Yard Waste Removal

Spring clean up. Tree pruning season. Piles of fallen leaves.

At certain times of the year, you may be overwhelmed by the sheer volume of yard and garden waste heaped in your backyard. Island Junk Removal Solutions garden waste removal services take care of nature’s waste for you, ensuring the bulk of these materials are eventually turned back into soil.

Our service area includes the entire southern Island, from Sidney to the Cowichan Valley, and even the Gulf Islands. If you live outside the boundaries of our main service area, give us a call, and we’ll outline any additional travel costs to your neck of the woods.

Is it Compostable?

Some natural materials cannot be included with regular garden waste disposal. The CRD defines yard and garden waste as:

“Organic materials, substances or objects including, but not necessarily limited to, grass, lawn and hedge clippings, grass sod, flowers, weeds, leaves, vegetable stalks, shrubs, and shrub and tree branches less than 75 mm (3 inches) in diameter.”

This includes kitchen scraps, which were banned from regular household garbage disposal in 2015. Many people compost their own kitchen scraps and yard waste, but find that the compost pile overflows from time to time. In that case, we can help! Compost is important to the natural ecosystem, and we know what to do if you find yourself with too much of this natural resource.

Are there any natural materials that can’t be composted?

The answer is yes, but we know how to dispose of these items too. Invasive species like English ivy and Scotch broom must be properly handled and included with regular garbage disposal. The CRD lists morning glory, blackberry, wild mustard, ox-eye daisy, wild carrot, couch grass and poison hemlock among other plants that require special care.
