Yard Waste Removal in South San Francisco — FAQ
What qualifies as green waste?
Branches, brush, leaves, grass clippings, sod, weeds, and untreated wood. Soil, rocks, and treated lumber do not qualify and cost more to dispose of.
Is yard waste recycled or landfilled?
In Sacramento County, green waste goes to composting facilities where it's turned into mulch and soil amendments — not to the landfill.
Can you remove tree stumps?
We can haul away stumps that have already been ground or dug out. Stump grinding is a separate service typically done by a tree company.
Do you handle storm damage debris?
Yes. After NorCal wind and rain storms, we provide priority scheduling for fallen branches and tree debris removal.
