Heavy items like stumps and soil bags carry higher per-weight pricing. 24 of 24 verified providers in San Francisco accept yard waste — confirm when booking, as some companies don't haul soil or concrete.

For green waste in San Francisco, ask whether the company composts or mulches yard debris rather than landfilling it. Responsible yard waste disposal means more material is recycled back into the ecosystem — compostable material like leaves, grass, and clean wood chips can go to municipal composting facilities. Stumps and soil may need separate disposal channels. Confirm with your provider what happens to each type of material.
