Yard debris removal prices in Cleveland
First item / additional item
Contractor bag$69 / $20
The highest first-item price applies once. Every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Applicable sales tax is shown before payment.
Brush, leaves and yard debris are collected on the city route, with a one-trailer-load weekly brush limit and specific size and bagging rules.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no charge for brush or yard-waste collection. Confirm the route day and any current charge with Public Works.
When & how
Yard waste goes out on the household's weekly route day, curbside by 7 a.m. or the evening before, in a pile separate from other bulk and debris items.
Get it ready
Keep brush to one trailer load a week, no thicker than 24 inches, with pieces of 15 to 24 inches cut to no more than 2 feet and smaller pieces no more than 7 feet, free of debris and with no stumps or trunks. Bag leaves and grass clippings outside October through February, and use clear bags.
Curb the evening before or by 7 a.m. on the route day
The city ordinance allows items at the curb as early as the evening before a scheduled removal day. Put them where Public Works equipment can reach them, without creating a traffic hazard and clear of fences, mailboxes and wires.
Keep yard waste in its own pile and bag it in clear plastic
Yard waste goes in a separate pile from other bulk and debris items, leaves and grass clippings are bagged outside October through February, and every bag set out for this collection has to be clear plastic, because dark bags look like household garbage and are left behind.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.
City of Cleveland addresses inside the city limits with household furniture, mattresses or similar bulk items, or with brush and bagged yard waste.
Cost & conditions
The city publishes no charge for this route. Confirm the item, the route day and any current charge with Public Works.
Arrange it
Find the household's route with the street or address search, then set the material out the evening before or by 7 a.m. on the route day.
Demolition debris, hazardous material such as paint and motor oil, tires, block, concrete, dirt, shingles and lot-clearing debris are not collected, and a pile that could damage the equipment is left.
Two systems cover this address. Inside the city, Public Works runs the weekly bulk, brush and yard-waste routes, and it loans a dump truck once a month for regular junk, free of charge and unavailable in November and December; demolition debris, hazardous material, tires, block, concrete, dirt and shingles stay out of both. Outside that route, Bradley County recycles white goods, batteries, used oil and tires for a fee at the landfill on Nature's Trail in McDonald, and runs two recycling yards in Cleveland for glass, paper, cans and plastics. Household garbage is a separate contracted service through Waste Connections rather than a city route, and the county facilities no longer accept electronics.
