How much does Yard Waste Removal cost in North San Jose San Jose?
Pricing for yard waste removal in North San Jose isn’t some big secret — it just depends on a handful of factors most companies don’t bother explaining.
Dalux Junk Removal & Hauling is a locally-owned junk removal and hauling company based in Morgan Hill, CA, serving North San Jose (95134) and the rest of the South Bay. We’re licensed, insured, and obsessive about two things: showing up when we say we will, and keeping as much as possible out of the landfill.
What Yard Waste Removal Looks Like in North San Jose
If you’ve lived in North San Jose for any length of time, you already know the rhythm of the place — fast-growing tech corridor packed with high-density housing and corporate campuses. The modern condos, townhomes, and apartment complexes built since the 2000s that fill the 95134 ZIP code each have their own quirks when it comes to getting bulky items out.
That’s why we don’t show up with a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether you’re near River Oaks, off Cisco campus, or closer to Berryessa, we plan the route, the equipment, and the disposal path before the truck even pulls up.
What’s Included in Yard Waste Removal
When we say yard waste removal in North San Jose, we mean the whole job — not just curbside pickup. That includes:
- grass clippings
- stump pieces
- tree branches and logs
- uprooted shrubs
- old mulch and soil
If something on your list isn’t here, just ask. The list of what we don’t take is much shorter than the list of what we do (the main exclusions: hazardous chemicals, asbestos, and live ammunition — none of which we’re licensed to handle, and you wouldn’t want us to anyway).
Real Pricing — Yard Waste Removal in North San Jose
Here are actual numbers, not “call for a quote” runaround:
| Job size | Typical North San Jose price |
|---|---|
| Single item / minimum | $95 |
| 1/4 truck | $125–$248 |
| 1/2 truck | $248–$331 |
| 3/4 truck | $331–$417 |
| Full truck | $417–$500 |
Final price is locked in before we start working. No surprise add-ons. If the job is bigger than expected, we’ll tell you the new number and you decide whether to proceed.
The Step-by-Step
We’ve kept the process simple on purpose. North San Jose customers usually want fast, transparent, and respectful — in that order — so that’s what we built.
- Quote: photos in, price out, no walk-throughs needed for most jobs
- Booking: same-day or next-day in North San Jose most weeks
- Pickup: typically 30–90 minutes depending on volume; we bring everything
- Sorting: items get categorized for donation, recycling, or disposal
- Receipt: paid invoice and (on request) before/after photos for your records
All green waste goes straight to a Bay Area composting facility — no landfill. Wood gets chipped or composted depending on condition.
Common Reasons People Book Yard Waste Removal
Across North San Jose and neighboring areas like Berryessa, the call usually comes in one of a handful of patterns:
The “we just bought the house and the previous owners left a lot behind” pattern. The “mom is moving in with us and we need to clear the guest room” pattern. The “the contractor finished the kitchen but left the old appliances in the driveway” pattern. The “we should have done this five years ago” pattern.
Whichever pattern you fall into — fire prep season, after major yard work, or anything else — the process is the same.
What’s Actually In the Price
When you pay Dalux Junk Removal & Hauling for yard waste removal in North San Jose, here’s what’s bundled:
- Two-person crew. Loading, hauling, navigating tight spaces.
- Truck and fuel. No extra trip charges.
- Dump and recycling fees. Paid by us, not added to your bill.
- Donation routing. When applicable, we drop usable items at green waste composting facilities.
- Cleanup. Quick sweep of the area after load-out.
What’s not in the price: tips (never expected, always appreciated), and anything we explicitly call out as a separate line — like hazardous waste handoff fees if you have unusual items.
How to Prep Before We Arrive
A few minutes of prep work makes the whole job faster (and sometimes cheaper):
- Decide what stays and what goes. Use sticky notes if it helps. Mixed signals on pickup day add time.
- Clear a path. If items are coming out of the back room, make sure we can carry them out without moving 14 other things first.
- Photograph anything you might want to remember. Once it’s on the truck, it’s gone.
- Set aside donations separately if you want a donation receipt — we can drop them at green waste composting facilities on the way back and email you the receipt.
- Disconnect appliances if you’re comfortable doing so. We’ll handle it if not, but disconnected units load faster.
None of this is required — we’ll handle whatever you can’t or don’t want to do. But if you’re trying to keep the bill at the lower end, prep is the easiest lever to pull.
Local Disposal Rules That Actually Matter
A few things North San Jose (95134) homeowners should know about California waste rules — because most well-meaning DIY hauls accidentally violate them:
- Mattresses can’t legally go in regular trash in California. They need to go to a CalRecycle-approved recycling facility.
- Refrigerators, freezers, and AC units contain refrigerants that have to be evacuated by EPA-certified technicians before disposal.
- Electronics (TVs, monitors, computers) are illegal to throw in regular trash — they’re classified as e-waste.
- Paint, batteries, fluorescent bulbs, motor oil are household hazardous waste and have to go to specific drop-off locations like the Santa Clara County HHW facility.
- Construction debris over a certain volume requires the contractor (or you) to follow CALGreen waste diversion rules.
We handle all of this routing automatically — but if you ever DIY a haul, those are the gotchas to know about.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you donate or recycle?
Yes — that’s a core part of how we operate. All green waste goes straight to a Bay Area composting facility — no landfill. Wood gets chipped or composted depending on condition.
Do you offer free quotes?
Yes. Text us photos or describe what you need hauled and we’ll give you a price range over the phone — usually within minutes during business hours. No in-person walk-through needed for most jobs.
Do you charge extra for heavy items?
Items like hot tubs, pianos, and safes have their own pricing because they require special equipment and extra crew. Standard yard waste removal doesn’t have weight surcharges.
Why is your minimum ${min_load}?
Because the truck, gas, two-person crew, and disposal fees are real costs whether we pick up one item or twenty. The minimum keeps us in business while still being one of the most affordable options in North San Jose.
Are there hidden fees?
No. The price we quote is the price you pay. Disposal, labor, fuel, dump fees — all included.
