Yard Waste & Green Waste Removal in Orange County

The Junkiez provides same-day yard waste & green waste removal in Orange 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 Orange County

Orange County is the most HOA-governed market we work in, and that changes the job in practical ways. A large share of communities here prohibit items being staged at the kerb, restrict working hours, and require contractors to be cleared at a gate before arrival. The upside is that access, once you are in, is generally excellent — wide streets, long driveways, three-car garages, and room to work.

Give us the community and gate name when you book and we will get on the list ahead of time rather than losing an hour at a guardhouse. County facilities — Frank R. Bowerman in Irvine, Olinda Alpha in Brea, Prima Deshecha in San Juan Capistrano — cover the north, centre and south of the county, and green waste goes to composting as a separate load. The inland canyon fringes have enforced fire-season brush clearance requirements.

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.
