Yard Waste Rules
We can now take:
-
Leaves, grass clippings, branches, plants, and brush
-
Untreated pallets and scrap wood
-
Logs under 18 inches in diameter (larger must be declared in advance)
⚠️ Important:
-
Invasive species must be declared.
-
Do not place yard waste in curbside trash bins — it must be handled separately.
Our bins are transported to local partners including Cannonsburg and Landscape Impressions, both of which specialize in responsible composting and recycling of landscape debris.
Choosing the Right Dumpster Size for Projects
Soil Guidelines
We accept residential topsoil only, as long as it’s clean and free of contamination.
If you’re pulling bushes or removing sod, a little soil mixed in with roots or grass is expected — that’s perfectly fine.
Please keep soil and yard waste separated when possible. Separate loading ensures it can be processed efficiently and avoids contamination fees.
How Much Stuff Fits in a Dumpster?
Concrete & Heavy Materials
Our 12 yard dumpster is designed to handle dense loads up to 6 tons — ideal for concrete, block, and stone removal.
To ensure safe hauling:
-
Avoid mixing concrete with soil or yard waste.
-
Declare your load type when booking so we can route it properly.
- Do not drop heavy materials over the top rail without materials already in the bin, damage fees will apply.
Lumber and Large Wood
We can take untreated lumber up to 18 inches in diameter.
If your load includes logs, timbers, or large cuts above 18 inches, please declare ahead of time so we can confirm the proper disposal site.
Why Declaration Matters
Declaring your load type upfront allows us to:
-
Route your materials to the right facility (Cannonsburg or Landscape Impressions)
-
Prevent rejection or added fees
-
Keep Grand Rapids compliant with disposal regulations
Neighborly Hauling partners directly with local facilities to ensure everything is processed safely, sustainably, and legally.
