Land Clearing in Austin, TX — how it works
Duke's Junk Recycling handles land clearing across Austin and every city within roughly ten miles of our two Central Texas yards. The process is deliberately simple: text a photo to (512) 520-7495 with your city or ZIP, get a flat quote back, pick a time, and our crew handles the carrying, loading, hauling, and cleanup.
You do not need to move anything to the curb, and you do not need to be home as long as the items are accessible. Most land clearing jobs in the Austin metro are scheduled same-day or next-morning.
What drives the price of land clearing
Three variables set the number: volume, weight, and access. Volume is how much trailer space the load takes. Weight matters for dense material. Access covers stairs, elevators, tight hallways, long carries, and whether a truck can back into the driveway.
Duke's prices by the load rather than by the hour, so a difficult carry never turns into an open-ended bill. Review the price menu for ranges, then send a photo for an exact number.
A landfill alternative for land clearing
Most haulers drive straight to the Austin landfill. We sort instead. Anything reusable is routed toward donation, metal and appliances go to a metals recycler, mattresses go to a Central Texas mattress recycler, and electronics go to certified e-waste processors.
That diversion is why our by-the-load pricing competes with tonnage-based dump fees — and why searches for "landfill near me," "dump near me," and "junk disposal near me" so often end at a Duke's yard instead of a transfer station.
Do it yourself: drop-off pricing
If you already own a truck or trailer, land clearing gets cheaper. Load it and drive into 6546 Burnet Road, Austin, TX 78757 or 20301 Hog Eye Rd, Manor, TX 78653. Unload yourself, pay by the load, and leave — usually in under fifteen minutes.
Hours are Monday–Friday 9:30a–4:00p and Saturday 10a–3p. No account, no appointment, no minimum tonnage.
Where we perform land clearing
Austin, Manor, Pflugerville, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Leander, Georgetown, Hutto, Elgin, Del Valle, Buda, Kyle, Bee Cave, Lakeway, West Lake Hills, Rollingwood, Sunset Valley, Wells Branch, and Jollyville.
Two yards keep drive times short in both directions, which is what makes same-day land clearing realistic across such a wide footprint.
Residential and commercial land clearing
On the residential side we work in houses, condos, apartments, duplexes, and ADUs — including second-floor and walk-up units. On the commercial side we serve property managers, realtors, landlords, general contractors, restaurants, retail, and offices.
Recurring service, certificates of insurance, lockbox access, and photo confirmation of cleared spaces are all available for business accounts.
Preparing for your appointment
Nothing is required, but a few things speed the job up: clear a path to the item, unlock gates, note any HOA or building rules, and tell us in advance about stairs, elevators, or narrow doorways. If anything is unusually heavy, mention it when you book.
If you want photo confirmation when the space is clear — common for realtors and out-of-state family — just ask and we will send pictures.

Land Clearing FAQs
Do I need to be home? Not if the items are accessible and payment is handled by phone. Is there a minimum? No minimum load and no minimum tonnage. Do you recycle? Yes — reusable items are donated, metal and appliances are recycled, and electronics go to certified processors.
How fast can you come? Same-day is common for morning calls across the Austin metro, and next-day is nearly always available. Saturday appointments and Saturday drop-off both run 10a–3p.
Land Clearing vs. renting a dumpster
A roll-off dumpster commits you to a delivery fee, a rental window, a weight allowance, and an overage rate — plus a container sitting in your driveway for days. For a single-visit job, one Duke's load is usually cheaper once all of that is counted.
Dumpsters still win on long construction projects producing debris daily. If that describes your situation, we will tell you honestly rather than sell you a service that does not fit.
