Yard Waste

Yard waste removal in San Diego. More than the green bin can hold.

One big palm frond doesn't fit in the green bin. Neither does the pile from a weekend of trimming, a sod tear-out, or a tree drop. We haul green debris direct to the City of San Diego's Miramar Greenery or the equivalent regional facility — where it actually gets composted.

What do homeowners ask about Yard Waste?

Can't I just put it in the green bin?

If it fits — sure. The problem is palm fronds (too long), large branches (too thick), sod (too heavy), and volume that would take six weeks of weekly pickups. We're the answer when the green bin isn't enough.

Do you take logs from a tree drop?

Yes. If you want to keep the logs for firewood, we'll leave them stacked. If not, we haul. Rounds over 18" get split for charity firewood programs when possible.

What if I have a mix of yard waste and other junk?

Totally common. We keep the green stream separate from the trash stream when we load, and split the drop-offs on the back end. You get one flat price.

Do you haul dirt and rock too?

Clean fill dirt and rock yes — usually to a reuse partner. Concrete rubble has its own stream. Let us know on the call and we'll bring the right truck.

Homeowners who hired us for this

Hadn't parked a car in the garage since 2019. Called Monday, they were there Wednesday morning, and by 1 p.m. I had an empty garage swept clean. Flat price, no hourly nonsense, and they donated half of it to Habitat ReStore.

Melissa R. Garage Cleanout · Carlsbad

Dad passed and we had six weeks to list the house. Clear Out walked through with my sister and me, flagged three things that turned out to be worth something, and finished the whole 2,800 sq ft home in three days. Broom-clean handoff. Realtor was impressed.

David K. Estate Cleanout · El Cajon

Old sectional had to come out before the new one was delivered. Third-floor walk-up, narrow staircase. Two guys, 45 minutes, no charge for the stairs. They took a bookshelf and a dresser too — $275 flat. Couldn't have done it alone.
