Yard Waste, Hauled at the Flat Rate
Maryland yards produce in bulk — spring cutbacks, summer storms, the fall leaf drop, and the ice events that turn a tree line into a brush pile overnight. Most of it can’t go in the weekly trash, and trailer-full by trailer-full to the county yard-waste site eats a whole Saturday. Our answer: a container in the driveway and the simplest rate we carry — clean organic material (brush, limbs, leaves, cutbacks, logs) loads at $200 flat per load, up to 15 tons.

What Rides the Organic Rate
The one rule that matters: the load stays clean. Bags, pots, lumber, and household trash mixed through the brush convert the whole load to construction-debris pricing. One stream, one rate.
The line that matters: construction trash mixed into a heavy load converts the whole load to construction-debris pricing ($125/ton over the included tonnage). Keep the streams separate and both rates stay honest — we’ll tell you on the phone if your plan mixes them.
The Boxes Yards Fill
Volume is the yard-waste variable: brush and leaves weigh almost nothing, so the container fills by size, not weight — bigger boxes and swaps are about space, not tons.

Loading a Yard Box Right
Loose loads, cut to fit, weighted at the bottom: logs and heavy limbs low, brush on top, leaves last. Nothing extends past the top rail — brush especially wants to dome, and a legal load stays level. The full loading rundown: loading tips.
Where the Yards Are Biggest
How It Works
1
Book online or call (410) 808-7000 — the yard, the season, the volume
2
Same-week drop — driveway, pad, or field edge; boards down on request
3
Load it loose and level — no bags, one clean stream
4
15 days standard — $10/day beyond; yard work stretches across weekends and we plan for that
