yard and debris
kalamazoo.
A summer thunderstorm rolls across Kalamazoo County, the oaks in Milwood and the pines around Texas Township drop limbs everywhere, and the city's brush pickup is weeks out. The crew loads branches, brush, old fencing, deck boards and the drywall from a bathroom remodel by hand and hauls it, often the same day. No dumpster blocking the driveway.

What goes on the truck.
Loads with the crew
- Storm branches, brush and stumps already pulled
- Fence panels, posts and gates
- Deck boards, railings and pergolas
- Drywall, trim, cabinets and flooring from remodels
- Small sheds and playsets, disassembled by the crew
- Pavers, bricks and bagged concrete in small quantities
Stays behind, and why
- Full loads of dirt, concrete or roofing shingles (those need a dumpster, the crew will tell you)
- Hazardous materials such as paint, solvents, asbestos tile and propane
Before the crew arrives.
Pile everything where the truck can reach, ideally the driveway edge.
Cut limbs to eight feet or less if you can; shorter loads faster.
Keep concrete, brick, shingles and dirt separate from the light debris.
Pull nails or warn the crew about them.
How it is priced.
Debris in Kalamazoo is priced by the load, a little higher per load than household junk because it is heavier. Brush is the cheapest, lumber and drywall sit in the middle, and concrete, shingles and dirt are quoted by weight so they do not inflate the rest.

Branches, brush and leaves go to a yard waste facility for grinding and composting. Clean lumber is separated, metal fencing goes to a recycler, and drywall and mixed remodel debris go to a licensed construction and demolition facility.
Mission log.
The Kalamazoo crew answers these on the phone every day. Here they are in writing.
(269) 788-1199Q 01Can you clear limbs the day after a Kalamazoo storm?
The crew adds routes after a storm. Call early for same day; it becomes next day as the backlog grows.
Q 02Fence sections with concrete still on the posts?
Yes. The footings are priced by weight and kept separate. Knock them off and the price drops.
Q 03Drywall and cabinets from a Portage remodel?
Yes. Pile it in the garage or driveway and the crew loads from there.
Q 04Cheaper than a dumpster?
For one load, usually yes, and nothing sits in your driveway. For a full gut, a dumpster may win. The crew will tell you which.
Q 05Dirt, sod and landscape rock?
Small amounts, by weight. A truckload of fill is a landscaper's job.
Q 06Can the crew cut up a tree that came down in Kalamazoo?
Limbs and small trunks, yes. A big trunk is a tree service job; the crew hauls what they leave.
Q 07A collapsing shed in Comstock?
Yes. The crew can knock down a small shed and haul it. Send photos and say whether it has a concrete floor.
Q 08Where do the branches and brush go after a Kalamazoo pickup?
To a yard waste facility in the county where they are ground into mulch and compost. Nothing green from a Kalamazoo yard is buried in a landfill.
Point the Kalamazoo crew at it. Consider it handled.
Say what needs to go and roughly when. You get a call back with a window and a ballpark, and the firm price happens at your door.
