House Cleanouts and Junk Removal Services in San Diego

house and property cleanout services in downtown san diego

The United States has one of the most mobile populations in the world.

In fact, according to the United States Census Bureau, the average person in America will move as many as 11.7 times in their life. There are a variety of reasons why people relocate, but here are the main motivators:

  • 48 percent of moves relate directly to the housing
  • 30.3 percent of moves are family-related
  • 19.4 percent of relocations have to do with a job change
  • 2.3 percent of moves fall into “other”

While we have no exact figures for how many folks move from their homes in San Diego each year, it’s certainly quite a few. With an estimated population of more than 1,420,000 the city boasts approximately 500,000 housing units. 

So, if even just one percent of these households vacate each year, that’s over 5,000 move outs, which means almost 15 empty houses a day, on average.

That’s a vast number of house cleanouts and junk removal that needs to be done!

When You Need a House Cleanout and Junk Removal Services

The reasons for a house cleanout are numerous, but the most common scenario is a simple move out from one house to another. Whether it’s the prior homeowner that takes care of it or their real estate agent, a house cleanout is often needed before the house either goes on the market or is vacated.

At other times, a house cleanout can be the result of a foreclosure. Fortunately, the number of foreclosures has decreased dramatically since the infamous housing crash of 2008. Unfortunately, they still occur, even in San Diego.

According to a recent article from Norada Real Estate,

“The foreclosure rate in San Diego County is below the national and California average. There were 2,744 foreclosure filings in 2019 in San Diego County, said Attom Data Solutions, which includes default notices, scheduled auctions, and bank repossessions.

That’s down from 3,390 in 2018 and 4,025 in 2017. It is the lowest number of foreclosure filings for San Diego County in more than a decade, and a sharp contrast to the 49,125 foreclosure filings in 2009.”

Most, if not all, homes that go into foreclosure end up being vacated by the previous owners. And, in many cases, they need to be cleaned thoroughly and – in some cases – will need a substantial amount of junk removal, as well.

This is why Junk King San Diego specializes in house cleanouts along with other junk removal services.

Other situations involve rental homes.

As we noted earlier here, people are constantly on the move. In fact, according to the Census Bureau, almost 13 percent of renters move annually.

Property managers throughout the city of San Diego are familiar with the need to keep their properties leased as much as possible. The challenge is in the transition process between a tenant leaving and having the house ready for a new tenant as soon as possible.

But the problem is that these vacated properties cannot be leased again until any junk is removed and the property is cleaned. Every day a rental property sits unoccupied and full of junk is time that goes by without collecting rent.

And property managers have far more important and productive tasks on their plates than taking care of junk removal and house cleanouts!

In these scenarios, a quick call to Junk King San Diego means being able to outsource this work to a reputable, professional hauling company. And the advantages of this option far outweigh the perceived benefits of doing it yourself.

With Junk King on the job, you can have confidence and the peace of mind comes with knowing we will do the job right and do it quickly. And the cost is often far less than doing it yourself or with your own staff.

Junk King San Diego Makes House Cleanouts a Green Process

It’s certainly easy enough for a couple of guys with a truck to load up junk, old furniture, maybe an abandoned appliance or two, and haul all this to the landfill. 

Easy, but not good.

For starters, putting anything into our landfills should be treated as a “last resort” option. There are three major landfills open in San Diego County, only one city-owned and operated landfill and that is the Miramar Landfill. And it is filling faster than projected.

According a story from The San Diego Union-Tribune,

“Mayor Kevin Faulconer announced in 2015 that the projected life of the city’s main dump had been extended from 2022 to 2030 thanks to new city recycling policies, trash compaction methods and other innovations.

But recently city officials launched an environmental analysis of the potential impacts of increasing the height of the 1,400-acre dump from 485 feet above sea level now to 510 feet above sea level.

A vertical expansion is the city’s only option. The last possible horizontal expansion of the landfill, into the western portion of the site, took place in 2008.”

And, as recently as May 2021, San Diego City Councilman Joe LaCava noted that the “Miramar landfill is going to reach capacity by 2025.”

At Junk King San Diego, we treat landfills as a “last resort” and work hard to recycle and reuse as much of everything we pick up as possible.

In fact, Junk King has been recognized as North America’s greenest junk removal service and we are proud to have pioneered recycling-based junk removal back in 2005. We started out as being green then and have been going greener ever since.

One of the ways we do this is to sort every job for metals, e-waste, paper, household goods, textiles, furniture, and appliances, in our recycling warehouses.

But “being green” also means we donate, repurpose, and reuse as much as we can from everything we pick up from clothing, toys, baby cribs, and strollers to office furniture, electronics, and supplies.

In fact, we recycle up to 65 percent of every job we collect.

Junk King San Diego is committed to continue leading the way to help keep our planet and our city clean, green, and beautiful for generations to come.
