping debris by hand and hauls it off. You do not need to bag it or cut it to a certain length. We take cut limbs and brush, fallen branches, bagged or loose leaves, pulled shrubs, old sod, rotten landscape timbers and overgrowth cleared from a fence line.

Clean green waste goes to composting whenever possible instead of the landfill. We rake up the small twigs and leaf litter where the pile sat, so there is no mess left behind.

When do you need yard waste hauled off?

• A storm brought down limbs and the pile is too big for curbside service.
• You cleared an overgrown fence row or a patch of cedar and honeysuckle.
• Fall leaves from big oaks and hickories filled the yard.
• A landscaping project left behind old shrubs and sod.
• You are getting a house ready to sell and the yard needs to look cared for.

Why does yard waste pile up so fast here?

Yard waste piles up because this part of the Ozarks is thick with hardwoods, and big trees drop a lot. Oaks and hickories shed leaves by the truckload every fall. Spring is the wettest part of the year, and strong storms in April and May bring down limbs. Past ice storms have brought down limbs across town, and a single ice event can leave more brush than a homeowner can handle. Fast-growing cedars and vines also creep into fence lines on larger lots, and clearing them creates big piles of brush.

Can the city take my yard waste instead?

Sometimes, yes. Yard waste is not allowed in trash or recycling carts. Residents can drop off yard waste at the trash contractor's drop-off center at no charge, and curbside yard waste pickup is available by buying tags and scheduling a pickup. Bagged leaves must be in paper bags, since plastic bags are not accepted. You can read the city's yard waste and composting page for the current rules. Our service makes sense when the pile is too big to haul yourself or you want it gone in one visit.

What affects the cost of yard waste removal?

• Volume. The size of the pile is the biggest factor.
• Weight. Green logs and wet sod are much heavier than dry brush.
• Distance from the truck. A pile at the back of a sloped lot takes longer to carry out than one by the driveway.
• Log size. We haul limbs and small logs. Large trunks may need cutting by a tree service first.
