Junk Removal FAQ — San Jose, CA

Junk removal here is priced by volume — the space your items take in the truck. A single item runs in the low hundreds, a quarter-to-half load is the most common residential job, and a full truck (a packed garage or apartment) is the top of the range. Santa Clara County disposal fees are folded in, so you get a firm written price on-site before we load. Call (408) 359-1731 for a free estimate on your specific pile.

Often, yes — especially for single items, half-loads, and move-outs. Call (408) 359-1731 early in the day and we’ll tell you honestly whether we can reach you today or book the next open slot. Real-estate and move deadlines get priority in the schedule.

Almost anything non-hazardous: furniture, mattresses and box springs, appliances (including freon refrigerators, recycled to code), electronics and e-waste, construction and remodel debris, hot tubs, yard debris, and general household clutter — from any room, garage, shed, or yard.

Household hazardous waste: wet paint, motor oil, solvents, pesticides, propane tanks, asbestos, and medical waste. These are banned from the landfill and need Santa Clara County’s free HHW drop-off (by appointment). Tell us what you have and we’ll clear everything else and point you to the drop-off for the rest.

Yes — we divert first. Metal and appliances go to scrap recyclers, electronics to certified e-waste recycling, mattresses to California’s Bye Bye Mattress program, and usable furniture and housewares to local donation centers. Only true trash goes to the landfill, which keeps your cost down and meets the county’s diversion rules.

No. That’s the point of hiring us — we carry every item out from wherever it sits, including upstairs apartments with no elevator, back yards, and packed garages. Just point out what’s going and what’s staying.
