Bay Area Yard Waste Removal. Same-Day Yard Waste Pickup & Disposal.
A good yard cleanup leaves more behind than the green cart can take: limbs from the trim, bags of leaves, sod that’s heavier than it looks and the old fence panels by the side gate. Our yard waste removal crew loads the whole pile and hauls it off, with green waste kept apart for composting. We work across the East Bay, Tri-Valley, Peninsula and South Bay, and beyond.

From the crew
Real jobs, real loading.Out back and onto the truck.
Two real yard jobs from our crew. One is brush and branches gathered up and loaded by hand; the other is an overgrown backyard walked through for a free estimate. That’s how a yard gets cleared with Junk Magik, from the first look to the last load.
How it works
Yard waste removal in 3 steps, from overgrown pile to open lawn.
Show us the yard
Phone us or send a few photos through the form. A wide shot of the pile and the path from the yard to the street tells us plenty.
A photo or two
Free quote, either way
We price by the space it fills in the truck, not by the hour, so a long walk from the back fence costs nothing extra. The crew confirms the exact price on site before loading.
No commitment needed
Cleared and hauled
Our crew carries every branch, bag and panel out to the truck and drives it away. Green waste rides separately, bound for compost.
A yard you can use again
Why people call us
Same-day yard debris removal. We’ll take every last branch.
Junk Magik is family owned and operated, and outdoor cleanups come up all the time for our crew. Doing it yourself means borrowing a truck, lining the bed with a tarp and making trip after trip, paying at the gate every time. Green waste removal, brush removal and tree branch removal are routine work for us, and so is hauling sod you’ve already pulled up. Because we price by truck space, a slope or a long side path never adds to the bill.
- Licensed and insured on every property
- No truck to borrow or tarp to buy
- Green waste stays out of landfill
- Patio furniture and planters too
- Priced by volume, not by the clock
Yard waste pricing
The cost of yard waste removal, priced by the pile.
Yard waste removal is priced by how much room the load takes in our truck, not by how long it takes to carry out. A pile tucked behind the garage costs no more than one sitting at the curb, which keeps the number simple.
A few bags have their own rate, so a handful of branches is never priced like a full yard. Quotes are free online or by phone, and the final number is confirmed once the crew sees it. On a bigger landscaping project, ask about regular pickups and Junk Magik will keep the yard clear as you go.
A few bags or bundles
A weekend of pruning, a few bags of leaves or one old patio chair. Small loads are priced on their own, and we're happy to swing by for them.
A cleared corner
A hedge cut back to the frame, a pile of branches after a storm or one bed of sod pulled up. Plenty of trips to the curb, and our crew makes all of them.
The whole yard
Brush, limbs, sod, fencing and the patio set, from front yard to back. Cleared in one visit when it fits, quoted together as one job.
Ongoing projects
Landscaping in stages, or a big property that keeps growing? We can come back on a regular schedule as the piles build up.

Before you rake
Yard cleanups pile up fast. Here’s how to clear them.
These are the three things people ask us most about getting rid of yard waste, with honest answers and the part Junk Magik takes off your hands.
How do you get rid of branches for free?
Start with the green cart and your city's bulky pickup. Many cities collect yard trimmings every week, and some take bundled branches on set days if they're cut to size. That works for a bit of pruning. A full yard cleanup usually outgrows the cart in one go, and that's where Junk Magik comes in.
How do you clear a big pile of garden waste?
In loads, which is the hard part. A cut-back hedge or a tree's worth of limbs fills a pickup bed fast, and the trips to the transfer station stack up with a gate fee each time. Our crew takes the whole pile in one visit, and Junk Magik handles it from there.
Why is yard waste harder than it looks?
Wet sod is heavy, thorny brush snags on everything and long branches won't sit still in a car or truck bed. Raking is the easy part; carrying it all out to the street is where the afternoon goes. Junk Magik's crew does the carrying.
What we can’t take from the yard
A few garden and garage products count as hazardous, and those belong at a household hazardous waste drop-off, not on our truck. If there’s soil or rock mixed into the pile, mention it when you book so we can talk it through.
Everything else, from the last bag of leaves to the old patio set, Junk Magik is happy to haul away.
(510) 867-1107Where green waste goes
Yard waste disposal that ends in compost, not the landfill.
Most of a yard load is green waste, and California wants it composted rather than buried. Here’s the order a Junk Magik load follows from your driveway.
Green waste to compost
Branches, brush, leaves, grass and sod are kept out of the mixed load and taken to a facility that composts them.
Reuse for what still works
Patio furniture, planters and garden tools in good shape go to a reuse partner before anything else.
Metal and wood pulled out
Old fence panels, metal edging and broken outdoor furniture frames are sorted out for recycling wherever they can be.
Landfill only for the rest
Whatever truly can't be composted, reused or recycled. It's the last stop, and we keep it to a minimum.

Yard waste FAQ
Planning a yard cleanup? Answers before you rake.
Cost, timing, what we take and where it ends up. These are the questions homeowners ask Junk Magik before a yard pickup.
It's priced by how much room the load takes up in our truck, not by how long the job runs. A few bags have their own rate, and a full yard is quoted by volume. Quotes are free online or by phone, and the crew confirms the exact price on site before loading.
No. Loose piles are fine, and so are bags or bundles. Leave it where it's easiest for you and our crew will load it from there.
Branches, brush, leaves, grass and sod are kept out of the mixed load and taken to a facility that composts them, in line with California's organics rules.
Small amounts go in your green cart, and many cities run a bulky pickup for bundled branches on set days. Bigger loads can go to a transfer station that takes green waste, or to a hauler. Either way, California's organics rules send green waste to compost rather than the landfill, so it shouldn't go in the trash cart.
No. We haul, we don't cut. If a tree service or gardener does the trimming, we can come in after and take away everything they leave behind.
Yes, once they're up and out of the ground. Rolled sod, fence panels that are already down and old posts all go on the truck. If there's soil or rock mixed in, mention it when you book.
Yes, when a slot is open. Same-day and next-day openings do come up, so call early in the day for the best chance.
Absolutely. A single pile of branches or a few bags of leaves is a real job for us, with its own rate. You don't need a whole yard to call Junk Magik.
Yes. For landscaping in stages or a large property, we can come back on a schedule as the green waste builds up.
