Yard Waste Dumpster Rental in Frederick, MD

Yard waste dumpster rental is for the clean-ups that are too big for the curb: a storm that brought trees down, an overgrown lot, hedges and stumps coming out, or a landscaping tear-out with old sod, gravel and timbers. We deliver a 10, 15 or 20-yard container, you fill it, and we haul it.

Frederick County Code § 1-11-43 keeps yard waste out of the landfill’s disposal area, whether it arrives on its own or mixed in with other waste, so a clean green load goes to the County’s yard-waste site instead. That is why we ask you to keep brush and general debris in separate boxes where you can. Sod, soil and gravel are heavy and go in a 10-yard, loaded level with the rail.

What goes in a yard waste dumpster

Branches, brush, leaves, hedge trimmings, stumps, logs, sod, soil, gravel, mulch, old fencing, deck boards, landscape timbers and pavers. Keep green waste and general debris in separate containers where you can: the County defines yard waste as leaves, grass, plants, shrubs and prunings, and a mixed load of trimmings and drywall causes problems at the landfill. Keep hazardous items out: pesticides, pool chemicals and fuel go to a County household hazardous waste event, not the container.

The curb and when a container makes sense

The City of Frederick collects yard waste in paper bags or containers up to 35 gallons, with branches bundled and cut to its size limits, and the County takes up to five 30-gallon paper yard-waste bags per resident per day free at Reichs Ford Road; anything more has cost a $10 minimum plus $25 a ton since July 2025. That is enough for a normal weekend’s trimming. A container makes sense when the pile would take weeks of bags, when you have stumps, sod or soil, or when the job has to be done this week.

Storm clean-up

After a storm we prioritise the calls with trees down and roofs open. A 20-yard container swallows a large yard’s worth of limbs; call before noon and we can often deliver the same day around Frederick. If a tree has taken a fence or a shed with it, tell us and we will size the box for the mixed load.

Yard Waste Dumpster Rental FAQ
  • Can I mix yard waste with other junk?
    It is better not to. Frederick County keeps yard waste out of the landfill’s disposal area even when it is mixed in, so tell us the rough split and we will sort the boxes and price it the best way.
  • Do stumps and logs go in?
    Yes. They are heavy, so tell us how many and we will pick the size and the allowance to suit.
  • Is there a cheaper option for a small pile?
    For a normal weekend’s trimming, curbside yard-waste collection or the County’s free paper-bag drop-off (five 30-gallon bags a day) is the cheapest route. A container is for the big jobs.
  • Can the container go on the lawn?
    Yes, though it will leave marks and the truck needs firm ground. Most people put it on the driveway and carry the brush to it.
