Yard Waste Removal in Cochrane, Alberta

Yard Waste in Cochrane Isn't a Simple Dump-and-Run

Cochrane sits on the edge of the Bow River valley, and that geography shapes what ends up in your yard. The chinook winds that blow through here snap branches off spruce and poplar every winter. The clay-heavy soil that makes our gardens drain so slowly also means you're digging out a lot of old sod and dirt when you level a backyard. And if you live up on the west side near Fireside or down in Heartland, you've likely got more than a few truckloads of debris after a spring cleanup.

I'm TJ, and I've been hauling this stuff out of Cochrane yards for years. I know what ends up in a pile here — and I know what the landfill and the transfer station will and won't take. That's half the job.

What I'll Haul From Your Cochrane Property

• Branches, logs, and tree trimmings after a chinook or after you've had a tree service in
• Sod, soil, and dirt from leveling or regrading — especially common on new-build lots in Sunset Ridge and The Quarry
• Old mulch, bark chips, and garden waste
• Stumps and roots (I'll haul them whole, no need to cut them into pieces you can't lift)
• Greenhouse and greenhouse-frame debris, old fence panels, and rotted deck boards
• Whatever's left after a shed tear-down on an acreage out on Highway 22 or West Valley

I don't mix your yard waste with household junk. If you want it kept separate for composting or for a specific drop-off, I'll keep it separate. Just tell me before I load.

How It Works Here

You don't need to be home for the whole job if you don't want to. Most Cochrane folks leave the pile at the curb or in the driveway, send me a photo, and I haul it. I'll give you a straight price over the phone before I come out — no surprises when the truck pulls up.

For bigger jobs — full backyard cleanouts, acreage brush piles, or a whole lot of dirt from a landscaping project — I'll come by and eyeball it first. I'm in Cochrane regularly, so a quick site visit is usually no trouble.

One thing that catches people off guard: the Cochrane landfill charges by weight for yard waste, and green bins only take so much. If you've got more than a couple bins' worth, you're looking at multiple trips or a rental. That's where a haul comes in. I take it all in one load and you don't spend your Saturday at the dump.

What It Costs

Pricing depends on one thing: how much space your waste takes up in the truck. A small load of branches or trimmings usually runs $100 to $150 — an eighth to a quarter truck. A full truckload of sod, dirt, or mixed yard waste is $500, and heavy material like dirt carries a small weight surcharge. Acreage brush piles and big demolition debris get quoted the same way — by the load.

I'll give you a firm number before I load a single thing. If I quote you $250, that's what you pay. No hidden fees, no "well, it was heavier than I thought" add-ons.

Neighbourhoods I Cover

I work all of Cochrane — Fireside, Heartland, Sunset Ridge, The Quarry, River Heights, and the older established areas near downtown. I also head out to the acreages along Highway 22, West Valley, and the country subdivisions around town. If you're inside town limits or within a short drive of Cochrane, I'll come to you.

Give me a call at (825) 559-2766 and tell me what you've got. I'll get you a price and a time, and get that pile out of your yard.
