Curbside Junk Pickup in College Grove, Near San Diego State
By Fred Siegel, Fred’s Junk Removal · College Grove 92115
A driveway in College Grove had a broken shed taken apart and stacked outside. The pile was shed walls, a deck box, cabinet pieces, and boxes. It sat right off College Grove Drive, near San Diego State, already where a truck could pull up.
This was a curbside pickup. Fred and his crew loaded it from the driveway into the truck. They did not carry it out of the house, a backyard, or a porch. The movie below is that stop, from the pile to a clear driveway.
The movie starts on the pile. Shed panels are leaned against the fence, the deck box is in the middle, and the boxes are already outside. It ends on the same driveway after that load is on the truck.
The same kind of job
A driveway pile like this one is usually a mix of services:
- Junk removal for a mixed pile of shed parts, boxes, and leftover pieces.
- Furniture removal when cabinet pieces or a panel are in the same load.
- Garage cleanouts when the shed or the garage is where the pile came from.
- Curbside junk removal when the junk is already at the driveway and the truck can pull up.
What changes after the truck leaves
Two things stood out on this College Grove job.
- The driveway was clear. The shed walls, the boxes, and the deck box left on the truck.
- Nobody at the house had to load a shed. The pile was staged, and the crew did the lifting.
How the price works
Curbside is the discount. It is the lower posted rate when the junk is already at the driveway, a residential garage, or the alley, and the truck can pull up. This College Grove stop was that kind of job. Full-service is the higher rate, when the crew carries from inside, a backyard, a side yard, a patio, or a porch. Full-service starts at $130 for a carry.
Prices stay low because the number is posted before the truck moves. Text a picture and the quote you accept is the price you pay. That photo quote is guaranteed.
