Yard Waste & Green Waste Removal in Los Angeles
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. 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
Los Angeles is not one hauling market, it is about forty of them. A job in Highland Park means a 1910s Craftsman with a detached garage down a shared driveway; the same job in Koreatown means a fourth-floor unit in a 1960s courtyard building with one small elevator and permit parking on every side. We have crews who know the difference before they arrive, which is mostly what determines whether a pickup takes forty minutes or three hours.
The City of Los Angeles offers residents free bulky-item collection through LA Sanitation — genuinely worth using if your timeline is flexible, and we will tell you so. What it does not solve is a same-week move-out, an item that has to come down from a third floor, or anything the city classifies as excluded. Our loads go to certified transfer and materials recovery facilities, and for construction debris we deliver to the certified processors the city 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.
