Yard Waste Dumpster Rental in New Braunfels, TX
Yard waste piles up faster than most people expect, and it weighs more than it looks. We deliver dumpsters sized for everything from a weekend cleanup to a full brush clearing job across New Braunfels, with flat rate pricing and same day delivery on most orders. Call (830) 381-6680 and tell us what you are clearing.

What Size Dumpster Do You Need for Yard Waste?
Most residential yard cleanups fit a 10 or 15 yard container. Larger landscaping overhauls, tree removal, or land clearing jobs need more room.
| Project | Recommended Size |
|---|---|
| Weekend cleanup, leaves, small branches | 10 yard |
| Shrub removal, moderate brush, small tree limbs | 15 yard |
| Full landscape redesign, several trees worth of brush | 20 yard |
| Land clearing, storm debris, large scale brush removal | 30 yard |
If you are not sure how much you are clearing, tell us roughly how many trees, shrubs, or how much square footage is involved. We would rather size it right the first time than have you order a second container.
Wet vs Dry: Why Yard Waste Weighs More Than It Looks
Yard waste is one of the most misjudged materials we haul, because weight depends heavily on moisture. Dry leaves and brush are light and fill a container by volume long before they hit a weight limit. Wet sod, soaked branches after rain, and freshly cut green material can weigh two to three times as much as the same pile once it dries out.
This matters most right after a storm or during wet stretches of the year, when branches and cleared brush are heavier than they look. If your yard waste includes sod, dirt, or anything cut and hauled the same day, mention it when you call. We would rather size up than have a container hit its weight limit while it still looks half full.

Cedar and Brush Clearing in the Hill Country
Cedar and mesquite clearing is a regular part of property maintenance across the New Braunfels area and the surrounding Hill Country, whether it is thinning cedar for fire management, clearing a lot before building, or managing overgrowth on a larger property. This kind of debris behaves differently than typical yard waste. Cedar is dense and brush piles compact less than they appear to, which means a load that looks manageable can add up fast once it is actually in the container.
For larger clearing jobs, a 20 or 30 yard container usually makes more sense than trying to handle it in stages with a smaller size. Tell us whether the job involves cut brush, whole trees, or stump material, since stumps and root balls affect both weight and how the load settles in the container.
What Goes In, and What Doesn’t
- Leaves, grass clippings, and general lawn debris
- Branches, brush, and small tree limbs
- Shrubs, hedge trimmings, and garden waste
- Sod and small amounts of dirt, mixed with other yard debris
- Cedar, mesquite, and general brush clearing material
- Storm debris, including downed limbs and broken branches
What stays out: large amounts of dirt, rock, or gravel on their own, which need a container sized differently for weight, along with treated lumber, fencing with attached hardware, and any construction debris that should go in one of our other service pages instead.
When a Dumpster Beats Curbside Pickup
Most municipal yard waste collection works fine for routine mowing and small trimming, but it has real limits. Curbside programs typically require branches bundled to a specific length and weight, often 4 feet and under 40 to 50 pounds per bundle, with limits on how many bundles go out per collection.
Those limits work for weekly upkeep. They do not work for a weekend project that generates a full trailer of brush, a storm that brings down several large limbs at once, or a land clearing job. A dumpster removes the bundling requirement entirely and gives you one place to load everything on your own schedule instead of waiting for a scheduled pickup date. It is also a straightforward way to clear brush without burning it, which matters given how often Comal County burn bans are in effect during dry stretches of the year.

Common Questions About Yard Waste Dumpster Rental
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur. Condimentum risus eu et lacus et eget.
Most weekend cleanups fit a 10 or 15 yard dumpster. Larger jobs like tree removal, land clearing, or full landscape redesigns usually need a 20 or 30 yard.
Small amounts mixed with other yard debris are fine. Large amounts of dirt or sod on their own need a container sized for weight, so mention it when you order.
Moisture is the main factor. Wet sod and freshly cut branches can weigh two to three times as much as the same material once it dries, which is why weight, not just volume, matters when sizing a container.
Small amounts are fine, but rock and gravel in any real quantity are heavy enough to need a container sized differently. Ask us before loading a significant amount.
For routine mowing and small trimming, curbside works fine. For a full cleanup, storm debris, or a clearing project, a dumpster removes bundling limits and lets you load on your own schedule.
Yes. Cedar and mesquite clearing is common across the Hill Country, and we size containers for both the volume and the density of that kind of brush.
