San Diego Trash Pickup: How It Can Help Your Home Or Office

Estate Clean Out, trash pickup

San Diego is arguably one of the most beautiful regions in the country, not to mention in California, and it’s 1.4 million residents would agree. However, almost one and half million people living in a gorgeous setting still means a lot of trash.

Like any large metropolitan area, San Diego has to have extensive waste management services and processes.

All that trash has to be collected, transported, and then relocated for proper processing.

Yet, despite the comprehensive recycling efforts and infrastructure that is an essential part of the waste management services, one report revealed that up to 17 percent of the recycling collected from homes in San Diego each year is thrown out. In other words, it goes to landfills.

And it’s not just San Diego. According to a news story from The Times of San Diego,

“[It] turns out that at least 85% of single-use plastics in the state do not actually get recycled. Instead, they wind up in the landfill.”

However, in addition to recycling concerns, there are times when the regular waste management services aren’t sufficient for the occasional – or ongoing – San Diego trash pickup needs in our fair city.

5 Key Facts about San Diego Trash Pickup for Your Home or Office

Trash pickup

In a city the size of San Diego, in the heart of a county as big as San Diego County, waste management, recycling, and trash pickup is a big issue. For practices like garbage pickup, San Diego is continually grappling with finding better methods and reducing the overall amount of trash, where possible.

Here are some key facts related to the impact of San Diego trash pickup for your home or office:

The City of San Diego provides San Diego trash pickup as well as three to four private waste management firms, depending on where you live and what companies have a current contract at any given time.

When it comes to trash removal, San Diego residents mange to generate approximately 1.58 million tons of trash per year.

As a result of all the trash pickup, San Diego manages to send approximately 870,000 tons of trash per year to the Miramar Landfill, the only City-run landfill, which will likely be filled to capacity by 2025.

Partly because of the increasing volume of trash pick up in San Diego, one of the region’s major landfills, Otay Landfill owned by Republic Services, is scheduled to close on February 25, 2030.

We throw away an estimated 500,000 tons of food waste each year in San Diego County. When landfilled, all that food generates over 270,000 metric tons of greenhouse gases.

San Diego Trash Pickup Pros and Cons – What’s the Best Option for You?

Junk King San Diego

If you are a renter or homeowner in San Diego, garbage pickup is just a fact that you take for granted.

You pay for the trash pickup San Diego provides and, whether you like the company or not and whether you think your bill is fair or not, you still appreciate whatever San Diego trash pickup service you have.

But here’s the thing: there are times when the trash you need picked up is far more than you can fit into your residential trash bin. And, with your standard San Diego trash pickup service, you will find that your options are somewhat limited and, perhaps, not the most favorable.

You can, for example, rent a dumpster from them. But that requires scheduling, relatively high fees, and having to have that thing sitting in your driveway or in front of your house for a few days at least.

Sometimes you can have the option of using what is known as a Bagster® bag, but they are somewhat limited in capacity and can only manage up to 3,300 pounds or just under four cubic yards.

Of course, your garbage service can also arrange for their large trash pickup. Again, there is the scheduling of a day and time, added fees, and the possibility that you’re not in an area where they can provide the service.

On the upside, since you’re a paying customer you do have some options.

An alternative to your paid residential or commercial waste management service provider is a local and reliable trash and junk removal company like Junk King San Diego. The upsides with that option are low prices, easy booking, professional staff, and a totally green operation.

How Much Does It Cost to Get a San Diego Trash Pickup?

When it comes to San Diego garbage pickup, residents naturally want to know how much will it cost to have my trash and bulk garbage picked up and hauled away?

At Junk King San Diego, we get it.

This is why, in addition to providing world-class customer service, our San Diego trash pickup prices the lowest in our service area.

We always work hard to not only be the best at what we do and deliver consistently great customer service to our friends and neighbors here in the San Diego area, but we keep our prices fair and transparent, as well.

Unlike many other firms, we never charge our customers by how much their trash or other junk weighs. Nor do we simply charge a flat fee like many municipal and private waste management firms do. No, we always and only charge for the amount of space your trash or other junk items take up in our truck.

And we never hit you with hidden charges or added fees.

Not only do we make our prices clear and upfront, but we offer free estimates on every job. In fact, you get an estimate online any time. In addition, you can call us, text us, or simply have our team provide you with an estimate onsite after they arrive at your home or place of work.

As we like to say, at Junk King San Diego, we guarantee to beat any written estimate and we’re confident that our prices are better than any comparable operator – in other words, a licensed, insured, junk removal company with a recycling-based operation that helps keep our landfills free of unnecessary waste materials – like we do!

What is the Difference Between a Commercial and Residential San Diego Trash Pickup?

We are happy to help out our friends and neighbors living in and around San Diego, both homeowners and renters, with residential trash pickup. In addition, we also work with our local businesses to take care of their occasional (or ongoing) trash pickup needs.

The main difference between the two is that residential trash pickup jobs tend to be more of the “every once in a while” types of projects and do not necessarily consist of excessively large amounts of trash.

Commercial trash pickup tends to be larger removal jobs and is often set up for regular and consistent pickup schedules. Commercial clients can also set up business accounts and enjoy our easy payment plans. And Junk King is fully insured, of course, so that you and our staff are protected when we perform junk hauling services.

How To Recycle Cardboard In San Diego

Card Board Recycling

Most of the time, when it comes to cardboard recycling, San Diego residents find that putting old boxes and cardboard packaging into their residential recycling bin is all they need to do.

And for all the business owners in and around the San Diego area, while it might occur more frequently and on a somewhat larger scale, cardboard recycling is still relatively simple: they just break down boxes and other cardboard waste and place it all in the convenient recycling dumpster that are generally available.

Except that it’s not always that easy and sometimes the sheer volume is more than the bins and dumpsters can handle.

Why Recycle Cardboard?

For those of us who live in San Diego, recycling is pretty much a “no brainer.”

And, when we’re dealing with cardboard recycling, San Diego residents have that pretty dialed in. All of which is a good thing because paper, paperboard, and cardboard waste make up a massive amount of all the solid waste we produce here.

In fact, the EPA has estimated that, overall, the total generation of paper and paperboard (cardboard) in our trash represents over 23 percent of total solid waste generation in America.

When you consider that the city of San Diego manages to generate almost 1.6 million tons of trash every year, that’s quite a bit of cardboard! Around 370,000 tons annually, to be exact. And if all of this waste cardboard isn’t recycled then it will likely end up in the few landfills left in San Diego County.

Fortunately, studies have shown that 76 percent of San Diego’s trash can be recycled. And almost all of the cardboard trash is recyclable.

How to Recycle Cardboard in San Diego

If you’re in need of some bulk cardboard recycling, San Diego has some paper and cardboard recycling centers. And, if you’re wondering where can you recycle cardboard, an online search will bring up some options for you.

A quick search on your phone for “cardboard recycling near me” for example, should give you a few results, but you may also notice that most of them are pretty generic. In other words, there are few businesses that only specialize in cardboard recycling.

And those that do are typically B2B firms that work with commercial customers. Which is great for businesses in San Diego, but what about homeowners, renters, and others who are simply residents and not business owners or managers?

The good news is that you can take your own waste cardboard to facilities in San Diego to be recycled if you want to.

Where to Find a Cardboard Recycling Center in the San Diego Area

So, you’ve done an online search for “cardboard recycling near me” or “paper and cardboard recyclers near me” and you’re still a bit unsure as to where to go.

No problem! We’ve narrowed down the list of possibilities for you and here are some options for a more DIY approach to your residential cardboard recycling efforts:

Keep in mind that you will usually have to load and transport your own cardboard waste. In addition, you may not receive any cash for your recyclables unlike aluminum cans or glass bottles, for example, and you might even have some fees. However, it is possible to get it done this way.

How to Recycle Cardboard Yourself With 5 Simple Steps

If you’re wondering how to recycle cardboard yourself, or if it’s even a good idea, there are some easy steps you can take to simplify the DIY cardboard recycling process:

Cardboard disposal and recycling checklist

Another option many times, depending on the type of cardboard waste and its general condition, is to reuse it at home.

Reuse or repurposing is one of the recycling ideas that can be implemented for many types of “waste” products including scrap lumber, old furniture, certain glassware, and – of course – sheets of cardboard or cardboard boxes.

How Does Junk King San Diego Make Recycling Cardboard Easy?

The good news is that cardboard recycling does not have to be a DIY project, nor does it have to be costly.

No matter how much cardboard you have or what type, a quick call to Junk King San Diego is all you need do to make it happen. And regardless of where you live in San Diego County – in the city of San Diego or elsewhere – when you need recycling, Junk King locations can be found throughout the region.

Why and how does junk king recycle items? That’s a great question. First and foremost, we recycle because it is at the heart of our company’s mission – to be the greenest junk removal firm in North America. And we routinely manage to recycle up to 60 percent of everything we pick up from our customers, including bulk cardboard.

And we do it all affordably, as well.

One of the best parts about calling Junk King San Diego for your cardboard recycling and other junk removal is knowing that you will always get affordable service. In fact, we pride ourselves on offering the best pricing in our communities like Dulzura, El Cajon, Winter Gardens, Casa de Oro, La Mesa, and others.

When it comes to pricing, we never charge customers by the weight of their load like most other companies do. Instead, we only charge you for the amount of space your junk material takes up in our trucks. Which translates into cost savings for you!

So, no matter whether your junk weighs 500 pounds or just 50, you only pay for how much volume it takes up in the truck. And that means far more equitable pricing for you.

Being genuinely green and environmentally friendly, along with offering fair and transparent pricing, are just some of the ways Junk King stands out as the nation’s premier junk removal company.

And we always work hard to guarantee that our junk and debris removal services are the most affordable in our service area. Not only do we believe in fair and transparent pricing, but we also believe in giving all our customers a free, no-obligation estimate beforehand.

In fact, we even give you with four different ways to get an estimate:

Getting an on-site estimate is the best and most accurate way for us to assess your job and offer you the most accurate estimate.
Call us at 1-888-888-JUNK or live chat through our website with our highly trained customer service representatives.
Or send us a text with a photo or two of your debris or junk to 737-888-5865 and we will text back a free estimate.
Going online to our website is a quick way to get an estimate, as well. Just click on the “Pricing” tab above, scroll to “Pricing Estimator” and click the green “Launch Pricing Estimator” button.

Furniture Disposal: How Junk King Can Save You Money

furniture removal

With inflation, rising prices, and gas costing almost six dollars a gallon, it’s understandable that people want to find ways to save money. And this extends to the costs of getting rid of old furniture.

In addition to saving money, most of us seem to be busier than usual, especially if we’re working more than one job just to “make ends meet.” And the prospect of taking the time required to move old furniture out of the house, out to the driveway or sidewalk, and then loading it all into the back of a truck is distressing.

Not to mention the time required to drive all the way to the nearest waste transfer station or, worse yet, to one of the few landfills in San Diego County.

So, what can you do about old furniture disposal while still saving money? And time?

Why Furniture Removal is Important

Furniture Removal and Disposal

No matter how large your home is, there’s still only so much space for furniture. So, when the time comes to replace a piece or two – or even entire rooms of furniture – most of us need to have some old furniture removal take place.

Who needs two dining room tables, for example? Or four sofas? Even large, palatial homes only have so room for furniture pieces. And, while that might seem like a somewhat silly illustration, the reality for many homes is that old pieces of furniture often end up in spare rooms, attics, basements, or – more often than not – in the garage.

And because most furniture takes up quite a bit of space, most homes don’t really have the room for old furniture storage. Which is why furniture removal is important. So, when new pieces are purchased, the removal and disposal of the old pieces must be taken care of.

And, when it comes to furniture disposal, you will never go wrong with making a call to Junk King San Diego.

How to Choose a Professional Junk Removal Company in San Diego

Junk Removal La Mesa

There are probably many other factors that can go into choosing a professional junk removal company in San Diego. But there are just a few that are most important and should always be considered when selecting the firm you want for this task.

Reviews and Reputation

When vetting junk removal companies, it is critically important to read reviews, as well as getting word of mouth referrals from trusted friends and colleagues. Regardless of how flashy their ads, website, or logos, when it comes to reliable junk removal, the “proof is in the pudding,” as they say.

For example, when it comes to Junk King reviews, San Diego residents are unanimous: “These guys are great!” – Jack P.

Our high number of five-star reviews testify to the fact that Junk King San Diego provides reliable trash hauling and junk removal.

Fair and Transparent Pricing

There are several pricing schemes that junk removal and furniture disposal firms can use. The problem is that many of them are confusing and don’t always favor the customer in the end.

For example, some firms charge by the weight of your load. This can simply mean that six pieces of lower-end, lightweight furniture could weigh far less – and be charged less – than a load of more expensive but old pieces that weigh far more.

Others charge a flat fee, while there is no shortage of firms that have added fees or extra charges, and that are not always clearly noted.

Junk King has always stood by the philosophy of providing fair and transparent pricing for our customers and we only charge by the space your junk – furniture and otherwise – takes up in our trucks.

Green and Eco-Friendly

Being “green” is one of those things that, today, every company wants to be onboard with, but too many are just saying it and they’re not really doing it.

Taking junk, debris, and waste to our landfills day in and day out is the farthest thing from being green. In fact, the only alternative that is worse would be to engage in illegal dumping. And when you consider that up to 80 percent of the solid waste we throw out each day is potentially recyclable, it makes less sense to operate that way.

Not at Junk King. We pioneered the concept of green, sustainable junk disposal when the company was first founded back in 2005, and we continue to be green to this day. All of which means that we endeavor to recycle or reuse up to 60 percent or more of everything we pick up in the San Diego area – including old furniture.

Why Junk King Has the Best Services in the Industry

Old couch disposal

Junk King has been rated as Number One for service in our industry and our reputation really does speak for itself. And, as we noted earlier, our customers love us, and their hundreds and hundreds of five-star reviews underscore the quality of our service.

In fact, it wouldn’t be a stretch to say we are one of the best furniture removal companies in the San Diego region.

From reliable and affordable residential junk removal services to professional and insured business-to-business commercial junk removal, we cover it all. And we do so in a friendly and courteous manner regardless of the customer.

And, best of all, we always do all the heavy lifting, and we even sweep up after ourselves when we’re done!

Important Tips to Keep in Mind When Using Furniture Removal Services

Any furniture removal company worth their salt will never require you to bring your old furniture pieces out to the curb or your driveway. Part of the service you’re paying for is “full service” furniture removal, or at least it should be.

Also, avoid hiring furniture removal service companies that only offer you a six or eight hour service window on the day they’ve scheduled for picking up your old furniture. A quality and reputable firm will always value your time and work to make everything as convenient for you as possible. And they’ll show up on time, as promised.

Find out if the furniture removal service you are considering has processes for donating your used but still usable pieces. And, while you’re at it, you might want to confirm with them that they actually do work to recycle as much unusable furniture and other junk that they can.

Finally, any trustworthy and professional furniture removal service will be able to provide you with a free, no-obligation estimate or quote before they load your items.

Why Hire Professional Furniture Disposal Service and Make This an Easy Process?

The truth is that, if you have a large pickup truck or can get hold of one, you can probably manage your own furniture removal and disposal. Of course, that would also mean that you can manage moving, lifting, loading, and then unloading all your old furniture items.

In addition, you would need to be able to secure your own load, know where you can take your old furniture to dispose of it legally, and know what items may or may not be accepted for disposal. Not everything is at every facility.

And, as we alluded to at the start of this article, you would need to have the available time for doing all the work as well as being willing to spend the money on fuel and dumping fees.

Or you could go the far more cost-effective and less time-consuming route and hire a truly reputable furniture removal service like Junk King San Diego!

How to Dispose of a Couch in San Diego

Old couch disposal

Do you need to get rid of a couch right away? Click Here!

Have you ever found yourself driving from San Diego out to, say, Jamul or Poway, for example, and along the way after you’ve gotten out of the city you see an old couch sitting in a field? Or maybe it’s not even that far from the road!

We’ve probably all seen the old sofa, couch, or recliner that has been surreptitiously dumped onto a dirt shoulder of a backroad somewhere.

Not a pretty sight. And quite illegal, by the way.

However, most of us would never consider taking this drastic and totally uncool alternative to disposing of a couch in San Diego. Unfortunately, when it comes to old couch disposal, most of us are also hard pressed to figure out how to do so easily and affordably.

What is the Best Way to Dispose of My Couch?

If you live in or close to San Diego, couch disposal can be challenge. In fact, for those who live in San Diego, furniture disposal of any kind can be challenging.’

Sure, you can grab your phone and do a search for “San Diego couch pick up” or even “how to get rid of sofa” but most of the options that can pop up are either costly and require you to have a truck or some other means of transporting an old couch.

Never mind just moving or picking the thing up!

Couches, as you have probably already figured out, are heavy. In fact, depending on the size and the construction of your old couch, it can be well over 200 pounds. And if you’re lucky enough to be stuck with an old sofa bed unit, it could weigh up to 350 pounds.

This is not quite the same thing as moving a club chair or even a loveseat. And to dispose of an old couch yourself also means not only moving it out of the house or apartment but also lifting and loading it onto a truck bed.

So, to answer the question, “What is the best way to dispose of my couch?” it is simply this: have someone else do it for you!

How to Dispose of a Couch in San Diego with No Hassle

Couch Removal

In order to determine how to get rid of old couches in San Diego, you could start by searching for couch removal services or, better yet, an old furniture disposal service in San Diego. More than likely, however, you’ll probably just find a series of general hauling services and the odd person or two who takes old items like couches to refurbish and resell.

For many of these services you have to navigate through their booking process, interpret their often confusing pricing arrangements, and then end up with a four, six, or even eight hour time window on a day that they’re available.

If, however, your old couch is still in good shape and could actually serve its purpose for a few more years, you could consider either selling it or donating it.

In order to sell your couch with no hassle, you’ll need to use one of the more popular, free sites for selling items such as furniture, like Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace. And you will need to specify that the buyer is responsible for pick up and removal.

Donating might be a commendable alternative, but it isn’t always a “no hassle” process when it comes to bulky items like old furniture unfortunately.

Many non-profit organizations and charities that do accept item such as used couches will also require that you deliver it to their location yourself. And, as we’ve already noted, that can be a hassle. In addition, not all organizations accept donations like old couches so you will have to do some research beforehand.

However, there is a sure-fire “no hassle” approach to disposing of your old couch and that’s by making a call to Junk King San Diego.

And we’re affordable, too!

How Much Does It Cost to Get Rid of a Couch?

Even disposing of your old couch or sofa yourself will require some cost. Fuel and waste management disposal fees, for example. And possibly truck rental and some materials for securing your load for the trip to the nearest waste transfer station.

To determine the average couch and sofa removal prices in the San Diego Area, you could look online at some of the several home services directory-type sites. One popular site notes that the typical range for “furniture and mattress removal” is $75 to $200.

And, while that works for getting a rough “ballpark figure,” it doesn’t let you know what your project is really going to cost you.

The best way to determine your actual couch removal and furniture recycling cost is to get an estimate directly from a reliable and local furniture removal service – like Junk King, for example.

In fact, with Junk King, you can actually get an estimate on your own with our online Pricing Estimator.

Top 3 Ways You Can Dispose of Your Old Couch

While there are probably many more ways to dispose of that old couch, not all of them are great options nor affordable. And some are just plain poor alternatives. The good news is that there at least three great ways for you to get rid of your old couch.

Sell It

We mentioned this option already, but it bears repeating: if your old couch is clean and still in good condition, there is probably no reason you can’t earn some cash from it.

How much cash?

Well, if it’s in really decent shape and is a large sectional, for example, you might be justified in asking up to $1000 for it. On the other hand, according to one site, not so long ago the median price of a used couch or sofa was $250 dollars.

Donate It

Again, we touched on this alternative earlier in this article, but it, too, bears repeating.

A couch or sofa can be a wonderful addition to a group home, a lounge in a woman’s shelter, or in the home of an older resident that is on a fixed income. And these are just a few of any number of scenarios where a used couch can be a welcome and needed addition.

So, where can you donate couches in San Diego?

Here are few places to look online:

Call Junk King

Okay, so we might be a bit biased, but the truth is that Junk King is rate Number One for service in our industry. And Junk King San Diego is committed to not only providing the most reliable and affordable furniture removal and junk removal service in the area.

And we pioneered the concept of “green” junk removal. That means we’ll either find a new home for that old couch of yours or make sure it is properly recycled.

Appliance Recycling in San Diego

old-appliance removal san diego

Do you need appliance recycling right away? Click Here!

Back in 2012, Travel + Leisure Magazine listed San Diego as one of the top ten greenest cities in America. We were green then and we’re even “greener” today!

Which is why appliance recycling in San Diego is such a critical issue.

With over a half million households in the city of San Diego – not to mention offices and other workspaces – there are likely to be millions of used appliances in the city at any given time. And these don’t last forever.

Which means these metal monsters have to be disposed of at some point.

San Diego County is home to very few landfills and simply dumping that old clothes dryer or refrigerator out in the boonies somewhere is both totally uncool and against the law.

As the City of San Diego website cautions,

“Don’t be an illegal dumper! This may seem like an easy solution to getting rid of your appliance, but it is illegal to do so.”

Instead, if you can’t sell it or donate it, then appliance recycling in San Diego is the way to go.

Why is Appliance Recycling Important?

San Diego

When it comes to appliance recycling, San Diego has options.

If you are clear on what can be recycled and have the means to load and transport your own used appliance, then you can probably manage your own appliance recycling project. But it’s also good to understand why appliance recycling is important – and why you shouldn’t plan on simply making a trip to the Otay Landfill, for example.

If old appliances are simply dumped somewhere – legally or otherwise – the metals will decompose and penetrate the soil, leading to lead and iron contaminating groundwater. In addition, certain cooling appliances, such as air conditioners, contain refrigerants to work properly. Older appliances can contain now-banned refrigerants such as Freon.

If these appliances are disposed of improperly, the Freon can potentially leak into the atmosphere and damage the ozone layer.

Of course, there is also the issue of reducing the need for extracting raw materials for the manufacturing of new consumer goods. Most metals, especially steel and aluminum, are essentially capable of being recycled infinitely. So, it makes sense that the more metals that are recycled, the less new resources are required.

And, lastly, large household appliances take up excessive amount of space in landfills that are already filling rapidly. Which is why companies like Junk King San Diego make it their mission to reduce the amount of waste going into landfills as much as possible.

What Can Be Recycled and Where Does it Go?

When it comes to trying to recycle your appliances, you might be on your phone typing in “Recycling centers near me” or “How to recycle appliances near me.” And that’s perfectly understandable. We’re all pretty familiar with recycling cans, bottles, and paper. But old washing machines or refrigerators?

Other questions you might have are “What can be recycled and where do recyclables go?”

Well, the good news is that almost all household appliances are recyclable, especially the large units such as dishwashers, clothes dryers, and even trash compactors. Given that up to 90 percent of these machines are comprised of metals, primarily steel, they are perfect candidates for recycling.

Consequently, most of these reclaimed materials end up going to refiners who can convert the scrap into refined raw metals for industry and manufacturing. Generally, the cleaned and purified metals will be melted thoroughly and then cast into ingots – bricks of purified metal that is now ready to be used in manufacturing.

And, according to one industry source,

“Aluminum, iron, steel, copper and brass can all be recycled and reused, more than once, to make new products. Not only is it easy to use the scrap metal to make new products but it also reduces the need for new mining.”

What You Need to Know About Appliance Recycling Companies in San Diego

Junk King San Diego

Appliance recycling really is a “thing” in San Diego, but there are not many appliance recycling companies to work with. If your used machine is still working and usable, advertising your appliances for sale might be a better option.

However, if your old washer, dryer, or refrigerator has given up the ghost – or you don’t want to bother with selling it – then the best option for old appliances is recycling.

According to the County of San Diego website, for example,

“If your old appliance is working or needs only minor repairs, consider donating it to a local thrift store or charity. The Miramar Recycling Center will accept your old appliance and properly recycle the hazardous materials and the appliance. Fees may apply.”

While there are several recycling centers in the San Diego area as well as scrap metal and junk recycling and reclamation companies, not all of them accept large appliances. In other words, it pays to investigate any prospective location before you haul your old appliance across town, or across the county!

Of course, the fastest, simplest, and easiest way to get your old appliance to a reliable appliance recycling company is to call Junk King San Diego. We’ll gladly come and haul away your old appliance and have it properly recycled. And all you have to do is point – we do all the heavy lifting.

Business Junk Removal: An Essential Guide to Organizing and Decluttering

Business Junk Removal

Does you business need junk removal right away? Click Here!

We hear and see a great deal in magazines and social media about decluttering the home and getting organized at home. And that’s important.

But it matters at work, as well.

In fact, being chronically disorganized and having perpetually cluttered workspaces can lead to loss of productivity and add to your overhead.

According to a Forbes article from a few years ago,

“Late fees, bank fees, tax penalties, misplaced checks, lost cash, lost or expired gift cards, missed appointments and cancellation fees, and the cost of items you meant to return but never did are just some of the ways being disorganized erodes your budget… Plus, the cost of illness from the stress of being disorganized can compound any financial loss.”

Which could be seen as another way of saying that organizing and decluttering at work has a real return-on-investment.

When Business Junk Removal is an Organizational Best Practice

Before one can effectively engage in business junk removal, there has to be some junk identified and marked for removal. And that means cleaning up and cleaning out!

Along with dealing with excess junk and other clutter in the workplace, companies also find that a lack of organization can lead to clutter. And, in a sort of ‘Catch-22’ fashion, too much clutter often leads to employees becoming disorganized. In other words, business decluttering and business organization go hand-in-hand and are intertwined.

All of which means that, in order to get your mess cleaned up and your workplace optimized, some business junk removal will need to take place.

Not to belabor the point, but one business site from Canada echoes this premise,

“Business owners may not know this fact, but clutter and disorganization around the office costs some organizations well over $65,000 a year, according to the Professional Organizers of Canada. POC found that 37% of working Canadians are likely to struggle with time management, with 82% of those describing themselves as “extremely” disorganized.”

Which some of us in the United States might find comfort in, knowing that we’re not alone in this!

The Top 5 Reasons Why You Need Junk Removal Services For Your Business

One of the first concerns of every business owner or manager who is considering junk removal services for their business is junk removal cost.

Never mind that they know they need junk removal.

Which is the number one reason why you need junk removal services for your business: hiring a professional takes care of a major problem without incurring a major cost. A professional junk removal service can remove, load, and haul off your business junk – like old office furniture – faster, easier, and safer than you or your staff can.

And, for those of you who run your business from home, it’s good to know how to remove junk from your house both efficiently and cost-effectively. Efficient in that having a professional do it for you is faster and easier than doing it yourself. And cost-effective because every hour you spend doing the work of a junk hauler is an hour you are not making money doing what you do best – your own job!

But there are other top reasons for junk removal services for your business.

Increased Productivity

It can help employees find the focus they need and feel less anxious about their work. By organizing your desk, for example, you have one less thing competing for your attention. This will allow you to concentrate on important tasks rather than getting distracted by the growing stack of papers on your desk.

Less Stress, Improved Morale

Organized and uncluttered workspaces decrease employee stress which leads to improved morale and, ultimately, happier employees. And, according to one source, it’s been proven that happy people are more productive, according to research by Oxford University’s Saïd Business School. Their research reveals that workers’ happiness improves their productivity by 13 percent.

More Profitable and Reliable

Physical organization – or lack of it – can affect a business corporately and individually. And the impact can be either positive or negative. Disorganization can cause staff to misunderstand assignments, confuse dates, miss deadlines, making your firm undependable and unreliable. When clients or customers feel that the company they are dealing with is disorganized and unable to keep their commitments, they will be more prone to take their business elsewhere.

Optimized Workspace Utilization

Today’s cost of commercial real estate in the San Diego market is relatively high, though office rents here are not as much as San Francisco, Silicon Valley, or Los Angeles. But, with annual rents going up, it is important to utilize your valuable (and expensive) workspace. If you find you’re cramming storage closets or unused rooms full of old records, seasonal décor, or unused office furniture, it may be time to make a change.

The Benefits of Junk Removal for Your Office Space and Workspace

There are several benefits to having a clutter-free space.

Perhaps the most obvious one, especially in a manufacturing type of business, is the increased usable floor space that can result. This can also lead to a safer workplace, as well. According to one source, some of the most common cause of workplace injuries are slips, trips and falls due to messy or cluttered work environments.

Other benefits of using a professional junk removal service for your place of work include saving time and saving money. This is doubly true since, when you save time, you also save money.

In addition, your business can benefit by regaining space, decluttering, and reducing safety hazards.

How To Declutter Your Business’ Office Space

Junk Removal and Hauling Services

Oftentimes, decluttering and organizing can simply be a matter of focusing on one’s office space.

When it comes to office decluttering, office cleaning, and office organizing, there are several approaches that can be taken. However, a little planning and a simple checklist can make a seemingly simple, yet potentially time-consuming process, go smoother and faster.

Here is a brief checklist based on an article from one business magazine,

Confirm exactly what to keep – make a list of everything you use for 1-2 weeks.
Put office cleaning on your calendar.
Sort, then remove or donate what you don’t use.
Analyze options for rearranging your desk to optimize workflow.
Buy supplies only as needed
Clean.
Put away items you’re keeping.

Once a week, go through your office and get rid of accumulating junk. Don’t let yourself buy more shelves or containers to hold more stuff.

How To Choose A Junk Removal Service For Your Business

Knowing how to hire a junk removal company for your business is probably the easiest part of this task.

Sure, you can start by getting on your phone or office computer and typing in, “junk removal services near me,” but that’s likely to result in a mixed bag of results representing a wide variety of good and not-so-good options.

Junk Removal in Spring Valley: The Complete Guide

Do you need junk removal right away? Click here.

There was a time many years ago when junk removal in Spring Valley, or La Presa, or Lemon Grove, was often a matter of hauling it out to the desert somewhere.

Of course, that’s never been a good way to dispose of junk. And there were easier ways to get rid of stuff back then, as well.

According to a paper published by the City of San Diego,

“Between the years 1880 and 1908, private contractors in the City of San Diego disposed of waste by incineration or by dumping it in the ocean. Many people preferred incineration, because trash dumped at sea often washed ashore. However, rather than pay the fee charged by the operators of the incinerators, residents sometimes dumped their waste in vacant spaces, causing a public nuisance.”

While Silver Springs was little more than a sprawling ranch and growing number of orchards during those years, it’s quite likely that most of the junk accumulated back then was either left to rust or rot, burned, or otherwise disposed of or in whatever place was most convenient.

Junk removal has come a long way since then.

What is Junk Removal?

Strictly speaking, junk removal is simply the process of getting junk away from your home or property. That could be down the street to your neighbor’s house if they happened to want it, or across the county to the nearest landfill, if they’ll take it.

However, junk removal in the generally used sense refers to an industry that assists with the decluttering process. In this respect, it’s quite a bit different from regular household or business trash pickup.

For example, for the service you receive from a municipal waste management company, you typically get a trash bin for your home or business that you keep until you cancel your service. You would then place all your daily and weekly garbage into the bin until the garbage company’s truck comes and takes it away.

Sometimes that garbage also contains items that you decided were now “junk” and no longer wanted. And this is all fine as long as your junk fits in the bin.

For everything else that you label as junk there are junk removal services.

Junk removal service is usually provided by a professional junk removal company. For example, in Spring Valley, junk removal is often carried out by firms such as Junk King San Diego.

The Process of a Spring Valley Junk Removal Job from Start to Finish

Keep in mind that the overriding goal of any junk removal job is to remove clutter, and the process involved is fairly straightforward.

Sometimes the first step can be difficult. That’s determining what you are going to deem as being “junk” and deciding to get rid of it! There’s an old saying that “One man’s junk is another man’s treasure” and there is much truth to that.

However, if you’ve determined that you have items you no longer want or need, and you either cannot or prefer not to sell them or give them away, then junk removal is the best alternative. Which takes us to the next step in a Spring Valley junk removal job: making the call.

Contact a reliable, local junk removal firm like Junk King San Diego, and schedule a junk removal session. During the call you can tell us what you need disposed of, or you can text us if you prefer. Just send us an image or two of the junk you want removed, and we’ll take it from there.

And, with Junk King, you can simply book an appointment with us online!

Once you choose a date for us to come out, we’ll inform you of all the two-hour arrival slots available for that day. You choose a time, and we book the appointment.

The next step is to have your junk ready for our junk removal team.

Our professional junk removal 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 arrive, our friendly and courteous team will give you a free on-site estimate based on how much space your junk will take up in our truck.

The good news is that you don’t have to move your junk or have it sitting in a certain place. You just wait for the last step in the process.

The last step is to simply point out your junk items for us and we’ll do all the heavy lifting.

Our Junk King team will take just about anything and everything, including large furniture, old appliances, and even used mattresses. And we do it all without any hidden fees or added charges.

What are the Benefits of Hiring a Professional Junk Removal Service in Spring Valley?

We know you can always find someone to take your junk for a cheap price. But, like many other things in life, junk removal is definitely one of those services where you get what you pay for.

Which is not to say that you should pay unreasonably high junk removal fees just to get reliable and professional service. In fact, at Junk King we are constantly working to offer the best pricing in our service, all while providing fair and transparent pricing.

But if you opt for a non-professional hauler – one that isn’t insured or bonded – you run the risk of unfortunate things occurring with the loading process and other unfortunate things happening when that “inexpensive” guy with a truck unloads your junk.

And if you are handling large junk removal projects like residential property clean outs, you can appreciate the value of professional junk removal benefits.

For example, at Junk King San Diego, we guarantee:

To offer you an estimate in writing
To beat any written estimate
The best service in our industry

In addition to great pricing, great service, great reliability and peace of mind, a professional junk removal service like Junk King San Diego is also a genuinely green junk removal service.

And that means that we are dedicated to recycling and reusing up to 65 percent or more of all the junk we collect each and every day. In other words, we are “professionally” eco-friendly!

How to Choose the Best Company for Your Project

When it comes to junk removal and bulk trash hauling, spring valley residents deserve the best. And that means choosing the best company for your junk removal project.

Before you call the first name that comes up on a Google search for “junk removal near me” you should look for a few key things about the company.

Are they locally owned and operated? Companies like Junk King San Diego care about their neighborhoods because they live here, too. So, we work hard to provide the best service at the best prices because we’re serving our friends and neighbors.

Is their pricing simple and up-front? Many junk removal firms have added fees or hard-to-understand pricing structures. Many of them charge by weight. Not at Junk King. We always give you a free estimate and our pricing is up-front and transparent. And we only charge by how much room your junk takes up in our trucks.

Do they have a good reputation? If the company’s website has no reviews or testimonials, it’s only fair to ask yourself, “Why not?” At Junk King, our customers love us! We routinely receive reviews with statements like these:

- “The Junk King Team was very professional.” – Philip J., Bonita
- “Very professional and friendly.” – Jada P, Spring Valley

“Amazing job! Super recommended.” – Luis F., San Diego

So, if you want to make a simple choice, simply call Junk King San Diego to get the best company for your project.

Foreclosure Cleanouts in San Diego: The Complete Guide

Do you need a foreclosure cleanout right away? Click Here.

Foreclosures are unfortunate, sometimes tragic, events that can occur to most any homeowner or building owner. While the number of residential foreclosures rarely reach the levels that they did in 2008-2009 housing crisis and financial collapse.

As one source noted at the time,

“A total of 632,573 California properties received a foreclosure filing in 2009, the nation’s largest state foreclosure activity total, an increase of nearly 21% from 2008.”

And, nationwide, there were 2.9 million foreclosure filings across the United States when the numbers peaked in 2010.

Until recently, foreclosures had become relatively few in number, having dropped below historically normal rates for the last five years or so. However, the government’s temporary COVID-19 moratorium on foreclosures has lifted and the number of foreclosed properties is beginning to rise.

States that posted the greatest number of foreclosure starts in the third quarter of 2021, included California with 3,434 foreclosure starts.

What all this means for landlords and property owners is that the need for foreclosure cleanouts is on the rise, as well, even in San Diego.

What is a Foreclosure Cleanout and Who Needs to Get One?

Strictly speaking, foreclosure cleanouts involve the clearing out of all abandoned belongings, junk, debris, and trash from a vacated property. In the residential real estate market, this is often followed by a foreclosure cleanup to prepare foreclosed homes to be resold, especially in markets such as San Diego.

In San Diego, foreclosure cleanup and junk removal are common practices that are, more often than not, the responsibility of the landlord or the property owner.

Unless a vacated, foreclosed property is already completely empty and free of all trash, debris, junk, or other items that should not be in it, then a foreclosure cleanout is needed. If the property is a residential house, this might involve removing old appliances and abandoned furniture, as well as other smaller items.

In larger, commercial buildings, the prior owners may leave behind office furniture, old appliances in break rooms, and even large debris and trash items such as old pallets, scrap metal and other materials, including trash and possibly hazardous wastes.

Essentially, all properties that have been foreclosed on and vacated must be cleaned out prior to being put on the market again.

Different Types of Foreclosure Cleanouts in San Diego

There are essentially two types of San Diego foreclosure cleanouts.

The most common foreclosure cleanout scenario in San Diego is a house that has been vacated by previous owners whose mortgage has gone into default. These, of course, are typically the most stressful for everyone involved since losing a home is usually a highly distressing situation for the homeowners and, often, for the landlord, as well.

These foreclosure cleanouts often precede a thorough foreclosed home cleaning.

The other, less common, type of foreclosure cleanout is one carried out for a commercial property. In California, commercial property foreclosures do not always result in the building being vacated, as in the case of light industrial or office buildings that are leased to tenants.

However, when the property owner is also the tenant, and fails to avoid foreclosure proceedings, then that property is often vacated and left empty as a result. This, of course, usually means that a foreclosure cleanout will be necessary at some point so as to allow the property to be resold or leased.

These distressed properties, as they are also known, are relatively few in number and do not always require foreclosure cleanouts as they are not always vacated.

How to Prepare Your Home for a Foreclosure Cleanout

There are, of course, instances when the homeowner is preparing the home for a foreclosure cleanout. In many other circumstances, it is a real estate professional that is tasked with arranging for a foreclosure cleanout. And then there are situations where a landlord has the responsibility.

Preparing a home for a foreclosure cleanout can require little more than ensuring that all of the previous owner’s belongings are removed.

A commercial property might require a bit more effort in terms of preparation, while the actual foreclosure cleanout work can be carried out by a third party team like those from Junk King San Diego.

There can be a number of other tasks, however, that may also be required when preparing a home or property for the foreclosure process. These can include securing the structure, making a number of repairs, and maintaining the upkeep and landscaping, and so on.

How much do Foreclosure Cleanouts Cost?

The average cost of a foreclosure cleanout in San Diego depends on a number of factors.

These foreclosure cleanout pricing factors include the overall volume of junk, debris, and trash that needs to be removed, where the property is located in San Diego or in the neighboring area, and the type of foreclosure cleaning services the landlord makes use of.

Even a DIY approach on the part of the landlord will often require a dumpster rental and, quite possibly, hiring a small team of laborers to carry out the work. This could end up costing the landlord or property owner anywhere from $500 to $1,000 or more depending on how much debris needs to be cleaned out and how many hours are required.

In addition, in this scenario the landlord typically has to make all the arrangements and follow through in order to ensure the cleanout is completed properly.

On the other hand, a landlord can call on a professional junk removal service that specializes in foreclosure cleanouts, like Junk King San Diego. In this scenario, the cost can not only be more affordable, but the work will be carried out by expert junk haulers, making the entire process far more efficient and cost-effective for the landlord or property owner.

For example, if a typical foreclosure cleanout results in filling a Junk King truck 100% percent full, this would be the equivalent of about six full pickup truck loads.

And the cost for this proposed foreclosure cleanout scenario in, say, Spring Valley, would cost you between $675 to $700.

Everything (Else!) You Need to Know About San Diego Foreclosure Cleanouts

The steps often required before, during, and after a property foreclosure can include far more than just the foreclosure cleanout and cleanup. Depending on the role of the landlord, owner, or bank agent, there can be tasks that must be carried out to ensure the security and cleanliness of the foreclosed property.

Here is a checklist to help guide you through the process and task that may be required.

The unfortunate reality when it comes to foreclosure proceedings is that many foreclosed properties are filled with debris, trash, and abandoned belongings. All of this can be the result of property that the previous occupants failed to remove or haul away.

What is even more unfortunate, especially for the landlord, is that the task of removing these materials often falls on them or, perhaps, a bank or finance company representative that now holds the property.

This is why Junk King really is your best choice for taking care of a foreclosure cleanout.

Junk King is the leading business-to-business junk removal service in North America and our foreclosure cleanout services will reliably and cost-effectively manage that process for you. It’s one big task off your to-do list and it’s a big step toward getting your property ready to sell or rent.

For Winter Junk Removal, Dulzura Can Call On Junk King San Diego

Winter in Dulzura is much like the rest of San Diego County. Temperatures in the mid-60s, chilly at night, and – in December – the rains start. But really not a lot of that!

The community of Dulzura is located about 25 miles southeast of San Diego, and just 10 miles north of the U.S.-Mexican border. With the Hollenbeck Canyon Wildlife Area to the northwest, the Otay Open Space Preserve to the west, and the neighboring community of Engineer Springs just down the road, Dulzura is quiet and somewhat rustic.

While the population isn’t that large, perhaps a bit over 700 souls, it is still a thriving community with a great deal to offer those who choose to live in and around the area.

And the folks here need junk removal just like people anywhere else throughout San Diego County. But the winter season isn’t really the best for doing it yourself.

Which is why Junk King San Diego specializes in junk removal any time of year.

When It Comes to Junk Removal, Dulzura Folks Can Forget About DIY

If the thought of a 45 minute drive over the Otay Lakes Road in winter just to get to the nearest landfill gives you a chill, you’re not alone.

One of the great aspects of living in and around Dulzura is the relative isolation and the rugged beauty of the surrounding hills and valleys. A slight downside is that many services are quite a ways away. And that includes landfills and waste transfer stations.

All of which means that trying to take a “do it yourself” or DIY approach to junk removal and disposal is a major chore for Dulzura residents.

Not to worry!

A simple call to Junk King San Diego will get you set up with a professional team of junk removal experts who will arrive when promised. And they’ll call you 15 to 30 minutes before they get there to let you know they’re on their way.

Not only will you benefit from the efficient, safe, and courteous service of a top-notch team of junk removal pros, but you can rest assured that most of your junk materials will never see the inside of landfill.

Junk King San Diego: Always Green – Winter, Spring, Summer, or Fall

How can we say that we’re green?

Simply because of this: for Junk King San Diego, recycling is not just something we do occasionally so we can advertise it and make ourselves look good. Recycling and reuse are at the heart of everything we do. In fact, it is the foundation of our corporate mission.

Unfortunately, the standard process of junk removal for most firms is to pick up loads of junk and simply take it all to a landfill. But this is a completely short-sighted and unnecessary approach that is wasteful and harmful to the environment.

Junk King San Diego has always been committed to recycling as much of everything we pick up, which makes sense since up to 80 percent or more of all solid waste materials is recyclable!

And this is just as true for the junk items and materials Junk King San Diego picks up each day.

As a result, we believe that all junk removal services should strive to be green, recycling-based businesses. Junk King always has been one, and this is why we regularly recycle up to 65 percent or more of everything we pick up every day.

And that’s been true since Junk King was founded in 2005.

Junk King pioneered the practice of green junk removal and was the first genuinely green and eco-friendly junk removal service in the industry. And since that time, it has been Junk King’s corporate mission to recycle as much waste and junk items as possible.

Which holds true for Junk King San Diego, as well.

We have always been “green” and environmentally conscious. And we continue to do all that we can to preserve our city, our neighborhoods throughout the San Diego area, and – ultimately – our planet. Not to mention providing a green and sustainable alternative to using landfills.

So, what does all this mean for Dulzura and the rest of San Diego County?

Simply this: when you call on Junk King San Diego for your junk removal needs, you’ll be partnering with us to contribute to a greener alternative, as well.

For Affordable Junk Removal, Dulzura Residents Can Rely on Junk King San Diego

In fact, we pride ourselves on offering the best pricing in Dulzura, as well as communities such as El Cajon, La Mesa, Winter Gardens, Casa de Oro, and Rancho San Diego, along with many others.

When it comes to pricing, we’re not like most other junk removal firms.

For example, we never charge customers by the weight of their load like most other companies do. Instead, we only charge you for the amount of space your junk material takes up in our trucks. And that means savings for you!

In other words, no matter whether your debris weighs 1,000 pounds or just 100, you will still only pay for how much volume it fills in the truck. And that means far more equitable pricing for you.

Offering fair and transparent pricing – along with being genuinely green and environmentally friendly – has always been one of the hallmarks of our company. And we always work hard to ensure that our removal and hauling services are the most affordable in our service area, including Dulzura and its neighbors.

Not only do we believe in fair and transparent pricing, but we also believe in giving all our customers a free, no-obligation estimate beforehand. And we also give you with four different ways to get one:

Getting an on-site estimate is the best and most accurate way for us to assess your job and offer you the most accurate estimate.
You can call us at 1-888-888-JUNK or live chat through our website with our highly trained customer service representatives.
Or just text us a photo or two of your junk items to 737-888-5865 and we will text back a free estimate.
And online is also a quick way to get an estimate by clicking the “Pricing” tab above, scrolling to “Pricing Estimator” and clicking the green “Launch Pricing Estimator” button.

So, for reliable, green, and affordable junk removal service, call Junk King San Diego.

If You Live In La Mesa, Junk Removal Shouldnâ€™t Be A DIY Chore

San Diego County is home to a large number of pickup truck owners. And a lot of pickup trucks! And the residents of La Mesa, California are no different.

With almost 60,000 folks calling La Mesa home, most of them would agree that it lives up to its city motto, “the Jewel of the Hills.” But just because there may be a preponderance of pickup trucks in its driveways, doesn’t mean everyone living in La Mesa wants to take care of their own junk removal chores.

No one wants to spend their day loading, hauling, and unloading junk.

Which is why Junk King San Diego makes it our specialty to offer residential junk removal to the residents of La Mesa, as well as El Cajon, Spring Valley, Lemon Grove, and most of the San Diego area.

Getting Help with Your Holiday Junk Removal Needs

It’s that time of year! Holiday parties and celebrations, gift wrapping, boxes, bags, and tons of other trash and junk piling up until after New Year’s has come and gone.

Maybe you’re one of the homeowners in La Mesa that likes to throw big holiday parties with lots of decorations. That likely means you’ll have lots of used decorations and other after-the-party junk, trash, and debris to clean up afterwards.

Or perhaps you found yourself with more stuff now than you had before, and you didn’t have enough room for the stuff you already had! Maybe your garage is already filled to the brim with boxes, crates, and plastic bins stuffed full of… well, stuff.

You could probably use a good cleaning out and major decluttering around the house after the holidays. Which means you’ll likely have piles of junk and debris that you’ll need to get rid of.

But you probably don’t want to take care of it yourself, even if you do own a pickup.

There’s good news for La Mesa residents and others in the San Diego area, whether you live in Bonita, Jamul, Santee, Lakeside, Chula Vista, or Alpine – we’ve got you covered!

And you can rest assured that a call to Junk King San Diego will be your perfect post-holiday junk removal solution. That’s because we have the personnel, the tools, and the expertise to guarantee that all your junk items, large or small, will be removed and disposed of safely, quickly, and efficiently.

Because it’s all we do!

At Junk King San Diego We Understand the Challenge of DIY Junk Removal

That’s because we know that a DIY junk cleanup and removal job requires some key items that many of us probably don’t have.

For starters, you might need a few extra hands. And feet.

Why is that? Because removing and disposing of all the junk, trash, and debris that is collected and piled up after a major cleanup or decluttering project is simply not a one-person job. Which means you would need some help with it all. And that means having friends or family members that are both available and willing.

Oh, and you’re going to need a suitable vehicle.

As we pointed out here already, many San Diego County residents own pickup trucks. But not everyone does. And the problem is that you’re not very likely to get all those large bags of trash, piles of junk, and other large debris into the back of your Prius or Tesla Model 3!

And probably not in your SUV either, even with all the back seats down.

“But I do have a truck.” you might argue. “And I have some reliable help here.”

Fair enough, but that only means that you still have to load it all, secure it all, haul it all, and unload it all somewhere.

Which also means you have to know where to take all that junk and debris in San Diego County. If you could just leave it on the curb next to your trash and recycling bins, that would make the whole job so much easier. But you can’t.

And you can’t dump it all next to your company’s trash and recycling dumpsters, either. The waste management companies frown on that.

Fortunately for the folks in La Mesa, there’s a far easier, more efficient, and cost-effective solution to your holiday cleanup and other junk removal problems.

Just make a call to Junk King San Diego!

In La Mesa, Junk Removal Can Be Eco-Friendly and Affordable.

Being green is an essential part of Junk King’s corporate mission.

For the folks at Junk King San Diego, that means we are committed to keeping as much junk and debris out of our local landfills as possible.

And that’s not just a nice-sounding marketing pitch. It’s what we do.

In fact, when Junk King was started back in 2005, we pioneered the concept of recycling-based junk removal and today we are proud to still be the greenest junk removal service in North America.

Junk King’s mission to be green has meant making sure that as much of the junk we pick up as possible gets recycled or donated, something we’ve done now for more than 15 years. So, what does that look like in practice?

It means that Junk King is the only national junk removal company that operates with the goal of recycling at least 65 percent or more of everything we pick up using our local sorting facilities.

We also work hard to serve our friends and neighbors in La Mesa and the San Diego region by offering affordable pricing.

That means that, in addition to being the greenest and most environmentally friendly junk removal company in North America, we are also known for keeping our pricing the lowest in our service areas.

One of the ways we do that is by always providing our customers with fair and transparent pricing. And a significant step in this customer-focused pricing process is to always provide our customers with a free estimate.

Not only that, but we also make it easy on you with four different ways to get one:

Get a pricing estimate online: For an online pricing estimate, go to the Pricing tab in the menu above, click on “Pricing Estimator”, then click on the green “Launch Pricing Estimator” button.
Call our customer service: Call us at 1-888-888-5865 or simply live chat with our customer service representatives.
Text us photos of your junk: If you can take a photo of your items, text it to us at 737-888-5865 and we’ll text you back an estimate.
Get a free estimate onsite: The most accurate way for us to assess your job and offer you the lowest price is with a free, no obligation onsite estimate from our team.

And, best of all for you, is that you can always trust that the price we give you is the price you’ll pay because we never surprise you with hidden fees or added charges.
