For most residents of Gardena, dealing with their trash is a pretty straightforward weekly task. Standard residential homes receive one 64-gallon GRAY/BLACK-lid trash cart, one 64-gallon BLUE-lid recycling cart, and one 64-gallon GREEN-lid organics cart per unit. You simply separate your waste between organics, recyclables, and regular trash, and wait for the garbage, recycling, or composting truck to come by on your assigned day. Here in Gardena, you can even request unlimited additional BLUE and GREEN carts at no charge, though there is an extra cost associated with using extra GRAY or BLACK carts. 

Though this weekly process may seem pretty easy, what exactly are you supposed to do when you have a junk item that either doesn’t fit in one of those carts, or an item that is prohibited from being thrown away with your regular trash? Obviously, trying to fit an old armchair into your 64-gallon trash bin isn’t going to work. If you do try and “hide” smaller used appliances or electronics in your regular trash bin, you may end up being fined for illegal dumping practices. If you simply haul those bigger and bulkier trash items out to the curb, you will most likely find out that those items will still be there waiting for you when you get back from work. 

To effectively and efficiently deal with bulky junk items here in the City of Gardena, hiring the best private junk removal services will often be the most direct, easiest, and most affordable way to get rid of your junk items. Junk King of Long Beach is proud to be the top-rated junk removal company servicing the City of Gardena. 

Problems with Bulky Item Pickup Provided by the City of Gardena

Though you could schedule a bulky item pickup with the local trash company, chances are that you will have to wait a considerable amount of time before the company can schedule you for that pickup. During the holidays and other busy times of the year, bulky item pickup is routinely delayed, meaning that you will have to find a space in your home or on your property to store that trash until the company can come by to take it away. 

Furthermore, the local trash company has strict requirements about how often you can request a bulky item pickup, and the amount or volume of junk that can be picked up. According to the company that provides waste collection for the City of Gardena

In Gardena, residential and multi-family customers are eligible for one (1) free pickup per calendar quarter. You must call before noon the day prior to your regular service day to schedule your bulky item pick up. Each pickup cannot include more than two (2) large household items and will be limited to a maximum volume of three (3) cubic yards, or weight limit of 300lb. Collections of more than three (3) cubic yards or more than one (1) pickup per quarter will be subject to a surcharge.

To put those numbers into context, one, regular sized couch will be about 2 cubic yards of waste, while a standard stove or refrigerator will be 1 cubic yard. A twin mattress will be considered about half a cubic yard, along with a file cabinet. If you have large amounts of old furniture or appliances that you want to get rid of, it is should be evident that you will quickly surpass the three cubic yard limit. This will not only cost you a high fee, but you may also have to store those items to be divided into two or three different pickups. 

Lastly, it is also important to note that if you rely on the local trash company for bulky item removal, you will be responsible for hauling all of those heavy and bulky junk items out to the curb on the morning of the scheduled pickup.

Rather, we have a huge network of relationships with recycling centers, thrift stores, and other businesses who can put your junk to use in some way or another. If it can´t be donated, we also work with several recyclers in the region to do our part to contribute to a circular economy. 

Here at Junk King, we also believe that our top notch customer service is another reason why our clients continue to choose us as the top-rated junk removal company in the region.
