How our pricing worksWhat we take
Dump Ninja Junk Removal hauls yard and green waste in Woodland. The hedge that finally came out. The brush pile behind the shed that’s been “next weekend” since spring. The branches all over the lawn after a Sacramento Valley windstorm. We’re the crew for the pile that’s too big for the green bin and too much for one trip in the back of a car.
One clarification up front, because it saves everyone a call. Weekly curbside green waste in Woodland is the city’s franchise hauler. Dump Ninja is the one-time or big-job option. If the pile would take twenty weeks of bins, that’s us.
Here’s what goes in the 21-yard truck on a Woodland yard job:
- Brush, branches, and limbs from tree work that’s already done
- Palm fronds, and lots of them
- Hedge trimmings, shrubs pulled out roots and all
- Leaves, pine needles, and the season’s worth of raking
- Grass clippings and old mulch
- Sod, dirt, and rock from a lawn conversion, priced by weight
- Dead plants, old planters, and bagged garden waste
- Storm debris: downed limbs, broken fence boards, blown-over shade sails
- Old pavers, edging, and the rusted wheelbarrow that’s been out there for years
What we don’t do
Dump Ninja doesn’t cut trees or trim hedges. That’s a tree service or a landscaper. We haul what’s already on the ground. If your Woodland yard has a stump or big trunk sections, that’s heavy material and we’ll quote it on site by weight rather than volume.
What we can’t take
Asbestos, medical waste, ammunition, and wet-cell batteries. Pesticides, fertilizers, and pool chemicals in limited quantities. Ask us. Small amounts we can usually take. Larger amounts go to the county’s household hazardous waste drop-off, and we’ll tell you where.
How it works
Yard waste removal from Dump Ninja in Woodland runs the same four steps as every job we do. It just uses more rakes.
- You call, text, or book online. Tell us what’s in the pile and where it sits. Front yard, backyard, side yard, behind a gate. A photo by text helps us bring the right gear.
- We come look. Two people in uniform, on the day we agreed. We walk the yard with you and check for anything heavy, like sod or stumps, that’s priced differently.
- We name the price on site. One number for the whole yard, before a branch moves. If it’s more than you expected, say no and we’ll leave. No fee for looking.
- If you say go, we load, sweep, and leave. Pitchforks, rakes, and tarps for the loose stuff. Then a blower across the patio and the walkways so you’re not finding leaves for a week.
Most Woodland yard jobs take an hour or two. A whole-yard cleanup after a winter of neglect can take longer, and we’ll tell you honestly. You don’t have to be home. Leave the gate unlatched and we’ll send a photo of the empty yard and take payment by text.
What it costs
Dump Ninja quotes yard waste in Woodland on site, by volume. How much room the pile takes in the truck is the number. Green waste is light and bulky, which is exactly where a big truck earns its keep. We run a 21-yard truck. Most haulers run 10 to 15. A season of brush that means one trip for us can mean two for someone else, and that’s why we don’t post a load price. We come look and name it in person.
What’s included:
- All the labor. Two people, loading everything with rakes, forks, and tarps.
- The sweep-up. Patios, walkways, and the spot where the pile sat get blown clean.
- Disposal, including the fees at the Yolo County Central Landfill’s green-waste program, where clean loads get composted instead of buried.
What can add to the price: heavy material like sod, dirt, rock, or stumps, which is priced by weight. A long haul from a backyard with no gate access. Anything that has to come apart first, like an old shade structure. We handle all of it. You get the whole number on site, before anything moves.
Why Woodland homeowners call Dump Ninja
Because the yard looks better when we leave than it did when the pile was there. The sweep-up is what Woodland customers mention most, and on a yard job it’s the difference between “the brush is gone” and “the backyard is back.”

Whoever pulls up, Roman, Fabian, Rich, or Jeremy, the job goes the same way. Dump Ninja is a local crew on Matmor Road in Woodland, not a franchise script, with 5.0 stars across 470 Google reviews and a BBB A+ rating, fully insured on every job. We also keep green waste out of the landfill when the load lets us, which is part of why we diverted more than a thousand cubic yards last year.
And we know Woodland yards. Big lots out by Wild Wings, older trees in Beamer Park, the palms along the Spring Lake streets. Every one of those drops a different kind of mess, and we’ve hauled all of it.
Where we serve
Dump Ninja stages the trucks on Matmor Road in Woodland, so a yard pickup anywhere in town is a short drive, and the Yolo County Central Landfill on County Road 28H is minutes from the shop. That’s how we can dump a load of brush and come straight back for a second one.
Davis and El Macero are about twenty minutes down Highway 113, and their mature trees keep us busy every fall. West Sacramento is a straight shot down I-5. Knights Landing is a quick run north. Esparto, Madison, and the Capay Valley are an easy drive west on Highway 16, and the bigger rural lots out there make for some of our biggest brush piles. Winters and Dixon are a little farther but firmly on our regular routes. Anywhere in Yolo County with a pile that’s outgrown the green bin, Dump Ninja can be there.
We don’t serve Elk Grove, Roseville, or Fairfield. If your yard’s outside our area, we’ll tell you on the first call.

Straight answers
Yard & Green Waste Removal questions, answered.
Is this the same as my weekly green-waste bin?
No. Weekly curbside green waste in Woodland is handled by the city's franchise hauler. Dump Ninja is the one-time or big-job option: the brush pile that would take twenty weeks of bins, the storm branches, the whole hedge that came out. Call us when the pile is bigger than the bin.
Do you cut down trees or trim hedges?
No. Dump Ninja hauls what's already been cut. Tree work and hedge trimming belong to a tree service or landscaper. Once the branches and trimmings are on the ground at your Woodland property, we load them, sweep the yard, and haul them away.
Can you take palm fronds and stumps?
Palm fronds, yes, and Dump Ninja hauls plenty of them in Woodland. Stumps and large sections of trunk are heavy material and we quote them on site by weight. Tell us when you call so the crew brings the right tools and the right truck.
What about storm debris after a winter windstorm?
That's one of our busiest calls every Sacramento Valley winter. Dump Ninja hauls downed limbs, broken fence boards, blown-over shade structures, and the mess that comes with them from yards across Woodland and Yolo County. Call or text and we'll get you on the schedule fast.
Does the green waste get composted or go to the landfill?
Clean green waste from Woodland yards goes to the green-waste program at the Yolo County Central Landfill, where it's composted rather than buried. Dump Ninja keeps it separate from junk when we can. Mixed loads with trash, plastic, or treated lumber go to the landfill side.
Do I need to bag leaves or bundle branches first?
No. Dump Ninja loads loose piles with rakes, pitchforks, and tarps. If you've already bagged leaves, that's fine too. Just leave the pile where we can reach it at your Woodland home and we'll handle the rest, including the sweep-up.
Can you haul sod and dirt from a lawn removal?
Yes. Sod, dirt, and rock are heavy for their size, so Dump Ninja prices them by weight instead of volume. We quote it on site at your Woodland property before we load. Keep it in its own pile away from brush if you can.
One call, and
your space is yours again.
