About Haulyard
Pick a size. We drop it. You fill it. We haul it.
Haulyard started in 2012 with one truck, one yard off Parsons Avenue, and a simple promise: no runaround, no junk fees, and a bin in the driveway when we say it will be. A decade later we run a small fleet across the Columbus metro, but the promise is the same — flat-rate pricing quoted before we roll, a driver who calls before drop-off, and a container that lands level and protected on your driveway. We are locally owned, fully licensed and insured, and we recycle every load we can.
One truck to a fleet
We grew the way we’d want a hauler to grow — slowly, on referrals, by doing the boring stuff right. Boards under every bin. A driver who calls before drop-off. A flat price that holds. The kind of service that makes a contractor put you on every job and a homeowner text your number to a neighbor.
Where it all ends up
We’re a little proud of this one: we divert an average of 64% of our tonnage from the landfill. Clean concrete gets crushed and reused, metal goes to scrap, cardboard gets recycled, and brush gets mulched. Ask us to keep heavy or clean material separate and it disposes cheaper for you, too.

Runs the board. If your bin is in the driveway when we said it would be, that is Tasha’s doing. Knows the metro’s streets cold.

The boards-down, level-drop standard is his. Ten years of placements without a driveway claim. Calls every customer before he rolls up.

Dana Pruitt
Sorts every inbound load for what can be diverted — concrete, metal, cardboard, brush. The 64% recycle rate is her scoreboard.
What we stand on
Our promises
Flat-Rate, No Junk Fees
One price covers delivery, the rental window, pickup, and disposal up to your weight allowance. The only thing that can change it is going over weight — and we tell you the rate up front.
Driveway-Protection Promise
We lay boards under every container before it touches your driveway. If our drop damages your surface, we make it right. Full stop.
Same / Next-Day Delivery
Book before 11am and we will get a bin to you the same day in most of the metro. Next-day is our standard, not our exception.
Permit Help Included
Putting a bin in the street? We walk you through the city right-of-way permit, tell you when you need one, and help you file it.
Responsible Disposal
We sort and recycle every load we can — averaging a 64% recycle rate. Clean concrete, metal, and cardboard are diverted from the landfill.
Local & Insured
Locally owned with a Columbus yard, a fully insured fleet, and a $2M liability policy. You talk to the people who own the trucks.
