Insured, local and service-area across greater Los Angeles. Flat volume pricing quoted before we start, and a disposal chain that puts landfill last.
Free quote, no obligation · one flat number before we start · you can also text that number
Most junk removal about-pages are a paragraph of adjectives. This one is a description of how the work is actually done, because that is the only thing that separates one truck from another.
Anyone can carry a couch. The part that varies wildly between companies is what happens after the couch is on the truck, and whether the number you were quoted on the phone is the number you pay in the driveway. Those two things are the whole business.
Volume-based, flat, and agreed in advance. No hourly meter, no surprise at the end.
We price by how much room your things take up on the truck, not by how long we take. That matters in Los Angeles more than almost anywhere: an hourly crew has a financial interest in a slow load and a bad traffic day, and you end up paying for the 405. A volume price removes that entirely. Our guide to how our pricing works explains the tiers and what pushes a job up or down one.
Heavy material is the one exception. Soil, concrete, tile, roofing and brick are priced by weight rather than volume, because a quarter-truck of dirt weighs more than a full truck of furniture and the transfer station charges us by the ton. We say that up front rather than discovering it on the scale. Construction debris removal is quoted that way as standard.
The quote is free, it has no obligation attached, and it holds. If we get there and the pile is genuinely twice the size described, we tell you the new number before anything moves and you can send us away. That happens rarely and it should.
A load leaving a Los Angeles house is usually four or five different waste streams pretending to be one pile.
Donation. Furniture in usable condition goes to LA-area charities rather than a transfer station. A dining set with a scratch is not waste.
Metal and appliances. Scrap, always. Anything holding refrigerant — fridges, freezers, air conditioners, some water coolers — is handled under California's refrigerant recovery rules. Several LA-area city programs will not touch a freon appliance at the curb at all, and Beverly Hills explicitly accepts refrigerators and AC units only once the refrigerant is out. Appliance removal covers how that works.
Electronics. California classifies e-waste as universal waste. The state exemption that let households bin small electronics ended in February 2006, and since then batteries, phones, computers, printers, microwaves, fluorescent lamps, TVs and CRT monitors have all been banned from ordinary trash. That is law, not preference. See e-waste disposal.
Mattresses. Through the statewide recycling program run by the nonprofit Mattress Recycling Council under CalRecycle oversight, which funds roughly twenty no-cost collection points across LA County. Mattress removal has the detail, including which drop-offs take them free if you would rather do it yourself.
Construction debris. To a City-certified processing facility. In the City of Los Angeles that is required by the Citywide Construction and Demolition Waste Recycling Ordinance, and LASAN publishes each certified processor's audited diversion rate. The best of them recover close to ninety per cent of what arrives.
Hazardous waste. Never on our truck. It goes to a S.A.F.E. Collection Center, free, and we will tell you which of the seven is closest to you.
The honest version: nobody diverts one hundred per cent of everything. A water-damaged particleboard dresser has no donation route and no meaningful recycling route. What we can promise is that the decision gets made deliberately, item by item, rather than the whole truck being tipped into the cheapest hole.
Our own crews on Los Angeles County jobs. Side yards, narrow walkways and the back of the property is where most of the work actually happens.
There are several, and a company that pretends otherwise is not being straight with you.
If you live in the City of Los Angeles, your items are legal for curbside collection, and you can wait for your regular trash day, LASAN's bulky-item pickup is free and unlimited — that is the city's own description of it. You request it through the online form, the MyLA311 app, or the 24-hour line on 1-800-773-2489, at least one business day ahead. It covers furniture, mattresses and box springs, toilets and sinks, rolled and tied carpet, large wood pieces and doors, and e-waste including TVs and monitors.
It does not cover construction material, automotive parts, commercial appliances, paint or chemicals, medicines or sharps, or fluorescent lights. It is also strictly curbside — nobody comes inside, up a staircase, or into a garage. That gap is the honest case for calling a hauler: interior work, awkward access, heavy or prohibited material, a deadline, or simply not being able to move a sleeper sofa down two flights by yourself.
Several cities outside LA City run their own free programs on their own terms. Long Beach allows twelve free special collections a year, Glendale four appointments, Santa Monica and Pasadena two apiece, El Segundo four, Manhattan Beach six. Inglewood's is free and unlimited. Our areas pages carry each city's rules where they have one.

A local junk removal and hauling company working across greater Los Angeles. We are a service-area business, which means we run trucks and crews out to you rather than a yard you visit. We take household and business junk, run cleanouts, and handle the disposal end properly — donation, recycling and certified processors before landfill.
Greater Los Angeles: the Westside, South Bay, Central LA, the Eastside, the San Fernando Valley, the San Gabriel Valley and down to Long Beach. Our areas page lists every neighborhood we work in regularly.
Monday to Saturday we are open 24 hours. Sunday we run 1pm to 10pm. The round-the-clock weekday schedule exists because move-outs, evictions and property handovers do not respect business hours, and a 6am start is often the only way to beat LA traffic and a parking enforcement window.
Yes, we carry general liability insurance and can send a certificate of insurance to a building manager or HOA before the job. Most Los Angeles high-rises and commercial buildings will not release a service elevator without one, so ask early rather than on the morning.
It is an order of operations, not a slogan: donate first, recycle second, landfill last. Usable furniture goes to LA-area charities. Metal and appliances go to scrap. Electronics go to certified handlers because California law classifies them as universal waste. Mattresses go through the state recycling program. Construction debris goes to a City-certified processing facility, which the LA C&D ordinance requires. What is genuinely finished goes to a transfer station, and on a normal household load that is the smallest part.
Yes, and we do it often. If you live in the City of Los Angeles and your items are curbside, LASAN's bulky-item pickup is free and unlimited — their own wording. Santa Monica, Pasadena, Long Beach, Glendale, Burbank and several other cities run their own free programs with their own caps. We would rather point you there and keep the relationship than charge you for something the city will do for nothing.
Household hazardous waste: paint, solvents, motor oil, fuel, pool chemicals, pesticides, aerosols, automotive batteries, propane cylinders, fluorescent tubes and mercury items. Plus asbestos, medical waste and sharps. A general hauler transporting those is breaking California law. All of it is accepted free at the seven S.A.F.E. Collection Centers, within a 125 lb or 15 gallon per-visit limit set by the state.
Call or text (323) 230-0777, or send photos through the contact page. Quotes are free, upfront and carry no obligation. Most jobs can be priced accurately from a couple of photos and a sentence about access — stairs, gate width, how far the truck can park from the pile.
Word for word from Google. Nothing tidied.
Working with Hunter and this company was great. Gave us a quick quote over the phone after sending photos and was able to help us the SAME day. Removal was fast and easy. We definitely recommend going with this company.
