Commercial Green Waste Disposal

    Business

What is commercial green waste disposal and recycling?

The Lopez Canyon facility in Sylmar provides commercial landscaping and tree trimming businesses in the San Fernando Valley with a fast, economical location to drop off green waste for recycling at a nominal cost per ton. LA Sanitation & Environment (LASAN) recycles these organic materials rather than sending them to landfills, helping local companies save money while supporting a sustainable environment.

Who can use this service?

This commercial service is available to independent landscapers, tree trimmers, arborists, general lawn care providers, and construction companies operating in the City of Los Angeles. Small-to-medium landscaping businesses and contractors managing vegetative waste from property maintenance or renovation projects can utilize this facility.

What is the cost for dropping off green waste?

Commercial green waste disposal costs just $48 per ton at our Lopez Canyon facility. This competitive rate is significantly lower than most regional disposal options, helping local business owners reduce operational costs.

What materials are accepted at the facility?

We accept clean organic vegetative materials including tree branches, logs, stumps, roots, brush, shrubs, leaves, grass clippings, and untreated wood. Bringing clean vegetative waste ensures quick processing and supports efficient organic recycling.

What materials are not accepted?

We do not accept palm of any type, yucca, tumbleweeds, hazardous materials, concrete, dirt, rocks, or treated wood. Keeping these unacceptable items out of shipments protects recycling equipment and keeps processing streams clean.
