There are many wonderful things about living in San Diego and our neighboring communities. One of those is the weather. In fact, San Diego is often ranked number one for the best weather in the country!

According to a San Diego Union Tribune story,

“San Diego ranked No. 1 with 261 ‘pleasant’ days, defined as having an average temperature between 55 to 75 degrees, minimum temperature above 45 degrees and no significant rain or snow.”

What this climate means for many San Diegans is lush and beautifully green lawns. And, with over 500,000 households in the City of San Diego, that can add up to an enormous number of lawns!

And taking care of all those luxurious lawns and landscaping also means massive quantities of yard waste. This can simply be piles of leaves and cut grass that are raked up regularly, or it could be much more substantial: like all the waste, trash, and debris that results from a major landscaping project. 

Which all adds up to quite a bit of yard waste disposal that needs to take place. 

When Your Yard Waste Gets Large Than Your Yard Waste Bin

Most San Diego residents have recycling bins designed to take organic waste such as all the stuff that we clear off of our lawns. And if your lawns are particularly large and expansive, then the piles of grass clippings and other organic debris from your regular yard maintenance can be pretty big. 

Of course, not everyone disposes of it all. At least not in their green recycling bins.

Many homeowners and renters prefer to leave the grass clippings in the lawn after they mow it. In fact, according to Oregon State University, 

“Unless you’ve let the lawn grow excessively long, or the clippings are in thick clumps, grass clippings are a good source of nutrients. Leaving clippings helps save fertilizer costs and thereby prevents ground and surface water contamination.”

Others use grass clippings in their compost piles. Essentially, composting involves mixing grass clippings and other plant and organic materials with a small amount of soil that contains certain microorganisms that decompose organic matter.

As it turns out, your grass clippings are an excellent addition to a compost pile because of its high nitrogen content.

Regardless of whether you reuse most of your yard waste, or simply put it in a suitable bin for recycling, most of the time that’s sufficient to take care of it all and get it off your lawn. But what about those times when there’s too much to reuse, repurpose, or even recycle yourself?

Yard Waste Disposal in San Diego Can Be a Big Job 

Maybe you’ve launched a major backyard makeover. That’s a great project for improving your outdoor spaces while increasing the resale value of your home. And for those of us living in San Diego, the climate and the weather make that kind of work much easier. In fact, it’s the weather and the climate that make for good reasons to consider a backyard and front yard renovation.

While many regions throughout the Western United States and especially California are in a state of severe drought, the City of San Diego and San Diego County are fortunate to only be in what is referred to as “moderate” drought conditions.

However, that is projected to worsen if we don’t experience a significant shift in our weather patterns. So, changing over to a low-water, drought-resistant landscape design is a great idea.

In addition, ever since the onset of COVID-19 and the subsequent shutdowns and numerous stay-at-home orders, entertaining guests outside by a fire pit or making use of backyard kitchens has become a real “thing” for many residents. And having a nice lawn and outdoor space is an important part of your backyard looking its best.

Which means you may want to get rid of some of that old yard waste that’s made up of debris like old hot tub parts stacked in the corner of the yard, of broken down exercise or playset equipment that you’ve never gotten rid of. 

Old fence boards, dismantled decking debris, broken down storage shed, or even a gazebo that’s literally falling over – these are all yard waste disposal jobs that are perfect for a company like Junk King San Diego.

Junk King San Diego – Because Yard Waste Disposal Doesn’t Have to Be a DIY Job

Even though we may be the “King of Junk Removal,” Junk King San Diego is also a great team to call on for help with your yard waste disposal needs.

Although we may come over to your home (or place of work) to pick up and remove your yard waste material, we treat this task as we would with any typical junk removal session. In other words, we send over a two-man team of friendly, courteous, and professional junk removal experts along with a big truck for your yard waste disposal session.

However, since you will be having us there, you can take advantage of the appointment to have us remove and load up anything else from your yard that you want to get rid of. That includes non-organic items like old patio furniture, birdbaths, broken lawn mowers, or concrete planters. 

And you don’t have to stop there!

The Junk King crew is fully equipped and prepared to relieve you of any stacks or piles of old fencing, construction waste, lumber, bricks, stones, concrete rubble, or even large piles of dirt. It can all go into the back of our truck for fast and convenient removal.

Outdoors and In – Junk King San Diego Can Take It All

When our highly trained junk removal crew is finished with the junk and debris from your yard it is quite possible that you may have some things you want to get rid of from the inside of the house.

The smart move is to take full advantage of the moment and point out to us all the other junk and unwanted items you need to get rid of. We can easily carry out an old futon or bedroom set that you no longer use. You can also have us remove old electronic gear like computers, laptops, DVD players or stereos

And the best part is that all of your electronic waste, or e-waste, will be taken to a certified recycling center. In fact, Junk King is the pioneer in “green” junk disposal, and we regularly recycle as much as 60 percent of all the junk – and yard waste – that we remove from homes and workplaces.

Another benefit of having all your yard waste removed, is that you can more easily assess what improvements you can make in your yard. Whether you do that in the spring or wait until the fall, it’s always good to start with a “blank canvas.”

And you can always count on Junk King San Diego to provide you with fast and affordable yard waste disposal and junk hauling.
