Couches, sectionals, beds, desks and dining sets taken from any floor, disassembled if they will not fit out, and donated where they can be. Flat price quoted first.

Furniture is the single most common junk removal call in Los Angeles, and it is also the one where people most often pay for something the city would have done for nothing. So this page starts with the free option, then explains exactly when it stops being the right answer.
LASAN asks for an itemized list when you book so it can dispatch a correctly sized truck. The accepted list covers furniture, mattresses and box springs, toilets and sinks, carpet if it is rolled and tied, large wood pieces and doors, and e-waste including TVs, computers and monitors.
Three limits decide whether it works for you. It is curbside only — no crew comes inside, up stairs, or into a garage. It runs on your regular trash day, so there is a wait. And it will not take construction material, automotive parts, commercial appliances, paints or chemicals, medicines or sharps, or fluorescent lights.
Outside LA City the rules change street by street. Santa Monica gives three free pickups a year at five items each. Beverly Hills collects free from the alley but charges for a curb or parkway pickup. Culver City allows two free collections a year for single-family homes and landfills the furniture rather than donating it. Long Beach is the most generous in the region at twelve free special collections a year. Our areas pages carry each city's rules.

Second floor, basement, back house, storage cage, behind a locked gate. Interior removal is the main thing we are actually for. We protect the route on the way out — door frames, banisters, elevator walls.
Sectionals and sleeper sofas built in the room, or carried in before a remodel narrowed the hallway. We disassemble in place at no extra charge and carry it out in pieces.
Move-out inspection, escrow close, a tenant handover, a staging photographer arriving at nine. The city runs on its schedule; we run on yours, including overnight.
Ten items and a rug is not a bulky pickup, it is a truck. A garage cleanout or an estate cleanout is the same crew doing the same work at scale.
Old paint in the same corner, a broken TV behind the dresser, tile left from a bathroom job. We separate the streams and route each one legally rather than leaving you three problems.
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.
Living room: couches, loveseats, sectionals, sleeper sofas, recliners,
armchairs, coffee and side tables, TV units, bookcases, rugs.
Bedroom: bed frames, headboards, wardrobes, dressers, nightstands, mirrors,
and mattresses and box springs.
Dining and kitchen: tables, chairs, sideboards, bar stools, kitchen islands,
and detached cabinetry after a remodel.
Office: desks, filing cabinets, task chairs, conference tables, cubicle
partitions. At scale that becomes commercial junk
removal, usually run after hours.
Outdoor: patio sets, loungers, umbrellas, gazebo frames, and the tired
sectional that has been living on a balcony since 2019.
Pianos, pool tables, safes and hot tubs are a separate conversation because they are genuinely heavy rather than merely bulky. LASAN's accepted and prohibited lists name none of them, which is why they end up on the phone with us. Hot tub removal is a demolition job and priced as one.
What cannot ride with the furniture: paint and stains, solvents, motor oil, propane cylinders, pool chemicals, pesticides, automotive batteries, fluorescent tubes, asbestos, medical waste. All of it goes free to a S.A.F.E. Collection Center — seven permanent sites, open weekends, with a state limit of 125 pounds or 15 gallons per visit.
Charity acceptance in Los Angeles is stricter than most people assume. Structural damage, heavy staining, smoke or pet odor, and any suspicion of bed bugs are automatic rejections, and a rejected donation just means a second trip and a landfill fee. We would rather say so on the phone than photograph your couch outside a thrift store for a marketing post.
The disposal end matters more than it sounds. Sunshine Canyon Landfill in Sylmar, the main gate for a lot of North LA waste, charges by the ton with a one-ton minimum on every material, an environmental fee on every load and a penalty for arriving untarped. Chiquita Canyon in Castaic, which competitor pages still list as an option, stopped accepting waste entirely on 1 January 2025. Knowing which gate is open and what it costs is why a volume quote can be flat instead of hedged.

Parking is usually the real constraint, not the couch. Permit zones in Santa Monica and Venice, alley-only access across Beverly Hills, service-elevator booking in Downtown towers and Koreatown walk-ups with no elevator at all. Tell us the access when you call and we plan the truck around it. We also work Hollywood, Sherman Oaks, Pasadena and the rest of the areas we serve.
Call or text (323) 230-0777, or send photos to team@lajunkhauling.com. Flat number, no obligation, and an honest answer if the city can do it for free.
Donation is a real bar, not a marketing line — and if you are in the City of Los Angeles and can get it to the curb yourself, the free city pickup is often the better answer. We will tell you that on the phone.
The questions we get on the phone most days.
You have three real options. If you live in the City of LA and can get it to the curb, LASAN's bulky-item pickup will take it free — the city describes the service as unlimited — on your regular trash day, requested at least one business day ahead through MyLA311 or 1-800-773-2489. If the couch is usable, a charity collection keeps it out of the waste stream entirely. If it is upstairs, wedged, damaged, or you need it gone before a move-out deadline, that is when you call a hauler. We take couches, sectionals and sleeper sofas from any floor, usually the same day.
Inside, upstairs, down a side yard, out of a basement or a third-floor walk-up. That is the single biggest difference between us and the free city pickup, which is strictly curbside and will not come through your door under any circumstances.
It happens constantly with sectionals and sleeper sofas that were assembled in the room or carried in before a doorway was narrowed. We disassemble in place — legs, arms, back, and if necessary the frame itself — and carry it out in pieces. There is no extra charge for that; it is part of the job.
We do it. Bed frames, wardrobes, flat-pack units, dining tables, IKEA anything. Leave it standing.
Donated if it is usable, which in practice means structurally sound, clean and free of odor, pet damage or bed bugs. Charities in Los Angeles are strict about this and reject far more than people expect, so we make the call honestly rather than promising a donation that will not happen. What cannot be donated gets broken into streams — lumber, metal, foam, fabric — and only the genuine remainder goes to a transfer station.
It is priced by the volume it occupies on the truck, quoted flat before we start. A single couch is a small job; a full apartment's contents is a full truck. Stairs and distance are our problem, not a line on your bill. Our guide to how our pricing works explains the tiers and what moves a job between them.
Usually. We run crews around the clock Monday to Saturday and 1pm to 10pm on Sunday, which is why same-day junk removal is such a large share of what we do. Call rather than email if today matters.
Yes, and they travel as a separate stream. Mattresses go through California's statewide recycling program rather than to landfill wherever the unit is clean and dry. See mattress removal for how that works and where the free drop-offs are.
Word for word from Google. Nothing tidied.
We needed a last min mattress removal and called these guys up and hunter came by to pick up the mattress and haul it away for a fair price and had great communication. Very friendly and quick. Callem up for any junk removal they got you 👍the rest is on Google
