Professional yard debris removal for San Francisco homes and businesses
The yard is a perfect place for family and friends to hang out and have picnics, barbecues and parties. It also demands a lot of upkeep, and yard waste can pile up quick. Whether it is a collection of garden weeds or fallen leaves, getting rid of yard waste can be a hassle.
Some local garbage collection services do not offer free yard debris pickups, or even pick up yard waste at all. So what are you going to do with all those bags of grass clippings, leaves and twigs? Piles of yard debris like branches, stones, leaves and trimmings can be prime breeding grounds for pests like rodents and insects — and people can trip over them and get injured.
In San Francisco, San Francisco has a mandatory recycling and composting ordinance and requires construction debris to go to a registered facility, so nothing from a city job goes to landfill unsorted That makes yard debris removal less of a cosmetic choice and more of a maintenance requirement.

How yard debris removal works in San Francisco
- 1
Show us the pile
Call 877-536-7941 or send a photo. Yard debris volume is hard to judge from a description, so a picture gets you a much more accurate San Francisco quote.
- 2
We bring the labour
You do not need to bag, bundle or drag anything to the kerb. We work from wherever the debris sits, including slopes and back yards.
- 3
Cut and load
Oversized limbs and trunks are cut down on site so they load efficiently — which keeps the volume, and your price, down.
- 4
Composted and recycled
Clean green waste is composted or chipped. Soil and rock go to appropriate recovery, and the rest goes to Recology's Tunnel Avenue transfer station in San Francisco.
