Debris removal
Commercial debris removal, cleared and hauled away
Commercial debris removal is the unglamorous job that decides how the rest of the property performs. Limbs in a drive lane, leaves packed into catch basins, pallets and tenant fit-out waste behind a building all turn into safety complaints, clogged storm lines and damaged plows. Our crews clear it with company-owned skid steers, loaders and dump trucks, and haul it off site in the same job.
Cleared, not relocated
Debris leaves the property. It is not pushed into the tree line or piled behind the dumpster enclosure for someone to find in spring.
Self-performed
The same 50–75 field and supervisory staff who run our commercial snow removal routes do the cleanup, so nothing is subcontracted.
One contract
Cleanup runs under the same agreement as grounds, snow and janitorial, with one point of contact and one certificate of insurance.
What we clear
Six kinds of debris commercial properties deal with
Most sites need more than one of these in a year. They are priced as a single visit or folded into a year-round maintenance program.
Storm debris
Fallen limbs, uprooted shrubs and blown debris cleared from lots, drive lanes and entrances after wind and ice storms.
Fall cleanup
Leaves blown out of beds and curb lines, perennials cut back and material hauled before it mats down under snow.
Brush & overgrowth
Overgrown edges, fence lines and vacant parcels cut back, with brush chipped or hauled.
Yard & dock clutter
Broken pallets, dunnage and packaging cleared from truck courts and loading areas.
Fit-out & renovation waste
Non-hazardous material left from tenant turnovers and small renovation projects removed.
Dumping & abandoned items
Illegally dumped furniture, tires and bulk items removed from lots and back-of-house areas.
Fall cleanup
Why fall cleanup is the first step of a snow plan
Debris left on a site in November causes problems all winter. Clearing it first makes every storm easier and cheaper to handle.
Drains stay open
Leaves washed into inlets block the catch basins meltwater needs, which is how refreeze and ice at entrances start. See stormwater basin maintenance.
Plows hit pavement
Limbs and debris hidden under the first snowfall damage plow blades, curbs and landscape edges.
Stack zones are ready
Snow storage areas cleared and marked during the preseason site walk, before the ground freezes.
How it works
From site walk to a clean property
Site walk
We walk the property with you and photograph what needs to go.
Scope & price
A written scope and a fixed price for the visit or the season.
Clear & haul
Crews and equipment arrive together, work around your traffic and haul the material off site.
Hand back
A walk-through of the finished site, and a note of anything that needs repair.
Service area
Debris removal along the Exit 8A corridor
Crews and equipment dispatch from our yard in Cranbury, so corridor properties are close to the trucks, which matters most after a storm.
Questions
Commercial debris removal questions
Anything not covered here, call us or use the quote form at the top of the page.
Do you respond to storm debris after hours?
Yes. Fallen trees and debris blocking access are handled through our 24/7 emergency response line.
Where does the debris go?
It is hauled off site to appropriate disposal or recycling facilities. Brush can be chipped where that suits the site. Hazardous materials are not part of this service.
Is fall cleanup part of a landscaping contract?
It can be. Most clients add it to grounds and landscape management, but it is also available as a single visit.
Why clear leaves out of catch basins?
Blocked inlets back water up onto pavement, where it freezes. Keeping storm systems working is part of site stormwater responsibilities described in the New Jersey DEP stormwater rules.
Can you work while the site is open?
Yes. Warehouses, campuses and medical sites stay open while crews phase the work around traffic, loading and visitor hours.
