Our Yard Junk Removal Services
We offer six outdoor cleanup services in Burlington. Each one is handled by a trained crew with the right tools. Below is a clear breakdown of what we do on each type of job.
Clearing Junk from Patios and Backyards
Patios pick up a lot of clutter over time. Old grills, broken chairs, and leftover bricks pile up and block the space. One of the most common items we remove is rusted metal patio chairs that have sat outside through many winters. These chairs are heavy and leave rust marks on the patio stones when dragged. We first wash down the work area using a high-pressure industrial gas-powered cold-water pressure washer to remove loose dirt and debris before loading begins. Next, we carry the chairs and junk to our truck. We follow the City of Burlington Exterior Property Maintenance By-law 049-2022, Section 3.2 on every job. This rule requires property owners to remove outdoor waste that creates a hazard or eyesore. This means that we clear the area completely before we leave so you stay on the right side of city rules.
Garden and Backyard Waste Pickup
Overgrown gardens create big piles of organic waste. Branches, weeds, dead plants, and old soil bags can fill a garden fast. We often find rotted pine tree branch piles stacked against fences or shed walls. These piles are bulky and full of smaller twigs that break apart when lifted. Our crew cuts them into short, manageable sections using telescopic bypass lopping shears with compound action. These shears have long handles and a spring-loaded compound mechanism that cuts through thick wood with little effort. After that, we load the cut pieces into our truck. We sort all garden wood waste following the Halton Region Waste Management By-law No. 123-12, Section 4.5. This by-law sets out how organic yard waste must be separated before pickup. This means that the branches we haul go to a composting facility instead of a landfill.
Spring and Fall Seasonal Yard Cleanups
Every season brings a new wave of outdoor mess. In spring, old leaves and dead plant stems cover the lawn. In fall, fresh leaves pile up fast and block water from soaking into the ground. One of the biggest tasks is clearing wet decomposed leaf piles that mat down and smother the grass underneath. Wet leaves are slippery and much heavier than dry ones. We rake the area clean using a heavy-duty steel-spined garden leaf rake. The thick steel spines pull matted leaves off the soil without tearing up the grass roots. Next, we bag the leaves and load them onto the truck. We follow the Ontario Environmental Protection Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. E.19, Section 9 when we transport yard waste. This law requires that organic debris be covered and secured during road transport. This means that loose leaves never fly off our trucks and land on neighboring properties.
Cleanup After Landscaping Projects
Landscaping jobs leave a trail of heavy waste behind. Bags of soil, rolls of old sod, piles of gravel, and used nursery pots pile up fast. One of the most difficult items to deal with is saturated topsoil clay bags left on driveways after a sodding job. These bags can weigh over 25 kilograms each and can tear if dragged. If they break open, wet clay runs straight into the storm drains at the curb. We use an electric-powered submersible clean-water utility pump to drain standing puddles and muddy water from the driveway before we start lifting. This keeps the area dry and stops mud from spreading. After that, we load the bags one by one and sweep the driveway clear. We follow the City of Burlington Stormwater Management By-law 052-2018, Section 2.1 at every landscaping job site. This rule bans putting soil or muddy runoff into the city storm sewer system. This means that your driveway and the street in front of your home are both clean when we leave.
Shed and Old Fence Demolition Removal
Rotted sheds, broken fences, and old swing sets take up yard space and can become a safety risk. We dismantle these structures by hand and haul every piece away. A common challenge during shed teardowns is dealing with decayed pressure-treated wood joists under the shed floor. These boards are soft from rot but still very heavy, and they often have old nails sticking through them at odd angles. We knock the frame apart piece by piece using a heavy-duty steel-reinforced demolition sledgehammer. The extra weight of this hammer makes breaking apart joints and boards fast and clean. Also, our crew wears steel-toe boots and thick work gloves on every demolition job. We work under the Ontario Occupational Health and Safety Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. O.1, Section 25. This act sets out the safety duties employers must follow on all work sites. This means that your family can watch from a safe distance while we do the heavy and dangerous work.
Green Waste Recycling and Composting
Not every piece of yard junk belongs in a garbage truck. A lot of organic material can be sent to composting facilities or recycling depots instead. A good example is untreated cedar mulch piles left over after a garden renovation. Cedar mulch breaks down naturally and works well as a compost input. We load the mulch from the garden bed into our truck using a heavy-duty manual steel compost fork with a d-grip handle. The d-grip handle gives a firm hold and lets us scoop big volumes of loose material without losing it to the sides. Next, we transport the load to a certified green waste facility in the Halton Region. We follow Halton Region By-law No. 123-12, Section 2.14 when handling organic yard loads. This by-law requires that organic yard waste be diverted away from general landfill disposal. This means that the leaves and plant waste from your yard will be turned into compost that goes back into the community.

Yard Junk Removal Questions We Hear a Lot
How much does yard junk removal cost in Burlington?
Prices start at $125 for a small job with a few items. A medium load costs between $250 and $400. A full yard clearout with a shed teardown can range from $500 to $900. We give you a free estimate before we start so there are no surprises.
Do I have to bag or sort anything before the crew comes?
No. You do not need to bag, sort, or move a single item. Our crew does all the raking, bagging, and loading. Just let us know which parts of the yard need to be cleared.
Can you take away a rotted wooden shed?
Yes. We dismantle and remove old wooden sheds, playsets, and perimeter fences. We bring our own tools and safety gear. After teardown, we haul every piece of wood and hardware away.
What happens to the branches and leaves you haul?
We take organic yard waste to a certified composting facility in the Halton Region. Branches become wood chip mulch. Leaves go into compost. This keeps organic material out of the general waste stream.
Do you work on Saturdays and Sundays in Burlington?
Yes. We are open seven days a week. Saturday and Sunday bookings are available at regular rates. Call us or email to check availability for your preferred weekend slot.
Can you remove heavy soil bags and old sod?
Yes. We load and haul topsoil bags, rolls of sod, gravel, and old sand. These heavy materials are priced by volume and weight. We handle the lifting so you do not hurt your back.
Will my lawn or driveway get damaged during the job?
We take care of your surfaces. We use wheel-based carts on paved areas and walk carefully on grass. If we need to work close to garden beds or fences, we put down protective boards first.
Do you serve rental and investment properties in Burlington?
Yes. We work with landlords, real estate investors, and property managers across Burlington. We can coordinate directly with a tenant or a real estate agent if you are not on site.
