Yard waste dumpster rental for landscapers
Room for brush, branches and cleared growth, with a 10-yard roll-off for sod and soil.
Yard waste dumpster rental from Blue Sky Disposal handles brush, branches, leaves and cleared growth from landscaping jobs. We are based in Clinton Township and serve crews and homeowners across Michigan. Brush is light and bulky, so it is sized by volume. Sod, soil and dirt are heavy, so they go in a 10-yard roll-off as their own clean load.

How landscaping rentals work
- Pick the job size in the yard-waste calculator and say whether sod or dirt is mixed in. Sod roughly triples the weight estimate.
- Choose a roll-off, or a rubber-wheeled dumpster for a lawn or driveway in the counties where we run them.
- Keep sod and soil in a separate 10-yard roll-off. Heavy loads must be clean.
- Roll-offs include 14 days and rubber-wheeled dumpsters include 7. Extra days are billed per day.
Brush versus sod and soil
Brush and green waste are light, at roughly 80 pounds per cubic yard in our estimate. Brush mixed with sod or dirt is estimated at about 240 pounds per cubic yard.
Clean soil runs about 1.35 tons per cubic yard. That is why sod strips and soil go in a 10-yard roll-off. Qualifying online orders for that heavy load include a refundable weight deposit.
Placement on lawns and drives
Lawn placement works for both dumpster types, and the size follows the load.
A rubber-wheeled dumpster rolls on soft tires instead of steel rails. For a roll-off on a driveway, boards under the rails are available on request.
The truck needs a clear path, so watch for low wires and branches over the drop spot. Street placement can need a city permit.
What stays out
Paint, oil, chemicals, batteries and tires are not allowed. Check the shed and garage for these and set them aside before loading.
If a landscaping job also turns up concrete pavers or block, those go in the 10-yard roll-off with the other heavy material, not in the brush load.
Common questions
Can I put stumps in a yard waste dumpster?
Yes. Broken stumps can go in with yard waste. Root balls that carry a lot of dirt add weight, so knock off what you can first.
Can sod go in the same dumpster as brush?
Not as a large load. Sod and soil are heavy and go in a 10-yard roll-off as a clean load. A little dirt on brush is normal, but say so in the calculator so the weight estimate is right.
What size dumpster do I need for a full yard cleanup?
A full yard cleanup usually fits a 20-yard. Bags and branches often fit a 10-yard. Major clearing with small trees still tends to fit a 20-yard because brush is light.
How is weight charged on yard waste?
Your quote shows the included weight and the extra-ton rate for that size and address. The load is weighed at the disposal facility after pickup. Weight above the allowance is billed at the rate on your quote.
