Free Green Waste Disposal for District 5 residents.  

To facilitate community home hardening and wildfire fuel reduction efforts, County Supervisor Monica Martinez and CDI are excited to offer no-cost green waste disposal days to residents of the San Lorenzo Valley and unincorporated area of Scotts Valley.

District 5 residents were encouraged to take advantage of this special opportunity to affordably dispose of green waste at the Ben Lomond Transfer Station the last Saturday through September 2026! This program has now concluded. Please check back in for any updates on this webpage later. 

Program details:

• Participants must be residents of the unincorporated area of District 5, and green/yard waste must be generated from the cleanup of their residential property.
• Two-ton maximum per load. No dump trucks or roll-off/drop-boxes will be admitted.
• Standard yard waste size and material restrictions apply.
• No appointment needed.
• Self-haulers: Proof of residency required. | Contractors: Affidavit required.

Using a Contractor or Landscaper hauler?

If you're hiring someone to haul your yard waste, you'll need to provide them with a signed affidavit confirming they are hauling on your behalf.

Transfer Station staff will collect and verify affidavits at the gate. A separate affidavit is required for each load.
