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. ### Getting a price in Santa Ana 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 Santa Ana surcharge, and stairs, long carries and disassembly are all included. We cover all of Santa Ana, including Downtown Santa Ana, Floral Park, French Park, Park Santiago and South Coast Metro. ## 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.
