Homeowners cleaning storm debris and lawn waste with professional yard tools

When I first helped a neighbor clear out their overgrown backyard, I found myself knee-deep in decaying mulch and clinging tree roots. I remember thinking: “This isn’t just yard work, it’s a transformation.” That’s the essence of landscape removal. It’s more than hauling debris, it’s preparing a blank canvas for a vibrant new project.


Where to Dump Tree Branches in Los Angeles: Smart, Safe, and Compliant 


After a storm last spring, I helped a neighbor haul branches in LA, truck bed stuffed, we realized cleanup can easily spill into an unintended weekend chore. But dumping them correctly? That’s a whole different story.


If you’re planning to haul a load of yard waste to a Los Angeles County facility, it’s important to understand what qualifies as “acceptable.” According to the Sanitation Districts, only uncontaminated green waste loads—free from non-organic materials—are accepted for recycling or diversion


That includes:

  • Tree trimmings

  • Grass clippings

  • Brush and woody debris


But not everything green qualifies. Some commonly misunderstood materials are considered contaminants and will get your load rejected. These include:


  • Palm trunks and palm fronds (especially if they dominate the load)

  • Municipal solid waste (MSW)

  • Concrete, dirt, and plastics


So, before you head out to a recycling facility, double-check what’s in your trailer or pickup. Keeping green waste uncontaminated helps LA’s green recycling efforts and avoids potential fines or turnarounds.

Lawn Debris Removal: Keep Your Green Space Clean and Healthy


Let’s be honest—keeping a lawn spotless during spring or fall is no small feat. Leaves fall faster than we can rake, grass clippings pile up, and storms blow in unwanted clutter.
