Yard Waste & Green Waste Removal in Santa Ana

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 Santa Ana. 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 Santa Ana

Santa Ana is the densest city in Orange County and one of the densest in California, which makes it a multi-family and turnover market above all. It also has genuinely historic housing — Floral Park and French Park are full of 1920s and 1930s homes with detached garages and deep lots that produce substantial estate clear-outs.

Dense apartment blocks in the central districts have limited loading space and tight stairwells, so we work fast at the kerb and send enough crew to avoid a long carry becoming a long job. The historic districts have rear alley access, which is the better route. The county civic centre area has restricted parking worth planning around.

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.

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.

What customers say

My mother had let things get out of hand and I was dreading the whole process. They came in an unmarked truck, never made a single comment, and asked before removing anything that was not obviously rubbish. Took four days and they never once rushed her.

Verified customer Los Angeles

I called about one old fridge and they told me my utility would collect it free and pay me for it. They talked themselves out of a job. When I needed a full garage cleared two months later I did not call anyone else.

Six-person spa behind a narrow side gate. Two other companies looked at it and passed. These guys drained it, cut it into sections and had the patio swept by 4pm. The price they quoted on arrival was the price I paid.
