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. ### Getting a price in Irvine We quote free on site, before anything is loaded, and the number does not change afterwards. Our rates are the same everywhere we work — there is no Irvine surcharge, and stairs, long carries and disassembly are all included. We cover all of Irvine, including Woodbridge, Turtle Rock, Northwood, Great Park Neighborhoods, University Park and Quail Hill. ## Frequently asked questions **Do you take palm fronds?** Yes. They defeat most residential green bins, which is why we get asked constantly. **Can you do fire-season brush clearance?** Yes. Send us your LAFD or CAL FIRE inspection notice and we will clear to the specified distance. **Do you take dirt and concrete?** Yes, quoted by weight rather than volume since dense material fills a truck by mass long before it fills it by space. **Is green waste composted?** Yes — it goes to a composting or organics facility as a separate load, per California SB 1383.
