Yard Waste Removal in Chicago
Tired of looking at piles of yard debris and landscaping waste? Whether it’s branches, leaves, soil, or old fencing, Orange Crew Junk Removal hauls it away so you can enjoy a clean, clutter-free outdoor space. Our crews work out of four Chicagoland offices, so a truck is never far from you in Chicago or the suburbs, and most pickups are scheduled for the same or next day.
Yard debris we remove:
- Soil, sod, and dirt removal
- Tree branches, brush, and firewood
- Gravel, paving stones, and landscaping rock
- Bags of leaves and grass clippings
- Old fencing, wood panels, and shed parts
- Mulch, plant waste, and other green debris
Why Chicago Homeowners Call Orange Crew
Orange Crew is a locally owned junk hauling company, not a national booking site. Our Chicago office is at 4747 W. Peterson Ave, Ste 407B, with three more in Northbrook, Barrington and Clarendon Hills. The people who show up are licensed, insured Orange Crew crews in Orange Crew trucks.
Here is how a yard pickup works: text a photo of the pile to (224) 386-4836 for a quote, pick a same-day or next-day slot, and the crew does the rest. They bring rakes, shovels and wheelbarrows, load from wherever the debris sits, and sweep up before they leave. Branches and clean green waste are sorted for recycling rather than the landfill wherever a Chicago-area facility accepts them; soil, gravel and stone go to materials disposal sites.
Call us at (888) 308-7556 or book online. Estimates are free and the price you are quoted is the price you pay.

Get Rid Of Those Ugly Piles Of Yard Debris!
No matter what landscaping project you are working on, we can help you remove all the debris and leftovers scattered around your backyard. Our junk haulers have the experience and equipment to quickly and safely gather everything from tree branches and stumps to piles of dirt and grass clippings. We make sure that every inch of your property is cleaned up after the job is done, leaving it looking neat, organized, and ready for whatever project comes next.

Soil and Sod Removal
Why break your back or get dirty trying to move piles of dirt or sod? Let Orange Crew do the dirty work. We have the tools and muscle to remove dirt or sod, or both from your backyard. Our crews come equipped with rakes, shovels, wheelbarrows, and heavy machinery if needed. Because soil is heavy, it is priced by bed load rather than by the regular load chart, and we confirm the price on site before we start. Learn more about our soil & sod removal service →

Tree Branch & Firewood Removal
Old rotting firewood in your backyard is an eye sore and a fertile breeding ground for tree-killing grubs and insect larvae. Removing or burning all that rotten firewood is recommended unless you plan to use it in your fireplace or outdoor firepit. Although burning sounds like the easiest option, some local ordinances might prevent you from doing that. And this is where Orange Crew Junk Removal can help you. Our junk haulers will remove all the firewood, wood stumps, or tree branches from your property, clean up your backyard, and save your trees.

We Remove Stones, Pavers, Railroad Ties, etc.
Are you considering redesigning your backyard but don’t know what to do with old landscaping stones, concrete pavers, railroad ties, or other heavy items? At Orange Crew, we understand how this can be challenging for homeowners to find a way to get rid of such trash. But do not fret; contact us today, and we will come out, estimate your removal project, and remove all junk from your property the same day.
These are just a few examples of how Orange Crew junk haulers can help you reclaim your backyard. But it doesn’t have to be a backyard; we help commercial customers eliminate landscaping junk from their business premises. Orange Crew works with landscaping companies, property managers, realtors, residential builders, and others needing landscaping junk removal or yard cleanup.

Yard Waste Removal FAQ
The questions Chicago homeowners ask us most before booking a yard cleanup.
How much does yard waste removal cost in Chicago?
Light yard debris (leaves, brush, branches, fence panels) is priced by truck volume: $150 for 1/8 of a load up to $650 for a full 400-cubic-foot truck. Dirt, sod, gravel, pavers and railroad ties are priced separately by bed load. Estimates are free and there are no hidden fees. See the full chart on our pricing page.
How fast can you pick up my yard waste?
We offer same-day or next-day pickup in Chicago and most surrounding suburbs. Call early in the day for the best chance at a same-day slot, or book online and choose the time that suits you.
Do I need to bag or pile the debris before you arrive?
No. Our crews bring rakes, shovels and wheelbarrows and load the debris from wherever it sits. Gathering it in one spot can lower the price because the job goes faster, but it is not required.
Do you take dirt, sod, gravel and concrete pavers?
Yes. Heavy materials are a regular part of our soil and sod removal work. Because of weight limits and disposal costs they are priced by bed load rather than the standard chart, and we confirm the price on site before we start.
Can you take construction debris along with the yard waste?
Yes. Old decking, fence posts, concrete and other leftovers from a backyard project can go on the same truck. See our construction debris removal page for details.
Is there anything you cannot take?
We cannot accept hazardous materials such as pesticides, fertilizers in bulk, paint thinners, solvents or pool chemicals. If you have those, we will help you find a proper Chicago-area disposal facility. Everything else from a yard, from stumps to shed parts, is fine. See the full list of items we remove.
Which areas do you serve?
All of Chicago and Cook County from our office at 4747 W. Peterson Ave, plus the North Shore and Lake County (Northbrook office), NW Cook County and the Barrington area (Barrington office), and DuPage County and the west suburbs (Clarendon Hills office). See all service locations.
