The Service
What Yard Debris Removal Covers
Yard debris removal means we load and haul away the organic and outdoor waste piling up on your property: branches, brush, tree trimmings, old mulch, landscaping waste, storm debris, and the remains of outdoor projects. If you have been stacking limbs along the fence since the last ice storm, or a landscaping project left piles of clippings and old edging, we clear it in one visit and leave the yard clean.
Oklahoma generates yard debris like few other states. Spring tornado season drops limbs and sometimes entire trees across the metro. Ice storms in winter snap branches across every neighborhood from Edmond to Moore. Summer landscaping projects produce mountains of clippings, old mulch, and pulled shrubs. City bulk pickup programs have strict limits on volume and bundling, and a real storm cleanup almost always exceeds them. That gap is where we come in.
Storm timing matters here. After a significant storm rolls through Oklahoma City, every tree service and hauler in the metro gets slammed with calls. We prioritize storm debris calls and expand our schedule during severe weather periods, but calling early makes a real difference. If a storm has dropped debris across your yard, text us photos as soon as it is safe and we will get you on the schedule before the backlog builds.
Many yard debris jobs are straightforward single-visit calls, but a handful of recurring situations are worth mentioning. Rental property turnovers often need a quick backyard clear before new tenants move in. New home buyers in older neighborhoods around Capitol Hill or Southeast OKC sometimes inherit a yard the previous owner let go entirely, with years of leaf buildup and dead shrubs. HOA violation notices for overgrown lots push some calls too, and we can usually turn those around same-day or next-day to beat a compliance deadline.
On a typical call, we ask a few quick questions before we arrive: roughly how large the pile is, whether the debris is contained in one area or scattered across the yard, whether any limbs are tangled in power lines or leaning on structures, and whether there is truck access close to the pile or a long carry involved. None of these questions require precision on your end. A rough description and a few photos text message to 405-566-9730 is enough for us to send a crew with the right size truck and the right number of hands for the job, which keeps the visit efficient from the moment we pull up.
Once our crew arrives, the process moves fast. We walk the yard with you briefly to confirm the scope, then start loading immediately: branches get broken down to fit the truck efficiently, brush piles are forked and loaded by hand, and scattered debris gets raked into manageable piles before loading. A typical yard debris job, from truck arrival to a clean yard, takes anywhere from thirty minutes for a small pile to two or three hours for a full storm cleanup with scattered debris across a larger lot. You do not need to be present for the loading itself, only for the initial walkthrough and the final check before we leave.
Storm Debris and Seasonal Cleanup in OKC
Oklahoma's weather calendar drives our yard debris schedule. Tornado season from March through June brings the heaviest call volume, with wind and hail dropping limbs across the metro. The 2013 Moore tornado and countless smaller storms since have made every OKC resident aware of how fast a yard can go from clean to covered. Ice storms in January and February do similar damage in slow motion, snapping ice-loaded branches across entire neighborhoods.
Beyond storms, seasonal patterns keep yards generating debris year-round. Fall leaf and branch drop across established neighborhoods like Crown Heights and Mesta Park, spring landscaping refreshes in Edmond and Yukon, and summer tree trimming projects all produce more waste than city pickup handles. Rural-edge properties around Jones and east of the metro generate larger volumes still, with brush clearing and fence-line cleanup as regular work for us.
Scope is based on volume: how much of the truck your debris fills. A modest pile of branches is a quick single-visit job. A full storm cleanup with scattered debris across the yard takes more time, more hands, and more truck capacity. We quote firmly from photos or a quick look before any work begins. What we cannot take is concrete and hazardous materials; all organic debris and standard landscaping waste is fair game. Contact us for a free quote. Call or text 405-566-9730.
Comparing yard debris removal to doing it yourself is worth being honest about. Renting a chipper or hauling trailer for a weekend is a real time and equipment commitment on its own, and that does not include the hours spent dragging branches across the yard, the gas for multiple trips to a green waste facility, or the dump fees many facilities charge by the load. A full-service pickup replaces an entire exhausting weekend with a single visit, and it handles tangled brush and heavy limbs that are genuinely dangerous to move without the right equipment and technique.
City of Oklahoma City bulk waste pickup does handle some yard debris, but the rules are specific: branches must typically be cut to four feet or shorter and bundled, piles are capped at a certain size, and pickup only happens on your designated collection week, which can mean days or weeks of debris sitting at the curb drawing complaints from neighbors or HOA notices. After a real storm, volume blows past those limits immediately. We take debris in any condition, any volume, any day of the week, which is the entire reason full-service removal exists alongside city programs rather than replacing them.
A few scenarios come up repeatedly across the metro. A homeowner trims an overgrown privet hedge line and ends up with a brush pile too large for the trash cart. A family tears out an old wooden play set and is left with lumber, rotted wood, and the dirt disturbed underneath. A tree service takes down a dead oak and leaves the wood sectioned in the yard, expecting the homeowner to arrange hauling separately. Renters moving out of a house with an overgrown backyard need it cleared before a final walkthrough with a landlord. Each of these is routine work for us, and none require special arrangements beyond a normal call.
How It Works
Our Simple Process
Send Photos of the Pile
Text photos of the debris to 405-566-9730 or call and describe it. Tell us roughly how much there is, whether it is piled in one spot or scattered across the yard, whether any limbs are near power lines, and where you are in the OKC metro. Most yard debris quotes are given quickly from photos alone, often within minutes. After major storms, photos get you on the schedule fastest since we can triage call volume without a separate in-person visit for every job.
Schedule the Cleanup
Pick a window that works, including same-day service when you call before noon on a normal day. After storms we extend hours, add weekend slots, and sometimes run crews into the evening to work through the backlog, but early callers consistently get the earliest windows as the schedule fills. We confirm the appointment by text, and we text again when the truck is actually heading your way so you are not guessing at timing.
We Load Everything
Our crew gathers, loads, and hauls all the debris: branches, brush, trimmings, old mulch, and landscaping waste, regardless of how it is arranged in the yard. Scattered storm debris is raked and collected, not just the neat piles near the driveway. Large limbs are broken down or cut to fit the truck. We work through the yard systematically, section by section, and load everything in one visit. You do not need to bundle, bag, or drag anything to the curb beforehand.
Yard Left Clean
When the debris is loaded we do a final pass over the area, raking up leftover twigs and leaf litter so the yard is genuinely clean, not just mostly clean. We check fence lines and flower beds for stray debris that storm wind can tuck into corners. Organic debris goes to proper green waste processing where it is composted or mulched rather than landfilled when facilities allow. Your yard is ready to use, mow, or landscape again immediately after we leave.
Why Anthony's
Why OKC Chooses Us
Storm Season Veterans
We work Oklahoma storm seasons every year, and we know what the days after a big storm actually look like across the metro: downed limbs on every block, every tree service booked out, and homeowners competing for the same handful of haulers. When the metro gets hit, we extend hours, add crews, and prioritize storm debris calls to work through the backlog as fast as possible. Text photos early and you get the earliest available window. Your yard does not have to stay a debris field for weeks while you wait on callbacks that never come.
No Bundling, No Limits
City bulk pickup wants debris bundled, bagged, cut to length, and within strict volume limits, and even then it might sit at the curb for weeks waiting on your designated pickup date. We take it as it lies: unbundled branches, loose brush, scattered storm debris, and full landscaping project waste in any volume, on any day. One visit clears what would take months of compliant curb piles to work through under city rules, and nothing ever sits at your curb drawing neighbor complaints or HOA letters.
Whole-Yard Finish
We do not just grab the neat pile by the driveway and call it finished. Scattered debris gets raked and collected from every corner, the matted grass under where the pile sat gets cleared, and the yard gets a final visual pass before we leave. The difference between debris removed and a yard actually cleaned is the detail work at the end, and that detail work is included in every quote, not billed as an add-on. Your yard is ready to mow and use the moment we pull away.
Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Yard debris removal is scoped by volume, the same way most junk hauling is scoped. A modest pile of branches or brush is quick work. Larger cleanups, like full storm debris scattered across a yard or a big landscaping project with pulled shrubs and old edging, take more volume and more labor to reach and load. Tangled brush and heavy limbs that take extra time to break down add to that labor. We give you a firm free quote before any work begins, usually from photos you text to us, and the quoted price never changes once we arrive and start loading. Contact us for a free quote.

Yes, and storm debris is some of our most important work in Oklahoma. After severe weather hits the OKC metro, we extend our schedule, add crews, and prioritize storm cleanup calls over routine jobs until the backlog clears. Text photos of the damage as soon as it is safe to go outside, including any limbs near power lines so we can plan safely around them. We will get you scheduled as early as the day allows. Demand spikes hard after major storms, with call volume sometimes tripling overnight, so early contact genuinely gets you an earlier window on the schedule rather than a multi-week wait.
Branches, brush, tree trimmings, leaves, old mulch, grass clippings in volume, pulled shrubs, landscaping waste, old edging, fencing lumber, and general outdoor project debris. We also take yard-adjacent items like old planters, broken patio furniture, retired play equipment, and dead sod pulled up for a renovation. Storm debris of all kinds, from small twigs to full tree sections our crew can handle without specialized equipment, is included. The only consistent exclusions are concrete and hazardous materials. If your project produced something unusual, describe it when you call and we will confirm quickly.
No. Unlike city bulk pickup, we take debris exactly as it lies: unbundled branches, loose brush, scattered storm debris, and unpiled landscaping waste scattered across the yard. Our crew gathers, loads, and hauls everything, and we rake and collect scattered material rather than only taking neat piles that are already convenient to grab. You do not need to drag anything to the curb, cut branches to a specific length, or bag anything in advance. The entire physical job transfers to us from the moment we arrive on your property.
We remove fallen limbs, branches, and smaller fallen trees that can be handled without specialized tree service equipment like cranes or stump grinders. For large standing trees that need to come down, or major tree work involving heavy equipment, you need a licensed tree service, and we are happy to recommend the common division of labor: the tree service cuts it down and sections it, and we haul away all the resulting debris afterward. Many OKC customers use us exactly this way after tree work, since tree services often charge premium rates for debris hauling compared to a dedicated junk removal crew.
After major storms, call volume across the metro spikes immediately as every homeowner with downed limbs reaches for the phone at once, so the honest answer is: the earlier you contact us, the earlier your window. Text photos to 405-566-9730 as soon as it is safe to be outside after the storm passes. We extend hours, add weekend slots, and sometimes run crews into the evening during storm recovery periods to work through the backlog as fast as possible. For non-storm, routine yard debris, same-day service is usually available when you call before noon on a normal business day.
Organic yard debris goes to proper green waste processing facilities where it is composted or turned into mulch rather than landfilled, whenever local facilities allow and accept that type of material. This keeps organic matter in a useful cycle instead of taking up landfill space for no reason. Non-organic landscaping waste like old edging, fencing lumber, or broken planters is disposed of properly at licensed facilities instead. Responsible routing is included in every yard debris job we run across the OKC metro, at no extra charge to you.
Call or text 405-566-9730, or use the contact form on this site. Texting photos of the debris gets you the fastest quote, usually within minutes, since we can estimate volume and labor without a separate visit. Tell us roughly how much there is, whether it is storm damage or a routine project, and where you are in the metro. If you approve the free quote, we schedule your cleanup window around your timeline. Same-day and next-day slots are available throughout Oklahoma City, Edmond, Yukon, Mustang, Moore, Norman, Bethany, Jones, Midwest City, and the surrounding communities.
