Text us a photoFred’s Junk Removal hauls household trash that does not fit the city cart — extra bags, flattened cardboard, and mixed piles left after a move or a cleanout. Stage it at the driveway, a residential garage, or the alley for curbside trash removal, or point and we carry it out for full-service. A dedicated trash haul is also on our trash hauling page.
San Diego’s most reviewed junk hauler. Locally owned and veteran owned. We quote bagged trash and cardboard from photos, load our own dump truck, and sort before anything hits a landfill. A residential garage is a drive-up location, the same as a driveway or an alley.
We take care on full-service jobs inside rooms, on stairs, and through side yards. We do not block neighbors, and we sweep the load-out path before we leave. You do not need to be home for a curbside pickup.
Fee rules
Pricing is posted before the truck rolls. No hidden travel charge, no “fuel surcharge” at the curb. Please have the job ready so the quote holds.
- The quote you accept from photos is the amount you pay. We do not add surprise fees on the day of the job.
- Curbside is the better rate when items sit at a drive-up spot: driveway, residential garage, or alley. We load. You do not need to be home.
- Full-service means you point and we carry it from inside, the second floor, or the backyard. That labor is in the full-service price.
- Dump fees, recycling, and the haul are included.
- Ensure there is a cleared pathway for items to be removed.
- Ensure bagged materials do not contain paint, liquids, fuels, chemicals, or other hazardous materials.

- Inside rooms, side yards, patios, and porches are full-service.
From the job
The same dump truck and two-person crew that run this work across San Diego.
Dump vs. recycle
A dump run puts the whole pile in a landfill. We do not work that way. Usable furniture goes to donation partners when condition allows. Metal, appliances, and e-waste go to scrap and certified recycling. Mattresses and box springs enter California mattress recycling whenever the plant will take them. Only the leftover mixed trash goes through a licensed transfer station.
Trash loads are sorted on the truck: cardboard broken down, metal to scrap, usable goods to donation partners, and only the remainder to transfer. Keeping volume out of San Diego landfills is part of every trash removal, not an add-on.
Bigger trucks, less bucks
Got a pile? Fill the truck.
Don’t guess at a dumpster. Pay only for the space you use — $69 for a small pile up to $599 for a packed dump bed.
