Real budgets from 5 yard cleanup jobs posted on GigNGo — not estimates.
Based on 5 yard cleanup jobs posted on GigNGo nationwide. Updated September 2026.
A season of leaves and a couple of years of overgrowth are different jobs. The main cost driver is the volume of material that has to be gathered, bagged and taken away, not the size of the lot.
Bagging waste and removing it are separate tasks. Some quotes leave the bags at the kerb and some take them away, and disposal fees vary by town — worth asking before comparing two numbers.
Branches, brambles and anything needing a saw take longer and carry more risk than leaves and grass clippings. Say what is actually out there when you post, because it changes who is equipped to answer.
The figure above is what the job itself costs. What you actually pay depends on where you book it, because most platforms add something — and where that something lands, on you or on the person doing the work, is the real difference between them. These are the published fee structures, not our estimates of them:
Based on 5 yard cleanup jobs posted on GigNGo, the median budget is $150. Most jobs fall between $75 and $175, and the full range runs from $55 to $500.
The main factors are how long it has been left, whether hauling is included, what is in the yard. Describing your job clearly when you post it helps local workers give you an accurate quote the first time.
Post a task on GigNGo describing the work, your location, and when you need it done. Local workers nearby respond with offers, and you can compare their reviews and prices before choosing. GigNGo does not charge booking fees, and local workers keep the full amount you pay them.
Yes — labour rates and travel time differ by area, so a city figure will not match a rural one. We are not going to split $150 into per-city numbers, because 5 jobs is not enough to do that honestly: a "median" drawn from two or three jobs in one town is noise wearing a decimal point. The national median is the number we can stand behind, and the middle-50% range ($75–$175) is where most jobs land. For your own area, posting the job is the accurate way to find out.
Two reasons, and only one of them is the work. The first is genuine: how long it has been left, whether hauling is included, what is in the yard. The second is the platform. On sites that charge for leads, the person quoting has already paid to reach you and prices that in; on ones that take a commission, the cut is inside the number you see. GigNGo takes no commission and no lead fee, so the price you agree with a local is the price they keep — there is nothing added on our side for them to recover.
