About Our Backyard Cleanup Service
A backyard cleanup is one of the most satisfying jobs we do — a cluttered yard becomes usable space again in a single afternoon. We clear out everything that has piled up over the years: broken patio furniture, rotting wood, collapsed sheds, old play structures, dead planters, bags of leaves, leftover landscaping materials, and the random junk that always seems to migrate to the back of the property. Our crew brings its own tools, breaks down bulky items on site, and rakes the area before we leave. You point, we load — no need to drag anything to the curb yourself.
How Backyard Cleanup Works in Oshawa
- Walk the yard with you and confirm exactly what stays and what goes
- Break down large or awkward items (old swing sets, pergolas, raised beds) on site
- Hand-load everything into the truck so nothing gets dragged across your lawn
- Separate metal, wood and green waste for recycling and composting

Backyard cleanups are priced by the volume we haul ($35 per cubic yard, $55 minimum), so a quick single-corner tidy costs far less than a full end-of-season clear-out. Heavy materials like soil, brick or pavers may add a small weight surcharge — we always confirm that before loading.
We access most backyards through a standard side gate and carry everything out by hand, so there is no need for vehicle access to the rear. If your only path is through the house or a narrow laneway, just let us know and we will plan the route in advance.
Clean wood and brush are chipped or composted, metal is sent to a scrap recycler, and reusable items are donated where possible — typically 60%+ of a backyard load is diverted from landfill.

Can you remove an old shed during a backyard cleanup?

We do. Soil, sod, brick and gravel are heavy, so they are priced with a small weight allowance on top of the volume rate. We will give you that number up front before anything goes in the truck.
