Your carts are already handled by the franchise hauler. We come for the part that will not fit: the heap beside the bins, the cleanup debris and the green waste stacked behind the house.

Weekly service from GreenWaste Recovery covers what fits in your carts, and in Aptos that is often not enough. Trees drop limbs, hillside lots grow more brush than a green cart can hold, and a garage project leaves bags that outnumber the bins.
We are for the overflow. Bagged household trash, leftovers from a cleanup, a season of yard debris or whatever has piled beside the bins: we load it by hand, haul it away and leave the area swept. It is a one-time job, not a subscription, so your regular cart service stays exactly as it is.
Where trash hauling fits next to your cart service
Your franchise hauler picks up what goes in the carts on your regular day. That is theirs, and we do not replace it. Loads that overflow the carts, pile up after a project, or sit on a hillside where a big truck does not turn around are what we take.
Sorted loads go where they belong. Green waste is kept separate from household trash, metal is pulled for recycling, and anything still usable is offered for donation. If you want to self-haul, the county’s Buena Vista site near Watsonville and the Ben Lomond transfer station require proof of residency.
Trash and debris we haul away

Broken fencing, drywall bits, torn carpet and scrap from weekend projects.
- Yard and green waste
Palm fronds, pruned limbs, redwood needles and brush cut back from a hillside.
- Garage and side-yard overflow
Boxes, bins and sagging cardboard stacked along the house.

Trash hauling versus bulky junk pickup
(a) Trash and garbage hauling is what this page covers: bagged household trash, overflow past your carts, cleanup debris and yard or green waste. For leaves and brush we also have a separate yard waste removal page.
(b) Bulky junk pickup covers furniture, appliances and mattresses. If that is your load, our furniture removal service is the better match, and the two can ride in the same trip when you have both.

Typical trash jobs in Aptos
- Overflow after a garage purge
A family spent a weekend sorting and now has two dozen bags stacked past the carts. We take every bag in one trip and sweep the driveway.
- Palm and branch cleanup on a sloped lot
A big storm leaves fronds and limbs down a back slope. The owner stacks what can be reached, and we carry the pile up to the trailer.
- Contractor leftovers beside a carport
A small bathroom redo leaves drywall scraps, old fixtures and packaging. We load the pile when the work crew is done.
Aptos FAQ: Trash Removal
Do you take my regular weekly trash?
No. Your carts belong to the franchise hauler, and we leave that service alone. We take overflow and one-time piles.
Can you haul green waste from a hillside property?
Yes, within reason. Tell us the slope and the carry to the driveway, and we plan the load around it.
What is the difference between trash and bulky junk?
Trash is bagged waste, debris and plant material. Bulky junk is furniture, appliances and mattresses, which we handle too.
Is yard waste removal in Aptos something you really do?
Yes, as a one-time haul. We keep green waste apart from trash so it is handled correctly.
What can I not put in the pile?
Paint, solvents, batteries and other hazardous items. The county’s household hazardous waste program takes those from residents with proof of residency.
How is trash removal priced?
By the space the load takes on the trailer, with a free quote and upfront pricing before we start.
