HOW CURBSIDE WORKS
Three steps. Then it's gone.
01
Stage it where we can drive up
Driveway, residential garage, carport, or alley. We need about 10 feet of width and height for the dump truck. You do not have to be home.
02
Text a photo or price it here
Send pictures to (619) 245-9957, or build a load on this site. Fred replies with a clear number. The price you accept is the amount you pay.
03
We load, sweep, and go
Same-day is often available Monday through Saturday. We text when we are on the way, load the staged pile, sweep the path, and take it to recycle, donate, or the transfer station.
WHY CURBSIDE
Same truck. Less labor. Lower price.
Full-service means we carry items from inside, upstairs, or the backyard. Curbside means you stage them at a drive-up spot and we skip that labor. A queen mattress is $69 at the curb versus $130 from a bedroom.
- No one has to be home
- No travel surcharge, no extra-man fee
- Quote from photos is the amount you pay
- Donate and recycle before landfill

QUESTIONS
Straight answers.
Do I need to be home?+
No. Curbside means the items sit at a drive-up spot — driveway, residential garage, carport, or alley. We load the truck. We text when we are on the way.
How much does curbside junk removal cost?+
Posted rates start at $69 for one item or a small load under 200 lbs. Two items are $119. Three items are $179. A packed dump bed is $599. Labor, haul, and disposal are included. The quote you accept from photos is the amount you pay.
How is this cheaper than full-service?+
You do the carrying to a drive-up spot, so we skip inside labor, stairs, and hallways. A queen mattress is $69 curbside versus $130 if we carry it out of a bedroom — about 46% less. Most curbside jobs save 30% or more.
How fast can you come?+
Same-day is often available across central San Diego, Monday through Saturday, 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Text a photo for a quote and a window. After-hours texts are answered the next business morning.
