Hidden Meadows remodel debris
Hidden Meadows is a hillside community where almost nine in ten homes are owner-occupied and the median age is close to 58. Many calls are long-time owners updating kitchens, bathrooms and floors, or clearing a garage after a project.
The Escondido mailing address causes confusion. Hidden Meadows is unincorporated County land, so the County C&D ordinance applies, not the City of Escondido's waste plan or its exclusive franchise.

Access and estimate notes for Hidden Meadows
Streets wind and driveways are steep. Tell us whether the pile is at street level or up the drive, and whether there's room to park a truck.
If your project holds a County Debris Management Permit, the County limits who may haul its C&D debris to approved collectors. Check that list, and tell us about the permit when you call, so the debris goes the way your permit requires.
