Yard Waste & Green Waste Removal in Los Angeles County
Branches, brush, palm fronds, soil and green waste hauled to a composting facility — including brush clearance for fire season.
The Junkiez provides same-day yard waste & green waste removal in Los Angeles County. 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 Los Angeles County
Los Angeles County is 88 cities and roughly 4,000 square miles, and hauling here is really a set of separate problems that happen to share a county line. The Westside is dense rent-controlled apartment stock with no parking. The Valley is post-war single-family homes with two-car garages that have not held a car since the nineties. The South Bay is beach cities with walk streets and alleys. The San Gabriel Valley is century-old housing with detached garages and deep lots. We run crews who know which one they are walking into.
Most cities in the county offer residents some form of free bulky-item collection, and we will tell you when that is the better option for you. Where it does not work — a deadline, an item that has to come down two flights, a landlord who needs the unit cleared this week — we are same-day. Loads go to certified transfer, materials recovery and composting facilities, and construction debris goes to the certified processors the City of Los Angeles requires for permit sign-off.
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.
