Living in San Diego is a dream life for many people. 

Abundant sunshine, beautiful beaches, great views… a California paradise by many people’s standards. Little Italy is a gem of a neighborhood situated in the heart of the city, just a block from the sea and bordered by Waterfront Park to the west, I-5 to the east, and Downtown San Diego to the south.

Boasting close to 5,000 city residents, this somewhat upscale neighborhood had its beginnings as the home of Italian-Americans who built the boats that founded the American tuna fishing fleet and canning industry once based in San Diego.

Today, it is a bit more of a diversified neighborhood. And, according to Little Italy’s entry in Wikipedia, the place is, 

“A popular neighborhood full of Italian restaurants and grocery stores, home design stores, art galleries and residential units. Little Italy is one of the more active downtown neighborhoods, with frequent festivals and events including a weekly farmers market, also known as the Mercato (the Market, in Italian).”

But in many ways, Little Italy is no different than any other neighborhood near Downtown San Diego. For example, everyone living or running a business in Little Italy needs junk removal services now and again.

Which is why Junk King San Diego Downtown specializes in junk removal. 

What is Junk Removal and Why is it Important?

Junk removal is an essential service that is dedicated to assisting with the decluttering process and large or bulk rubbish removal.

It differs from regular municipal trash pickup in that, with your local waste management company, their trucks come to your home (or place of work) once a week or so, empties your trash bins, and then hauls it away.

However, if you have trash or ‘junk’ that won’t fit in your bin, you could call a junk removal company to come and remove it for you. This can be true, as well if you have large amounts of trash, you need to be removed.

Junk removal as a service is terribly vital and important since it is almost impossible for every resident or business owner to manage their own junk removal tasks. In addition, if everyone needed to take junk to one of San Diego County’s few landfills, the lines would be insufferably long, and the county and city waste transfer infrastructure would be overwhelmed.

Having professional junk removal services available with large trucks and established working relationships with other waste management services, recycling facilities, and non-profit organizations makes much more sense in every way.

How to Schedule a Junk Removal Appointment (And What to Expect from Your Junk King San Diego Downtown Crew)

Scheduling a junk removal appointment is simple with Junk King San Diego Downtown.

The first step is to contact us to schedule a junk pickup session. Just give us a call and let us know what you need disposed of. You can also text us if you prefer and simply send us an image or two of the junk you want removed, and we’ll take it from there. Or, if you like, you can simply book a junk removal appointment with us online!

Once you have chosen a date for us to come out, we will provide you with all the available two-hour arrival slots for that day. You choose the time, and we book the appointment.

So, what happens next?

You can expect our professional and courteous junk pickup team to arrive on time, as promised. And our two-person junk pickup team will call you 15 to 30 minutes before they arrive to confirm your appointment and to let you know they are on their way.

Once they get there, our team will provide you with a free estimate based on how much space your junk will take up in our truck.

It just gets easier after that! 

There’s no need to place your junk items in a pile or haul them out to your driveway. If you agree to our estimate, our team will proceed to remove and load all your junk items and materials. You simply point and we’ll do all the heavy lifting.

In addition, you should know that we can take just about anything and everything, including old appliances, large furniture, and even used mattresses.

And we do all this for you without any hidden fees or added charges.

What Kind of Items are Considered Junk?

To paraphrase an old saying, one man’s junk is another man’s treasure.

Whatever you have that you no longer want or no longer need is potentially “junk” if you aren’t  going to sell it or gift it to someone. And, if it’s in good shape and usable, we always recommend that you consider donating before dumping.

However, junk items come in all shapes, sizes, types, and materials.

In fact, here’s a short list of some of the “junk” items we take:

• Furniture Removal
• Yard Waste Removal
• Appliance Removal
• Hot Tub Disposal
• E-Waste Disposal
• Trash Removal
• Mattress Disposal
• Construction Waste Removal
  

And there could be many, many more items and materials stacked up in your backyard, piled up in your garage, and stuffed in the corner of your attic that you would probably label as “junk.” The only choice is whether to get rid of it or not. 

Can I Recycle My Junk?

Just about anyone can recycle most anything they need to get rid of. That’s because, despite what many people might think, most everything that Americans throw into their trash – which eventually ends up in landfills for the most part – are inherently recyclable. 

In other words, recycling can involve much more than plastic water bottles, aluminum cans, glass jars, and waste paper products.

For  example, old concrete and masonry from construction projects are recyclable. Most untreated and unpainted wood waste can be recycled. Anything made from steel or aluminum can be recycled. And the list goes on and on. 

According to the EPA, up to 70 percent or more of everything that ends up in the country’s solid waste stream can potentially be recycled.

And the really cool thing about getting junk removal from Junk King is that we purposely and successfully recycle as much as 60 percent or more of everything we pick up each day from our customers – including those living in Little Italy!

How Much Does It Cost to Get Rid of Stuff in Little Italy with Junk King San Diego Downtown?

There are plenty of other firms out there that would love to come and haul away your junk for you – even in Little Italy. But not all of them charge the same way. And some of them are simply far pricier than they need to be.

Take for example those junk hauling companies that charge a flat fee. That’s simply not an equitable way to charge for junk removal since some junk items take up much more room in a junk truck than others. 

And then there are the “charge by weight” guys. While this may seem like a fair way to bill your customers, at Junk King we understand that some junk items are incredibly heavy but take up little space, while others weigh very little but take up many cubic yards of space. 

Which is why Junk King simply charges our customers for the amount of space their junk takes up in one of our big, red – and clean – junk removal trucks. 

So, what might that look like, you ask?

Here’s a quick example of a typical load of household junk from a home in Little Italy. If the load would fill up a full-size pickup truck bed, our crack team of residential junk removal experts could have that out of your home and loaded up for about $270 to $290, according to our handy online Pricing Estimator.

And remember at Junk King, we never surprise you with “hidden” fees or added charges. We believe in fair and transparent pricing, and you’ll always know upfront what your junk removal job will cost you.
