Looking for a landscape company to haul brush, leaves and yard waste.

Just as the title says, I'm looking to have a few piles of yard waste hauled off. I do my own work but generate a lot of waste. Any recommendation would be helpful.

Just some further info… it is a crew of 2-3 people that do the pick ups. We have never had an issue with anything being picked up because we keep the piles tidy and uniform. We have had neighbors have problems with pick up because they just made a giant unmanageable pile.
Also Costco and Lowe’s have the best paper leaf bags but Costco doesn’t always have them.

The city picks up for free. Why would you pay? Bag what you can and stack the rest behind your fence. They will pick it up. I’ve had branches piled high and never had a problem.

I just moved to Plano so learning the lay of the land. So just a pile on my property in the alley?

If it's more convenient, you can use your driveway to have a deeper pile, as there isn't much room behind the usual fence.
Also, if it's more than a 6'x4'x4' pile, you can either put it out over multiple weeks, or call to have a special pickup, billed to you utility bill.

Correct. Yard waste is picked up on the same day as the trash. As long as large branches are cut down into manageable pieces, they will pick them up. I make piles about 4 feet wide and tall and never had issues. Leaves and grass clippings go in large brown paper bags they sell at Home Depot/lowes/costco, etc

Appreciate the help, thanks.

I have landscaping rock and bricks that I want to remove but don't really know where to take them. Any suggestions on the cheapest way to dispose of them that doesn't involve listing on FB Marketplace for free for someone to take?

Here's a handy guide: https://www.plano.gov/1007/Yard-Trimmings
They won't take soil or rock, but just about anything else organic will be picked up for you.
