Disposal Options in San Diego County
Curbside Collection Many municipalities in San Diego County offer periodic yard waste collection. Check your local schedule — it's often seasonal (spring and fall).
Composting For small amounts, backyard composting is free and creates useful soil amendment. Leaves, grass clippings, and small garden waste compost well. Branches and woody materials need a chipper first.
San Diego County Transfer Stations Local transfer stations accept yard waste. Fees vary by weight or volume. You'll need to transport it yourself, which can be challenging for large loads.
