Yard Waste & Green Waste Removal in Irvine

The Junkiez provides same-day yard waste & green waste removal in Irvine. Branches, brush, palm fronds, soil and green waste hauled to a composting facility — including brush clearance for fire season.

Green waste piles up faster than the green bin can take it, particularly after a windstorm or a serious garden overhaul. Palm fronds alone defeat most residential bins. We take it all to a composting or organics facility rather than a landfill, which is both better and, under California’s organics diversion law, increasingly what is required.

Yard Waste in Irvine

Irvine is master-planned end to end, and that means HOAs with real rules. Most villages here prohibit items being staged at the kerb, restrict working hours, and require contractors to be cleared at a gate. It also means a large, affluent housing stock with three-car garages and a steady stream of families upgrading furniture. UC Irvine drives a June and September student turnover cycle.

Give us the village and gate name when you book — most Irvine communities need us on a list before arrival, and turning up unannounced wastes everyone’s morning. HOA rules generally mean we load directly rather than staging on the driveway. Frank R. Bowerman Landfill sits within the city and serves central Orange County.

What we take

• Tree branches, limbs and trunk sections
• Palm fronds and yucca
• Brush, ivy and overgrowth clearance
• Grass clippings, leaves and garden waste
• Soil, sod, sand and gravel
• Old fencing, trellises and planters
• Dead plants, stumps and root balls
• Pool and patio debris

Brush clearance for fire season

If you are in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone — much of the Santa Monica Mountains, the Verdugos, the foothill communities and large parts of San Diego County — LAFD and CAL FIRE brush clearance inspections require defensible space cleared to a specified distance, and non-compliance means the city clears it and bills you at a rate well above ours. Inspection notices typically go out in late spring. If you have one, send it over; it states exactly what has to go.
