Yard Debris & Storm Cleanup in Snellville, GA
The wooded lots that make Gwinnett green are also what come down in a Georgia storm. A big tree or land-clearing job produces far more than the city recycling center's one-truckload-a-day limit or a household cart can take.
When routine pickup isn't enough
The city recycling center takes yard debris from residents, one truckload a day, and a household cart handles a normal week's trimmings. But a real tree job, a land-clearing, a storm cleanup or a lot overhaul produces far more than either will take.
Downed trees, large limbs, brush and the debris of a real clearing job are bulky and pile up fast. A container on site lets you clear it in one go rather than staging it over weeks of trips.
Vegetative debris is light but voluminous, so these jobs usually want a 30 or 40 yard. Where there's also structural or fence debris mixed in, we'll help set up the right container.
Georgia's yard-trimmings landfill ban
Here's a rule that shapes green-waste disposal statewide: Georgia law bans yard trimmings from municipal landfills. Leaves, limbs, grass and brush can't just be buried - they're mulched or composted instead.
That's good for the soil and for cost, but it means clean green waste needs to be kept separate so it can be routed to mulch or compost rather than turned into mixed waste. We handle that routing.
Mixing lumber, fencing, dirt or general debris into the green waste turns it into mixed waste and loses that option - and can mean it no longer qualifies for the cleaner, cheaper route. Keep the clean vegetation separate where you can.
Georgia storms and the wooded lots
Metro Atlanta sees hard weather - summer thunderstorms, the occasional remnant of a tropical system pushing rain and wind up from the Gulf, and the ice storms that come through in winter. Each brings down limbs and whole trees across Gwinnett's wooded neighborhoods.
After a significant storm, everyone across the metro is clearing at the same time and containers get tight. Being based locally means we can usually get one out quickly, but the callers who ring early get the easier scheduling.
A roll-off is the efficient way to handle a serious cleanup - clear the property in one push rather than making trip after trip to the recycling center against its daily limit.
Stumps, clay and secured loads
Stumps and root balls are heavy with the red clay clinging to them, so flag those - they can push a load's weight up quickly, like anything carrying the local spoil.
Land-clearing placement wants a firm spot clear of the vegetation being removed. We plank to protect the surface as always, and take care that the container and truck can sit and reach safely on a wooded lot.
Every load leaves tarped and secured for the haul - required under Georgia law, and doubly important with light, loose vegetative debris on a breezy day.

(770) 746-7062Yard Debris & Storm Cleanup: common questions
Can you handle a big tree or land-clearing job?
Yes - it's common work here in Gwinnett's wooded neighborhoods. Downed trees, brush and cleared vegetation are bulky and fill a 30 or 40 yard fast. After a storm we get containers out quickly, though demand spikes across the metro, so call early.
Can yard waste go in a landfill in Georgia?
No - Georgia law bans yard trimmings from municipal landfills, so clean green waste is mulched or composted. We route it the right way; just keep it separate from lumber and dirt so it stays clean green waste.
What size do I need for tree or brush removal?
Usually a 30 or 40 yard, since vegetative debris is bulky but light. If there are stumps with red clay clinging to them or mixed structural debris, tell us - that changes the weight and may need a swap.
Can you get a container out quickly after a storm?
Usually yes, and being local helps - but demand spikes across the metro when everyone clears at once. The earlier you call, the easier the scheduling.
