Yard waste outgrows the green cart fast.
One storm or one weekend of pruning can fill cart after cart, and city chippers have size limits and set dates. We load it bagged or loose, take the green waste to be composted and rake up after ourselves.
Everything, start to sweep.
- Loading of all yard waste
- Bagged or loose material
- Composting of green waste
- Rake and sweep-up
Yard waste rules in Metro Vancouver
Your green cart is the right place for weekly clippings. A storm clean-up or a backyard makeover is usually too much for it, and yard waste can’t go in the garbage instead.
- Yard trimmings are on Metro Vancouver’s disposal ban list, so they can’t go in a garbage load.
- In Maple Ridge, the city chips up to 3 m³ of branches per household, up to 6 inches thick, at set times of year. Stumps, root balls, thorny branches, bamboo and leaves are excluded.
- Garden chemicals, pesticides and fertilizer are household hazardous waste. Ask us first: tell us what they are and how much, or use the free drop-offs.

How yard waste removal is priced
Priced by truck space; soil, sod and rock carry a surcharge because of their weight. Labour, loading, disposal fees and sweep-up are always included.

Good to know
A surcharge may apply for some items on this kind of job, such as soil, sod and rocks, shed teardowns.
In-unit labour may apply when items are upstairs, in elevators or in backyards, based on access and distance.
Either way, it’s part of your estimate before anything moves.
About surchargesWhat affects the cost of yard waste removal
Every job is quoted free at your door. These are the things that move your estimate, and how to keep it down.
-
Volume
Loose brush is bulky. A pile of branches takes more truck room than its weight suggests.
To lower it: Cut long branches down to a few feet and stack them in one direction; they pack much tighter.
-
Soil, sod and rock
These are very heavy, so a few yards can reach the truck’s weight limit, and they carry a surcharge.
To lower it: Reuse clean soil around the garden where you can, and keep the rest in its own pile.
-
Structures
Old playsets, fencing and planter boxes have to come apart before they’re loaded.
To lower it: Book them in the same visit as the yard clean-up rather than as a separate job.
How to get ready for yard waste pickup
- Pile everything in one or two spots close to where the truck can park.
- Bag leaves and clippings if it’s easy; loose is fine too.
- Keep soil, sod and rock separate from branches.
- Set pesticide, weed killer and fertilizer containers aside and mention them when you book, so we can tell you if they can come.
- Point out sprinkler heads and soft lawn so we can plan the route.
Where it all goes.
Green waste goes to composting facilities. Wood structures and metal are separated and recycled where possible.

See all reviews on Google (opens in a new tab)Just call them. They make your heaviest most problematic junk disappear like magic. We had an amazing experience with Spartan Junk Removal! Easy to schedule and super speedy response. Stress free, awesome service, plus great humour. We had a bunch of old equipment that needed to be gone. It was quite a big job but they took care of absolutely everything from start to finish. They were so efficient and all the heavy lifting was done so quick and our space was taken care of. They totally made this stressful job feel completely effortless. Everything was cleared out in no time like magic. And it’s so rare to find genuine people to work with these days and just couldn’t be happier with these folks. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable team that’s got your back. You won’t regret this.

Yard Waste Removal questions
Do I need to bag the yard waste?
No. We load it bagged or loose.
Can you take a brush pile after a storm?
Yes. We load branches and brush bagged or loose, and take the green waste to be composted.
Do you take soil, sod and rocks?
Yes. They’re very heavy, so they carry a surcharge, and a few yards can reach the truck’s weight limit. It’s all part of your estimate before anything moves.
Do you take tree stumps?
Stumps that are already out of the ground, yes. Stump grinding needs an arborist.
Can you take garden chemicals or fertilizer?
Sometimes. Pesticides, weed killer and fertilizer are household hazardous waste, so it depends on the type, the amount and the situation. Ask us first. If we can’t take them, Product Care runs free drop-offs; our What we don’t take page has the links.
Can you take down a shed or fence?
Yes. See our shed removal and light demolition services.
