Yard Waste · San Marcos, CA

Yard Waste in San Marcos, CA.

Yard Waste for San Marcos 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 North County Inland San Diego?

Inland yard waste piles build fast — avocado, eucalyptus, and citrus trimmings, plus sod tear-outs from drought-tolerant conversions. We show up with enough truck for the whole pile.

  • Palm frond, branch, and brush pile pickups
  • Sod and lawn removal hauling after a landscaping project
  • Tree drop cleanup — we haul, you keep or we take the logs
  • Backyard cleanups after storm damage

  • Delivery to composting facilities (Miramar Greenery, Otay, regional partners)
  • No mixing with trash — green stream stays green

Growing tract homes; full-truck cleanouts common. Inland yard waste piles build fast — avocado, eucalyptus, and citrus trimmings, plus sod tear-outs from drought-tolerant conversions.

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.
