Yard Waste in Descanso, CA.
Yard Waste for Descanso homes, done by licensed San Diego County technicians. 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.
Why is yard waste different in Mountain San Diego?
Mountain yard waste is heavy on pine, oak, and manzanita. Defensible-space clearings are the most common project — urgent around fire-season deadlines. We prioritize these jobs.

How does Descanso's climate affect this service?
Remote; bundled with other mountain jobs. Mountain yard waste is heavy on pine, oak, and manzanita.
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.
