Can you come the day after a big storm?

Usually yes — after major storms we re-route to prioritize cleanup calls. Book the slot as early as you can; full neighborhoods sometimes fill the day's schedule.

Do you stack branches on the truck or just toss them?

We stack — tossed loads shed debris on the drive and cost us extra at the dump. Stacked loads also mean we can fit more in your quoted volume.

Can you take soil from a landscaping project?

Yes, up to a typical truckload of clean fill or topsoil. Larger dirt piles need a dedicated dump-truck haul — we can refer a partner who specializes.

What about the old shed itself?

We can disassemble and haul small-to-mid sheds. Large pre-fab sheds may need a two-person crew and a dedicated slot; flag it when you book.

Yard Waste Removal in the DMV

After the storm, after the landscaping project, after the 'someday I'll get to it' pile behind the shed — we haul yard debris so you can see grass instead of chaos.

Check availability (703) 987-6138

What we take

Fallen branches, limbs, and whole small trees (up to 6-inch trunk diameter)
Leaves, pine needles, and pine straw
Hedge trimmings, shrub removals, flower-bed debris
Soil, mulch, gravel, and landscaping rock (small-to-mid volumes)
Old fencing (wood, chain-link, vinyl panels)
Shed contents (when we're not also taking the shed — that's a bigger quote)
Broken outdoor furniture, swing sets, rusted grills
Old potted plants, planters, garden tools

What we don't take

Honest list — a few things are either unsafe, regulated, or need a specialist.

Commercial-scale landscaping waste above a full-truck volume without a site walk
Poison ivy / poison oak piles (we can take them if bagged and flagged; our crews need to know)
Treated lumber painted with lead-based paint (pre-1978 structures — needs abatement)
Soil or debris contaminated with oil, fuel, or chemicals

How pricing works

Yard waste prices by volume — a half-truck of leaves is a different number from a half-truck of soil because weight matters for disposal.
Storm-cleanup slots are a priority after severe weather — call early and we'll group you into the route.
Composting-route pricing: where the municipality accepts clean green waste for composting, we pass the lower dump fee along as a small discount.

Free, firm on-site quotes — no dollar surprises

Every job gets a free, firm on-site quote before any lifting happens. We walk through the items with you, you see the truck, you get one total number — paid once the work is done. No hidden minimums, no hourly meters, no upcharges for stairs or heavy items.

Pricing is volume-based (by quarter-, half-, or full-truckload), which keeps costs predictable on bigger jobs and honest on small ones.

Typical turnaround

Same-day or next-day for typical yard cleanouts. After major storms we re-route the schedule — call immediately and we'll get you in that day or next.

Why Junk Snap for this service

Storm-response priority routing — your driveway isn't blocked for a week.
Compost-routing where available so green waste doesn't go to landfill.
We bring tarps — your grass doesn't get torn up by loose piles.
Comfortable with HOA and townhome-association rules around debris staging.

What jobs look like in the field

Autumn and winter storms drive most calls: downed limbs, a dropped tree, a fence section knocked over, shingles in the yard. Spring brings landscaping projects — old mulch cleared before a refresh, a dug-up flower bed, a pile of sod strips. Summer is shed and fence season: an old wooden shed that should have come down years ago, a chain-link fence being replaced with vinyl, a pergola that rotted out. We also see regular calls from landscape contractors finishing jobs who want their client's yard waste hauled off before the final walk-through — call ahead for contractor partnership rates on recurring work.
