- City of Rome yard cart: $1.80 a month per 95-gallon cart. Grabber truck pickup within the size limits is for city solid waste customers; bigger piles are collected for a fee starting at $185 a trailer.
- Floyd County Public Works: free under 3 cubic yards (once every 90 days), $100 for 3 to under 10 cubic yards, $150 over 10.
- Contractor debris: the city doesn't collect it, so it's either in the quote or it's yours to haul.
What moves a quote
- Height and reach. Angi's ranges climb from $150 to $450 under 30 feet to $1,000 to $2,000 over 80 feet.
- What's underneath. Roofs, fences, and wires mean rigging and lowering instead of a single cut.
- Equipment. Crane rental for the biggest trees runs $250 to $600 daily, per Angi.
- Hauling. Logs and brush either leave on the contractor's truck or stay with you.
- Season. Lawn Love notes that winter is prime trimming season and can be busier and pricier.
Common questions
Why are these national numbers instead of Rome prices?
No Rome or Atlanta tree price survey could be read and cited for this page. A contractor's on-site quote is the only Rome price that counts.
Does the city charge to pick up limbs?
Rome residents with city solid waste service pay $1.80 a month for a yard cart; grabber truck pickup within the size limits is for customers of that service, and oversized piles start at $185 a trailer.
