The process, step by step
- Tell us what needs to go. Fill out the short form: name, phone, ZIP code, and a quick description. It's free and there's no obligation.
- We connect you with a local pro. Your request goes to one independent junk removal company serving your part of the 805.
- Get your quote. The provider contacts you by phone or text and confirms the price with you before any work starts.
- You decide. Accept the quote and schedule, or don't. You only pay the provider if you accept.
- They do the lifting. The provider loads and hauls your items away.
Short answers
- Who does the work? An independent local provider, not Junk Removal 805.
- What does it cost? Using this site is free. Pricing is set by the provider, typically based on how much truck space your items take up. Ask for an upfront quote.
- How fast? A local pro will reach out, usually the same day. Pickup timing depends on the provider's availability.
- What size jobs? Single items to full cleanouts: furniture, mattresses, appliances, garage and estate cleanouts, yard and construction debris, hot tubs and sheds, and e-waste.
Before your pickup
- Have a rough list (or photos) of what's going so your quote is accurate.
- Separate anything hazardous. Most providers can't take paint, chemicals, fuel, or asbestos. Your city or county household hazardous waste program handles those.
- Ask whether usable items can be donated or recycled.
