Yard Waste Removal in Murfreesboro, TN
After a Middle Tennessee storm or a big weekend of clearing, brush and debris piles add up fast. Curbside brush pickup schedules can be slow or limited by pile size, and hauling it yourself means multiple trips. Yard waste removal lets a crew load everything in one visit.
Common jobs include storm cleanup, overgrown lot clearing, old fencing and landscape timbers, and sod or mulch left from landscaping projects.
Heavy materials like dirt, rock and stumps can quickly hit truck weight limits and cost more.
What's typically included
- Branches and brush
- Storm debris and downed limbs

- Old fencing
- Landscape timbers
- Sod and mulch

Yard Waste Removal around Murfreesboro & Rutherford County
Murfreesboro and Smyrna run brush collection programs with their own schedules and rules. Private pickup can be faster after storms.
Rural properties often have larger debris piles from clearing fence rows.
Storm cleanup deserves a word of caution. Limbs still hanging in trees, trees leaning on power lines, or trunks resting on a roof are jobs for a tree service or the utility, not a junk removal crew. Once debris is on the ground, a crew can cut long limbs into truck-length pieces and load them by hand.
Separating materials can lower the price. Clean brush and leaves are lighter and easier to dispose of than mixed piles containing dirt, rock, concrete or trash. If you're clearing a fence row or an overgrown corner, keep old wire fencing and metal posts in their own pile so they can be routed to scrap metal recycling.
For ongoing landscaping projects, ask whether the provider offers a second pickup at a set price; it's often cheaper than paying for a partially full dumpster to sit on your lawn.
Typical cost of yard waste removal
Typical estimates, not quotes. These ranges reflect general market pricing to help you budget. Your independent provider confirms a firm price before any work begins.
| Job size | Typical estimate |
|---|---|
| Small pile | $100–$250 |
| Half truck | $250–$400 |
| Full truck | $400–$650 |
Stumps, dirt and rock cost more. Sending clear photos of everything that's going, plus notes on stairs and distance from where a truck can park, is the fastest way to get a tight quote. Compare the ranges with our Murfreesboro pricing guide.
Getting ready for pickup
- Set aside anything you're keeping, ideally in one room or clearly marked.
- Remove hazardous materials such as liquid paint, fuel, pesticides, pool chemicals and propane tanks; those generally can't go on a junk truck and belong at a household hazardous waste collection.
- Make sure there's a clear path and a place for the truck to park, and let your HOA or property manager know if they require it.
- Ask the provider about proof of insurance, how they handle donations and recycling, and whether the quoted price includes disposal fees.
