Yard cleanup pile getting bigger every weekend?

Tree limbs are heavy. Bagged mulch and dirt are heavier. And once you've got a pile by the curb, the city's pickup is a coin flip. We bring a crew, a truck, and the saws to cut anything into haul-friendly pieces.

The yard is the one place where the “I’ll just deal with it next weekend” pile actually grows on its own. Branches keep falling. Hedges keep needing trimming. The swingset the kids outgrew is still standing five years later.

We come in with a crew, a chainsaw, and a truck. We cut, we load, we haul. Curb-side or back of the property — it all goes in the same trip.

  • Excellent service! Highly recommend this company for junk removal. I had junk lying around my yard for months and the crew who came over cleaned out the junk in no time. They were professional and did a wonderful job at clearing out my space. Kudos to the team!

  • Fast, friendly, and fairly priced. The crew showed up when they said they would and hauled away an entire garage of junk in under an hour. Couldn't be happier.

  • We had a basement full of old furniture and boxes from a relative's estate. The Penguin team was respectful, efficient, and honest about pricing up front. Would absolutely use again.

  • Got a same-day appointment to take a hot tub out of my backyard. Crew was strong, careful with my fence, and left the area cleaner than they found it.

Frequently asked questions

Do you cut branches or just haul them?
We cut. Bring saws and a crew. Trees-down-the-property-line, storm-damage branches, whatever you've got.
How is it priced?
By truck volume, same as everything else. A pickup-truck-bed worth of brush usually lands between $149 and $249.
Can you take a whole shed?
Small to mid-size sheds, yes — we tear them down on-site. See [shed removal](/junk-removal/yard-waste-and-brush-removal/shed-removal/) for the details.
What about bagged grass clippings and leaves?
Yes. Faster than waiting on the curb pickup, and we'll take as many bags as you've got.
