Yard Waste & Storm Debris Dumpsters across Dothan and Houston County
Green waste is the one category where keeping the load clean makes a dramatic difference to what it costs. Branches, brush, leaves, grass and untreated timber can be composted or mulched. The moment somebody throws a bag of household rubbish or a length of treated fence post in with it, the whole load becomes general waste and it is priced that way.
So the rule for yard waste containers is simple and worth enforcing on site: if it did not grow, it does not go in.
Storm season in the Wiregrass
Southeast Alabama gets hit. Tropical systems reach this far inland, tornado season is real, and a bad straight-line wind event will fill every street in a neighbourhood with limbs overnight. Hurricane Michael put debris across the whole region in 2018 and people were still clearing it months later.
After a significant event, municipal debris collection gets overwhelmed and the timeline stretches. A container on your own property means the pile is gone this week rather than whenever the truck reaches your street. We hold capacity back for storm response and we will be straight with you about the wait when demand spikes.
Tree work and land clearing
Tree removal generates far more volume than anyone estimates, because branches do not stack. A single mature tree can fill a 20 yard container once the crown is down, even though the same material chipped would occupy a fraction of the space.
Stumps and large-diameter trunk sections are a call-first item — some facilities handle them and some will not, and they are heavy. Let us know if there are stumps in the job and we will confirm before delivery rather than leaving you with material we cannot take.
Land clearing on rural Wiregrass acreage is a bigger conversation again. Volume, access down a long farm drive and ground conditions all matter, so ring and describe the site.
Keeping the load green
What goes in: branches, limbs, brush, leaves, grass clippings, hedge trimmings, garden waste, untreated natural timber, and palm or shrub material.
What does not: treated or painted timber, pressure-treated fence posts, railway sleepers, plastic pots and sheeting, plastic bags of any kind, soil and rocks in quantity, general household waste, and anything from the prohibited list. Soil in particular pushes a green load over weight fast — that belongs in a heavy debris container.
Rain is the other factor. Wet vegetation is considerably heavier than dry, and an open container that takes a week of Alabama summer storms can gain surprising tonnage. If a container is close to full and heavy weather is forecast, call and we will get it collected.

Answers
Yard Waste & Storm Debris — your questions
Why does yard waste need its own container?
Because a clean green load can be composted or mulched, which is significantly cheaper to dispose of than general waste. Contaminate it with household rubbish, plastic or treated timber and the entire load is reclassified and priced as mixed waste.
Can I put stumps in a yard waste dumpster?
Ask first. Some facilities accept stumps and large trunk sections and some do not, and they are heavy enough to change the sizing. Mention them when you book and we will confirm before delivery rather than leaving you with material we cannot take away.
How fast can you deliver after a storm?
We keep capacity back for storm response, but after a major event across the Wiregrass demand rises sharply and everyone calls at once. Ring as early as you can and we will give you a realistic time rather than an optimistic one.
Can I include the old fence I pulled down?
Only if it is untreated natural timber. Pressure-treated posts, painted timber, railway sleepers and anything with hardware through it will contaminate a green load. Those go in a general construction container instead — mention both and we will work out the cheapest combination.
Does rain make the load heavier?
Considerably. Wet vegetation weighs far more than dry, and an open container sitting through a week of Alabama summer storms can gain real tonnage. If your container is close to full and heavy weather is coming, call us and we will collect it early.
