Leaf Pickup in Centennial, From $149
Centennial does not run leaf collection, and your trash hauler probably caps what it will take. So the leaves sit. Junk Same Day turns up at the house, loads the lot by hand, bags, piles and branches together, and it is gone in one trip.
Why Centennial leaves are your problem to solve
Unlike Denver or Lakewood, the City of Centennial does not provide residential trash or recycling at all, which is why Junk Same Day gets so many Centennial leaf calls. Every household arranges its own private hauler, or the HOA contracts one on the street’s behalf. There is no city leaf collection and no city leaf drop-off.
That leaves most people with three options, and two of them are slow:
- Your hauler’s yard waste service. Usually seasonal, often an add-on, and typically capped at a set number of bags or a single cart. A big maple does not fit in a cart.
- The city’s occasional yard waste drop-off. Centennial has run a free tree and yard waste event for residents, but leaves are specifically excluded, along with grass and pine needles. It is for branches. Check centennialco.gov for whether one is running.
- A single pickup. One visit, no cap, no sorting, no waiting for a collection week.
How much does leaf pickup cost in Centennial?
From $149. Price follows the space the load takes in the truck, plus how far we carry it from the pile to the curb. Yard waste is dense and the dump charges by weight, so it starts above our $99 single item minimum.
| Job | Price |
|---|---|
| A few bags of leaves or a small branch pile | $149 to $249 |
| Bagged or loose leaves, bigger clear-out | $149 to $299 |
| Multiple piles, shrub removal, fence sections | $249 to $399 |
| Full truck load, whole-yard cleanup | $349 to $499 |
Send a photo, get a firm number back, usually within minutes. We confirm before loading starts. Hauling and disposal are included, and there is no surcharge for Centennial. Same rates as our yard debris cleanup.
What goes in the truck
- Bagged leaves, paper or plastic, and we take the empty bags too.
- Loose piles, raked up or still spread across the lawn.
- Branches, brush and prunings, the material the city event is actually for.
- Shrubs, root balls and old planters from an end of season tidy.
