Los Gatos sits at the base of the Santa Cruz Mountains, and its housing splits into two very different jobs. Near downtown are five historic districts: Almond Grove, Broadway, Fairview Plaza, University/Edelen and the Downtown Commercial district. Broadway was the town's first residential street, and about three quarters of the homes in Fairview Plaza were built before 1900. The town treats any primary structure built before 1941 as potentially historic, so many remodels here start with a Planning review before anything comes out of the house.
Most of the rest of town is newer than it looks: 69 percent of Los Gatos homes were built between 1940 and 1979, and only about three percent since 2010. That means a steady run of kitchen, bath and roof work on mid-century houses off Blossom Hill Road and Los Gatos Boulevard, plus hillside lots in the south of town where the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone shapes how people clear brush. New housing is arriving too, from the Solana homes on the old Los Gatos Lodge site to North 40 Phase II, which the Town Council approved in January 2026.
Much of the land south of town falls under the Hillside Specific Plan, where large parts of the planning area are steeper than 50 percent slope, and protected trees set the limits on many lots: 12 inches on developed residential lots and 8 inches on hillside lots. That is why Los Gatos jobs are planned around the driveway first and the bin size second.
We deliver across Los Gatos, from the historic grid around downtown to the hillside streets south of Blossom Hill Road. Areas we serve include:
An Almond Grove Victorian or a Broadway Craftsman gets a new kitchen. Los Gatos sends exterior changes and demolition on historic properties through its Historic Preservation Committee, while minor repairs with materials replaced in kind need only a building permit. A 10-yard handles the cabinets, plaster and flooring.
Most Los Gatos homes went up between 1940 and 1979, and many are on their second or third remodel. A 1960s ranch off Blossom Hill Road with a full kitchen or roof replacement usually fits a 20-yard.
Residential additions that increase a home's conditioned area fall under the West Valley CALGreen rules: 65 percent of C&D debris diverted and weight tickets recorded for every load. We email the weight receipt after each pickup.
Southern Los Gatos is in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, and state law requires defensible space up to 100 feet from a home. Hillside owners clearing brush, dead limbs and old fencing often use a bin for the material that will not go through the free chipping program listed on the Town's wildfire page.
Homes in the Hillside Specific Plan area sit on some of the steepest ground in the South Bay. A 10-yard that the truck can set level on the driveway is often the right choice, swapped as many times as the job needs.
Los Gatos protects trees from 12 inches on developed lots and 8 inches on hillside lots, so removals need a Town permit first. Once the arborist has the permit, branches, stumps and old landscaping go in a general bin.
Sizes we actually send for the jobs we see most in Los Gatos. Every Los Gatos size is priced in the table at the top of the page, and inert bins carry no weight cap.
| Project | Size we send | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Kitchen or bath gut in a pre-1941 home | 10-yard general | Fits cabinets, plaster, tile and fixtures; check with Planning first if any exterior work is involved. |
| Mid-century kitchen remodel or re-roof | 20-yard general | Includes 2 tons; roofing is heavy, and extra weight is $150 per ton in Los Gatos. |
| Driveway, patio or retaining wall removal | 10-yard inert | Concrete, brick, asphalt or dirt only, with no weight limit. |
| Garage or estate clean-out | 20-yard general | Furniture and household items fill space faster than they add weight. |
| Addition, ADU or teardown | 30 or 40-yard general | Additions that increase conditioned area must divert 65 percent of C&D debris; keep concrete in a separate inert bin to help reach it. |
| Steep hillside driveway | 10-yard general | Set level on the driveway; we swap it as often as the job needs. |
In Los Gatos every bin we set goes on private property, such as a driveway, jobsite or private lot, and none go on the street. The Town requires a Debris Box Permit for any bin in the public right-of-way, and placing on private property keeps your project out of that process. Our truck needs about 23 feet of overhead clearance, which matters under the oaks on many Los Gatos lots. Oaks of 24 inches or more in diameter are Large Protected Trees, and cutting any branch over 4 inches on one needs a pruning permit, so we pick a drop spot that clears the canopy instead of asking you to trim. On steep hillside driveways, tell us the grade and turn-around room when you book and we will match the bin size to what the truck can safely reach.
Los Gatos is a member of the West Valley Solid Waste Management Authority with Campbell, Monte Sereno and Saratoga. Under the CALGreen rules the Authority enforces, new construction, demolition, and residential additions or alterations that increase conditioned area, volume or size must submit a C&D Waste Management Plan, divert 65 percent of C&D debris and 100 percent of land-clearing debris from landfill, and record weight tickets for every load. Keeping concrete, brick and dirt in an inert bin is a straightforward way to move your diversion number.
Los Gatos loads cross the scale twice at the disposal facility, and the gross, tare and net receipt arrives by email after pickup with photos of the load. Questions about what goes in which bin? Call (408) 495-3006.
