Junk Removal
Junk removal in San Jose means one call and a truck at your curb: we carry out the couch, the old fridge, the garage pile, or the whole apartment’s worth of clutter, load it ourselves, and sweep the spot clean. You point, pros haul — no dragging things to the driveway, no renting a dumpster, no borrowing a truck. Most single-item and half-load jobs across San Jose and Santa Clara County are handled in a single visit.
Pricing is by the volume your junk takes up in the truck, quoted in writing before we lift anything, so there are no surprises when the work is done. We recycle metal and e-waste, drop reusable furniture at local donation centers, and only what’s left goes to the landfill — which matters in a county with strict diversion rules.
What we don’t take: We don’t take hazardous materials — wet paint, motor oil, solvents, asbestos, or medical waste. Those need a household hazardous waste drop-off (Santa Clara County runs free HHW appointments). Ask when you call and we’ll point you the right way.
For a full breakdown of when San Jose’s free 311 curbside program is the right call — and when it isn’t — see my San Jose 311 junk pickup vs. hiring a hauler guide.
Yard waste and green waste are not part of the service. Branches, trimmings, grass clippings, sod, leaves, and landscaping debris are not accepted and will not be loaded.
San Jose residents with yard or green waste should use the city’s curbside green organics cart for routine yard trimmings. For everything that is not yard or green material, call (408) 359-1731 for a free on-site estimate on what we do haul.
Most junk removal jobs in San Jose are priced by how much room your items take up in the truck. A single item pickup typically runs in the low hundreds; a quarter to half truckload is the most common residential job; and a full truckload of a garage or apartment cleanout is the top of the range. Bulky, heavy, or hard-to-carry items (a hot tub, a piano, a shed) are quoted on their own. Because Santa Clara County landfill and recycling fees are built into every job, we always quote the full number in writing on-site before pros load — call (408) 359-1731 for a free estimate.
We sort it. Metal and appliances go to scrap recyclers, e-waste goes to certified electronics recycling, and furniture, housewares, and building materials in usable shape go to local donation centers rather than the dump. Only the true trash goes to Newby Island or a county transfer station. Diverting reusable and recyclable material keeps your cost down and keeps San Jose’s landfill diversion numbers where the county requires them.
