What do Alpine homeowners ask about yard waste?
How fast can you get to Alpine for yard waste?

What does yard waste cost in Alpine?
Cost depends on the volume, the items, and access such as stairs or long carries. The independent pro you are matched with confirms a price before any work starts, and they set it.
How does Alpine's climate affect this service?
Alpine junk removal is closer-in mountain work along I-8 at 2,000 feet, large-parcel rural-residential cleanouts dominate, and combined yard-waste hauls are standard given the wildfire-risk defensible-space scope.. Mountain yard waste is heavy on pine, oak, and manzanita.
Can't I just put it in the green bin?
If it fits, sure. The problem is palm fronds (too long), large branches (too thick), sod (too heavy), and volume that would take six weeks of weekly pickups. We're the answer when the green bin isn't enough.
Do you take logs from a tree drop?
Yes. If you want to keep the logs for firewood, we'll leave them stacked. If not, the pros haul. Rounds over 18" get split for charity firewood programs when possible.
