Yard Waste Removal in Vancouver & Metro Vancouver

Vancouver's green bin is sized for weekly kitchen scraps and light yard trimmings, not a full backyard cleanup. If you've got a truckload of branches or a torn-out flower bed, your options are: bag it and haul it yourself to a Metro Vancouver transfer station or a green-waste depot (paid by weight), rent a green-waste bin from a bin company (usually $250–$400 for a small bin), or have a junk service haul it in one visit. We charge by volume in the truck, not by weight, so a bunch of light branches usually costs less than the same volume of packed-down sod.

Yes — every Metro Vancouver transfer station accepts yard waste as a separate green-waste stream, which is composted rather than landfilled. The tipping fee is lower than mixed garbage because of that. Contaminated green waste (yard trimmings mixed with plastic bags, plastic pots, or dirt-heavy sod) is charged at the higher mixed rate, so keep it clean if you're hauling it yourself. If it's already mixed, we'll sort what we can at the truck.

Yes, but they're priced by weight rather than volume because soil and rock hit the truck's weight limit long before its volume limit. Metro Vancouver charges dirt and sod at a per-tonne rate, which we pass through. If you have a lot of dirt — say a full flower bed's worth — it's often cheaper to book a dedicated dirt bin than to load it into a junk truck. For a wheelbarrow's worth or an old landscape berm, we're fine to haul it.

Yes — if it's wood, plastic, or lightweight metal and freestanding on grass or a pad, we tear it down, load it, and haul it. That includes swing sets, playhouses, garden sheds, trellises, and old fencing. We don't do concrete slab breakouts or roof teardowns on attached structures — that's contractor work. Send us a photo of the shed and we'll tell you straight whether it's in scope.
