Yard Waste and Storm Debris Dumpster Rental in Citrus County

Whether it is a weekend of brush clearing or the cleanup after a hurricane, a roll-off gets debris off your property in one trip. Call (352) 765-8040 to reach an independent local hauler. We are a referral service, not the hauler.

Storm cleanup on the Nature Coast

Citrus County's coast sits low. Hurricane Idalia in 2023 and Hurricane Helene in 2024 pushed storm surge into Crystal River, Homosassa and other waterfront areas, flooding homes and businesses. After a flood, wet drywall, insulation, carpet, cabinets and furniture need to come out fast to limit mold. Curbside storm pickup can take weeks after a major event. A dumpster lets you move at your own speed.

After a storm, demand for dumpsters spikes and boxes run short. If a storm is in the forecast, call ahead to ask about availability.

Flood debris tips

• Photograph everything for your insurance claim before it goes in the box.
• Wear gloves, boots and an N95 or better mask when handling moldy material.
• Cut drywall above the water line and remove wet insulation.
• Keep hazardous items (fuel, chemicals, batteries, propane tanks) out of the dumpster.
• Ask your insurer whether debris removal is covered under your policy.

Yard waste and land clearing

Citrus County's wooded lots grow fast in the summer heat and rain. Common yard jobs that need a roll-off:

• Clearing an overgrown lot before building or selling
• Removing fallen limbs, palm fronds and storm-downed trees after the tree service cuts them
• Ripping out old landscaping, shrubs and sod
• Clearing palmettos and brush

Many haulers charge less for clean yard waste than for mixed trash, because it can be mulched instead of buried. Keep yard debris separate from household junk and construction debris to get the better rate.

Sizing for yard debris

Brush and branches are bulky but light, so a 20 or 30 yard often makes sense. Stumps, sod and dirt are heavy; use a 10 yard for those and fill only to the line. Cut long limbs to fit flat across the box so it packs tighter.

Can I just burn it?

Florida regulates yard-waste burning. Rules depend on lot size, distance from homes and the current fire danger, and burning is often banned during dry spells. Check with the Florida Forest Service before burning anything. A dumpster avoids the question entirely.

Placement after a storm

• Pick a spot clear of downed power lines. Never place or load a dumpster near a fallen line; call Duke Energy or Withlacoochee River Electric first.
• Soft, waterlogged ground can trap a truck. A driveway or paved area is best.
• Street placement may need a county permit.

Pricing

Storm and yard debris pricing depends on the type of debris, weight, distance and demand. Prices can rise after a major storm because every hauler in the region is booked. Call (352) 765-8040 for a quote.
