Can you take a pile that's been sitting for months?

Yes — settled brush piles, half-decomposed limbs, weathered wood fencing all load fine. Mention how much has been sitting so we bring the right truck.

Do you take pesticides or weed killer in with the yard waste?

No. Pesticides, weed killer, fuel, and other hazardous liquids can't legally ride in our truck. Ulster County residents can route those through UCRRA's household hazardous waste program — we'll point you to the right drop-off.

Do you handle large branches or whole tree tops?

Yes — branches, limbs, and tree tops after a takedown. We don't do the tree work itself, but if a tree service left the wood on the ground, we haul it.

How is yard debris priced?

Volume-based, like everything else — the space the material takes up in the truck. Free upfront quote, confirmed on arrival before we load.

Home / Services / Debris Removal / Yard Debris Removal

Swift Junk Removal hauls yard debris across New Paltz, Kingston, Poughkeepsie, Newburgh, Beacon and the Hudson Valley — brush piles from a spring clearing, branches from a limb that finally came down, old fencing, cracked planters, the pile of yard bags that outgrew the town pickup schedule.

What we take: brush, branches, limbs, leaves, grass clippings in bags, old wood fencing, split planters, rotted decking scraps, and general yard material. What we can't take: hazardous liquids like pesticides, weed killer, or fuel — those go through the county's household hazardous waste program (in Ulster County, run through UCRRA) instead of our truck.

Volume-based pricing, free upfront quote, confirmed on arrival. Same-day pickup is often available when routes allow.
