About

Inland Pacific Resource Recovery in Lakeside is the largest independent green-waste and clean-wood recycling operation in San Diego County, processing up to 400 tons per day at its Hwy 67 facility under SWIS Permit #37-AA-1002. The chipping-and-grinding yard accepts curbside green waste, source-separated commercial loads, and construction-demolition wood waste, converting incoming material into mulch and soil amendments sold to landscape contractors at Pacific Green Landscape, Inc. on Winter Gardens Blvd. Operated by the Daley family since the early 2000s, the facility diverts processed wood fiber to fuel a 47-megawatt biomass energy plant in Mecca, California, turning Lakeside's yard trimmings and land-clearing debris into grid electricity rather than landfill volume. The certified C&D recycling designation from the City and County of San Diego qualifies contractor loads for diversion credit under the county's construction-and-demolition ordinance, keeping projects compliant with California's AB 939 waste-reduction mandates. Tree-removal crews hauling chipped hardwood and palm-trunk segments from East County properties—including those serviced by Anton's Service on Winter Gardens Blvd—use the facility's truck scales and load-out lanes for same-day processing. The product yard sells shredded bark mulch in 2-inch and 3-inch grades, playground-certified fiber, and custom-screened topsoil blends by the cubic yard for residential and commercial landscaping projects.
