Over the years around its birth as a city, San Diego has had some rough times. According to an official history, San Diego was incorporated as a city in 1850 and, under the leadership of a five-member Common Council and Mayor, it went bankrupt after two years.
The State of California then stepped in and established a three-member Board of Trustees, which ran the City until 1889, when the voters adopted a new Charter.
During those early days, trash and junk removal was sporadic and largely unregulated. In the 1880s, in fact, the City did little to manage waste.
According to historian Richard Crawford,
“San Diego had become appalling. With a rapidly growing population…San Diego was becoming a dump. Without an organized system of trash pickup, residents disposed of their
refuse any way possible. Waste was tossed in the streets, discarded in empty lots, or thrown into the Bay. Professional ‘scavengers’ collected garbage for a fee and dumped it on a 2-acre plot at the foot of the Ninth Street pier, where ‘poisonous vapors . . . wafted by the breeze over the city.”
At one point in the late 1880s, crude oil was poured onto dump sites and lit on fire to try to
deal with the problem. Eventually, the City hired a private contractor to haul the refuse out to sea. So, downtown San Diego residents hauled their refuse to the wharf, where it sat until crews loaded it onto the City garbage scow.
Fortunately, for all of us, things have changed for the better in the last 130 years or so.
When We Need Junk Removal, Downtown San Diego has Options
While it’s not necessarily the best option, residents can manage their own junk removal if they choose to do so. The problem there is one of transportation, as well as a diminishing amount of landfill space.
Not to mention having to do all the loading, hauling, and unloading themselves.
This isn’t to say that residents, or business owners, in Downtown San Diego are not capable of this type of DIY task. On the contrary! But the problem is that for any sizable junk load you will almost always need a truck. And even though there are plenty of pickup truck owners in San Diego, according to the automotive sales numbers anyway, not everyone with junk owns a truck.
And we haven’t even considered the logistics of getting your junk to a suitable facility for “dumping” it. That would most likely be a waste transfer station since there are precious few landfills in the region and those are not exactly in convenient locations.
Then there is the question of whether everything we call “junk” really should go to a landfill anyway?
The truth is that much of what we toss out or want to get rid of is actually reusable and, in some cases, can even be donated. And for those items and materials that are not suitable for a donation, they are still most likely recyclable.
Which begs the question: Do you know where to take your recyclable “junk” items?
The good news is that there are better options when it comes to junk removal.
Downtown San Diego has a variety of junk removal options to choose from, but the real issue is how to determine which choice is going to be reliable, affordable, and – especially in our neighborhoods – green and eco-friendly?
And, when it comes to junk removal, Downtown San Diego has residential junk as well as commercial, or business, junk requirements.
Which is why Junk King San Diego Downtown specializes in both types of junk removal.
