What is junk removal?

Junk removal is a service where you hire a crew to take away things you no longer want. They come to your home or business, carry the items out, load them into a trailer or truck, and take them to a disposal facility.

Many people don't know this service exists. They spend weekends fighting a couch through a doorway, borrow a truck, or leave a garage full for years. With junk removal, you don't rent anything or lift anything. You show us what goes, and it's gone.

People call us for a single heavy item, a packed garage, a home being sold, or a rental unit after tenants move out.

What we don't take

Hazardous waste, chemicals, oil, paint and tires. Ask first about heavy materials like dirt, concrete or brick. We also don't recycle or donate, so please set aside anything you want to keep or give away.

How much does junk removal cost?

We price junk removal by how much of the truck your load fills. You'll hear your price before we start.

  • 1/8 truck load $225
  • 1/4 truck load $325
  • 1/2 truck load $490
  • 3/4 truck load $635
  • Full truck load $745

Have less than that, or something in between? Ask us. Four things shape your price:

  • How much: the size of the load
  • Access: stairs, long carries and parking
  • Materials: heavy items take more to move and dispose of
  • Labor: how long it takes to load

What happens to my junk after you take it?

We take it to a disposal facility. We don't recycle or donate items, so anything you'd like to keep, sell or give away should be set aside first. Walk through with us when we arrive, and point out anything that should stay. It only takes a minute, and it prevents mistakes.

Junk removal or hauling it yourself?

Hauling it yourself can make sense for a small load if you have a truck and the time. Hiring a crew makes sense when items are heavy, you have stairs, it would take several trips, or you simply want it done today instead of someday.

Junk removal questions

Do I need to move things to the curb?

No. Our crew does the loading. Just show us what goes.

Will you take just one item?

Ask us. One heavy couch is a common reason people call.

Why not wait for city bulky-item pickup?

If you live in the City of Los Angeles in a home of 1 to 4 units, city bulky-item pickup is free, and it can be the right choice for a few items you can get to the curb. It doesn't cover businesses, larger buildings or construction debris. People hire us when they don't want to wait, have too much, or can't carry it out. Other cities have their own rules. See LA Sanitation.

Should I choose a local or national junk removal company?

Either can do the job. Ask any company how it sets its price, whether you'll get that price before work starts, and who will be at your home. National brands usually quote on site by volume. We're local, we publish a starting price, and we can quote from your photos.

Do you recycle or donate items?

No. Please set aside anything you want to keep, donate or recycle before we arrive.

Is renting a dumpster cheaper than junk removal?

For a small load, junk removal usually costs less: an eighth of a truck is $225, and our dumpsters start at $440. For a big cleanout you can load yourself, a dumpster can cost less. Compare dumpster rates.
