Junk Removal
Remodels leave piles: old cabinets, drywall, lumber, tile, flooring and fixtures. We haul renovation and construction debris for homeowners, DIYers and contractors, without the permit, driveway damage or wait that comes with a dumpster rental.
For small and medium remodels, a haul-away is often cheaper than a dumpster because you pay only for the space your debris fills and loading is included. Self-hauling to Miramar Landfill costs a per-load or per-ton construction and demolition fee. For long demolition projects, a dumpster can make more sense.
Much of it can. Clean wood, metal, concrete and some drywall can go to construction and demolition recyclers listed by the County of San Diego, and the Miramar Landfill charges less for clean wood than mixed debris. Keeping materials separated before pickup helps more of your remodel waste get recycled.
With a haul-away you only pay for what we take, nothing sits in your driveway for a week, and we do the loading. For balconies, upstairs units and tight lots where a dumpster won't fit, it's often the only practical option.
One of our favorite jobs: a balcony buried wall to wall in lumber, broken boards and bagged debris, completely cleared in one visit. You can see it in our work gallery.

Junk removal is often more cost-effective than a dumpster for small and medium amounts of debris, because you only pay for the space your debris takes up and the loading is included. For a long, ongoing demolition project, a dumpster may make more sense. Send photos and we'll give you an honest recommendation.
