Fall Yard & Storm Debris Cleanup: Dumpster Rental in North Texas (2026)

Fall in North Texas means two kinds of cleanup at once: the steady drop of oak, pecan, and elm leaves, and whatever the last round of thunderstorms tore off your trees. Both pile up faster than curbside bags can handle — and burning brush is restricted in much of Fannin, Lamar, and Hunt counties during dry spells.

A single 16-yard roll-off solves both problems in one weekend. We deliver across Honey Grove, Bonham, Paris, Greenville, and the rest of our North Texas service area, usually same-day or next-day.

What size dumpster do I need for yard waste? Yard waste is bulky but light, so volume matters more than weight. A 16-yard roll-off holds roughly 6–8 full pickup truck loads. In practice that covers:

• Leaf and brush cleanup on a typical quarter- to half-acre lot
• One or two downed medium trees cut into sections
• Fence panels, limbs, and shingle debris from a single storm
• Landscaping tear-out: old shrubs, sod, edging, and mulch

Dirt, sod, rock, and concrete are far heavier than brush. If your cleanup includes those, tell us when you book so we can plan the tonnage — see our size guide for the full breakdown.

Storm debris cleanup after a North Texas storm After a wind or hail event, the debris pile usually mixes yard waste with building material — shingles, fence pickets, gutters, insulation. That mix is fine in one bin, and having it staged in a container instead of at the curb makes the insurance adjuster's visit easier and keeps nails out of tires.

If you're waiting on a roofer, a bin on site lets the crew tear off and load in the same trip. See our roofing dumpster rental guide for shingle tonnage numbers.

Can I burn brush instead? Sometimes — but burn bans are common in North Texas in late summer and fall, and they change week to week. Check the [Texas A&M Forest Service burn ban map](https://tfsweb.tamu.edu/BurnBans/) before you light anything. A dumpster works regardless of the ban status, and there's no smoke complaint from a neighbor.

What can't go in a yard waste dumpster? Brush, leaves, limbs, sod, lumber, and fence material are all fine. Keep out paint, solvents, fertilizer and pesticide containers, propane tanks, tires, and appliances with refrigerant. Our [full prohibited items list](/blog/what-cannot-go-in-a-dumpster) covers the details, and the [EPA's household hazardous waste guide](https://www.epa.gov/hw/household-hazardous-waste-hhw) explains where those items should go instead.

How much does a fall cleanup dumpster cost? Our 16-yard roll-off [starts at $300 for 1 day and $375 for 3 days](/pricing), including delivery, pickup, and 2 tons of disposal. Leaves and brush almost never hit the 2-ton limit, so most fall cleanups land at the flat rate with no overage. If your load includes dirt, sod, or rock, weight over 2 tons is billed at the landfill's per-ton rate with no markup.

Landscapers and tree crews If you clear properties for a living, a standing weekly or biweekly pull beats trailering loads to the transfer station. [Open a recurring contractor account](/contractors) and we'll hold a slot on the route for you through the whole fall season.
