What We Haul in Los Angeles

Here’s an overview of the junk removal Los Angeles CA jobs we handle. Each service below explains what’s usually involved and what to tell us when you ask for an estimate.

Residential Junk Removal

Most of our work is for households: an old couch, a bedroom set, a pile of boxes from the last move, or a spare room that has turned into storage. We carry items from wherever they are, including upstairs bedrooms, back patios and detached garages.

In Los Angeles, access often decides how long a job takes. When you contact us, tell us about stairs, narrow hallways, gates, and whether the truck can use a driveway or needs street parking. See residential junk removal for more.

Commercial Junk Removal

We work with offices, retail stores, restaurants, salons and property managers who need one-time removal of furniture, fixtures, shelving or stored inventory. If your building has loading dock rules, freight elevator reservations or set hours for vendors, let us know so we can plan around them.

We focus on one-time removal of items your regular trash service doesn’t handle. See commercial junk removal.

Furniture Removal

Sofas, sectionals, sleeper sofas, recliners, mattresses, bed frames, dressers, armoires, tables, desks and patio sets are some of the most common items we remove. Large pieces sometimes have to be taken apart to get through a doorway or down a stairwell, and we can usually do that on site.

Replacing furniture? Schedule the removal for just before your new delivery so the room is clear. See furniture removal.

Appliance Removal

We remove refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, stoves, dishwashers and water heaters. Please disconnect appliances before we arrive: unplug them, and have water and gas lines shut off and capped by a qualified person. Empty and defrost refrigerators and freezers the day before so they don’t leak while being carried out.

More details are on our appliance removal page.

Mattress and Box Spring Removal

We take mattresses and box springs of every size, along with bed frames, headboards and futons. A single mattress is a quick pickup, but if you have other items going too, combining them into one load is usually the better value. See mattress removal.

Garage Cleanouts

A typical Los Angeles garage cleanout includes boxes, old furniture, exercise equipment, bikes, tools, holiday decorations and sometimes an old freezer. Before the crew arrives, take out what you’re keeping and set aside paint, oil and pool chemicals, which we can’t take.

See garage cleanouts for more.

Storage Unit Cleanouts

If you’re paying monthly rent on a storage unit full of things you no longer use, clearing it can end that bill. Check the facility’s access hours and rules for outside trucks, then meet us there to show us what’s staying. See storage unit cleanouts.

Apartment and Moving Cleanouts

Moving in Los Angeles usually means stairs, elevators and limited loading space. We clear out what you don’t want to move, or what’s left after the movers are gone. Tell us the floor, whether there’s an elevator, whether it needs to be reserved and where a truck can stop.

Clearing out before a move also means less to pack and a smaller moving bill. See moving and relocation services.

Office Cleanouts

Office jobs range from a few chairs to a full floor of desks, cubicle panels and file cabinets. We can work after hours or in phases if your team is still using the space. Before anything is hauled, shred paper records with personal information and wipe or remove drives from computers and copiers. See office space junk removal.

Property Cleanouts

Landlords, property managers and real estate agents call us to clear homes and units between tenants, before a listing or after a sale. Families call us to clear a loved one’s home. We can work room by room and leave anything you’ve marked to keep.

If a former tenant left belongings behind, California law requires specific notice before those items can be disposed of. Make sure that’s done before you schedule a cleanout. See property clearouts and foreclosure and eviction cleanouts.

Yard Waste Removal

We haul branches, brush, old planters, broken patio furniture, fencing pieces and other outdoor clutter. We don’t cut trees or do landscaping, so have trimming done before the pickup. See yard debris removal.

Construction Debris Removal

We can take some light debris left from small home projects, such as old cabinets or a removed vanity, depending on the material and amount. Heavy materials like concrete, dirt, rock and tile weigh a lot for their size, cost more to dispose of and may not be accepted on every job.

If you’re in the middle of a remodel, ask your contractor how debris is being handled, and call us before booking any debris pickup so we can tell you whether we can take it.

Electronics and TV Removal

We pick up TVs, monitors, computers, printers and other electronics along with the rest of your load. California treats many electronics as universal waste, which means they can’t go in household trash. See TV and electronics disposal.

Hot Tubs and Sheds

Old spas and backyard sheds are too big for curbside pickup. They usually have to be taken apart before they can be hauled. Spas should be drained, and their electrical supply disconnected by an electrician, before we arrive. See hot tub and shed removal.

Have something that needs to go? Send a few photos and we’ll give you a price before you book.

Donation, Recycling and Responsible Disposal

After loading, we take your items to a disposal or transfer facility. If you have furniture or household goods in good, usable condition that you’d like donated, tell us when you book and we’ll let you know what we can do for your job. Donation centers set their own rules about condition and item types, so we can’t promise that every item will be accepted.

If keeping items out of the landfill matters to you, the most reliable option is to donate or sell usable things before your pickup day. That also lowers your bill, since we charge by how much truck space your items take up.

How to Prepare for Your Pickup

  • Disconnect appliances and empty refrigerators and freezers.
  • Empty drawers and closets of personal papers, IDs and valuables.

Same-Day Pickup in Los Angeles

Same-day pickup may be available, depending on location and availability. It depends on how full the day’s schedule already is, how far you are from where the crew is working and how big the job is. A single item is easier to fit in than a full house.

Example Situations (General, Not Real Jobs)

These are common types of Los Angeles cleanouts, described in general terms. They aren’t stories about specific customers.

  • A second-floor apartment move-out. A renter leaving a walk-up needs a couch, a bed and a dozen boxes gone before the final walk-through. Photos plus the floor number and parking details make for an accurate quote.
  • A garage before a home sale. A homeowner sorts out what’s staying, sells a few pieces, sets hazardous items aside and books a crew for the rest.
  • An office lease ending. A small business needs desks, chairs and file cabinets cleared by the last day of the month, scheduled after hours.
  • A rental turnover. A property manager needs leftover furniture and bags cleared quickly so cleaners can start.
