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 Oceanside Oceanside has one characteristic that shapes the work more than anything else: Camp Pendleton is next door, and military families move constantly. PCS season produces a steady, predictable wave of household clear-outs, furniture disposal and full-home turnovers on short notice, usually tied to a hard report date. We are used to PCS timelines and can work to a hard move-out date — tell us the date and we will build backwards from it. Downtown and the harbour have tighter parking, particularly in summer. Inland neighbourhoods are conventional suburban access. Green waste goes to composting as a separate load under state organics rules. ### 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 Oceanside 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 Oceanside surcharge, and stairs, long carries and disassembly are all included. We cover all of Oceanside, including South Oceanside, Fire Mountain, downtown Oceanside, Rancho del Oro and the Harbor District. ## 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.
