Disposal Options in San Bernardino County

Curbside Collection

Many municipalities in San Bernardino 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 Bernardino 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.
