Yard waste removal in San Jose — clean your yard fast

City green bins handle weekly clippings — not major projects
San Jose city green waste pickup is great for regular lawn clippings and small pruning. It does not work for major yard projects. A single tree trimming job in Almaden Valley or Willow Glen can produce more debris than months of green bin capacity.
Private yard waste removal fills that gap. No bin limits. No waiting for pickup day. We come same day or next day and haul it all away.

Best time for yard waste removal in San Jose
San Jose mild climate means yard waste removal is a year-round service — but demand peaks in spring (March–May) for post-winter cleanup and again in fall after summer growth. Tree trimming season, post-storm cleanup, and spring renovation projects drive the highest volume in neighborhoods like Evergreen, Cambrian, and Berryessa.

Yard waste disposal in San Jose — what the city accepts and what it doesn’t
San Jose’s green waste program through GreenWaste is excellent for regular maintenance clippings — but it has strict limits that catch homeowners off guard during larger projects:
- Branches: Must be cut to 4 feet or less and bundled. Maximum 2 bundles per week. Large storm debris or tree trimming jobs quickly exceed this.
- Dirt and sod: Not accepted in green waste bins. Must be hauled by a licensed contractor.
- Gravel and rock: Not accepted. Requires separate disposal.
- Volume limits: One 96-gallon green waste cart per week. A single afternoon of serious yard work can fill it three times over.
For any yard project that generates more than a bin’s worth of green waste — landscaping, tree work, sod removal, post-storm cleanup — private hauling is the practical solution.
