One Trailer, Two Guys, and a Rule That Has Not Moved
Ask around this valley and you get the same two junk stories. Somebody called a national franchise about one couch and got quoted a number that made them keep the couch. Somebody else booked a cheap guy with a pickup, paid a deposit, got a window, and never saw him again — and nobody can tell you where that load went.
Weston Molitor started Wild West in 2021 to sit in the gap between those two. He still runs it out of the Niblick Road yard in Temecula, still answers the phone most of the day, and still holds to the same rule: quote it before you touch it, do the carrying so the customer never lifts anything, and sort the load before any of it goes near a landfill.
Here is the honest version of the operation. One dump trailer, twelve feet by eight by four, and the truck that pulls it. A two-man crew on a standard job — usually Nick and Jake, whose names you will see in the reviews further down this page — and more bodies added when a garage turns into an estate. That is it. There is no dispatch center, no franchise fee riding on top of your quote, and nobody in an office three states away deciding what your sofa is worth.
What five thousand loads buys you is not bragging rights, it is route knowledge. We know the drive back from Winchester eats an hour you have to build into the day. We know which Crowne Hill driveways you do not park a loaded trailer on. We know Old Town wants you in and gone before the shops open. That is why the windows we give you tend to hold.
Most of the work now comes from repeat customers and referrals. Call or text (951) 837-8072 and you reach Weston or one of the guys who will actually be standing in your garage. More on how the company got started if you want the long version.
The Neighborhoods: What Actually Slows a Job Down Here
Every tract in this valley has its own quirk. These are the ones that decide how long your pickup takes and whether we need a third guy.
Redhawk
Nineties tract on the southeast side with grown-in landscaping and a lot of hillside lots. Half the cul-de-sacs are too tight to swing a loaded trailer around, so we drop at the mouth of the street and hand-carry. Mature trees mean Redhawk generates more green waste hauls than anywhere else we run.
Harveston
Alley-loaded garages behind the homes and streets narrow enough that a parked trailer blocks traffic. We stage in the rear alley and load straight out of the garage, which keeps the HOA happy since nothing ever sits at the front curb. Closest side of town to the freeway, so Harveston gets same-day slots more often than anywhere else.
Old Town Temecula
Shared service alleys behind Front Street, timed street parking, and weekends that get eaten by the farmers market and car shows. Business cleanouts down here go on the schedule first thing in the morning, before the district wakes up. Most of it is hand-carry — there is nowhere to back a trailer to a door.
Temecula Wine Country
Long private drives off Rancho California and De Portola, decomposed granite instead of asphalt, and gates that need a code before we leave the pavement. The loads out here are ranch loads: pallets, vineyard stakes, shade cloth, old fencing. We book Wine Country as a first or last stop because of the drive.
South Temecula
The Pechanga Parkway and Temecula Parkway corridor is the easy end of our route — wide streets, driveways you can actually back into, and newer homes. Mostly garage cleanouts and appliance swaps. If you are down here, a morning call is usually an afternoon pickup.
Wolf Creek
Dense newer build with short driveways and tight side yards, so the trailer ends up partly in the street and we set cones. Getting a sectional out of a Wolf Creek side gate is a two-man, take-the-legs-off job about half the time. Heavy on patio furniture and playset removal once the weather turns.
Morgan Hill
Gated, and the guard needs us on the list or a call from you before we roll in — give us fifteen minutes of grace on the window if that call has not happened. Steep drives mean we park on the flat and carry down. Worth mentioning the grade when you book so the right crew size shows up.
Paseo del Sol
Central, off Margarita and De Portola, and the sweet spot for a clean half load. Standard two-car garages, straight shot from the garage door to the curb, no stairs. A lot of our downsizing and first-round declutter work lands here.
Crowne Hill
The steepest driveways in the city. We do not park a loaded trailer on a Crowne Hill grade, full stop — it stages on the flat curb and everything gets walked down. Budget a little extra time for the carry, and note the stair surcharge if the junk is coming out of a lower level.
Paloma del Sol
Older central tract with greenbelts and thirty-year-old trees. Two things come out of Paloma del Sol constantly: original builder appliances finally giving up, and brush after a windy week. Both are quarter-load jobs more often than people expect.
Roripaugh Ranch
Newest end of town off Butterfield Stage and Nicolas, which means move-in debris: crating, cardboard, flooring offcuts, packaging. Streets and access change as phases finish, so text us a map pin rather than trusting the GPS. See our construction debris hauling page if it is a job-site pile.
French Valley
Unincorporated county, not city — which means no city bulky-item program to fall back on. That is why we get called out here so much. Bigger lots, RV pads, outbuildings, and a longer run back to the transfer station, so French Valley jobs get booked early in the day.
Winchester
The far edge of our normal route up Winchester Road. Ranch parcels, outbuilding clearouts, and manure hauling. A four o'clock call from Winchester is honestly first thing tomorrow, and we would rather tell you that than book a window we cannot hold.
Not on that list? We also run the Murrieta side of the valley, Menifee, Wildomar, Lake Elsinore, Canyon Lake, De Luz, Rainbow, and Fallbrook. Call and we will tell you on the spot.
What Temecula and Murrieta Neighbors Say
Unedited reviews left on Google after a Wild West pickup.
Wild West Junk Removal is the real deal! They showed up on time, worked fast, and were super professional. The crew was friendly, respectful, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was cleaned up perfectly. Fair prices, great service. Will definitely be using them again!
Nick and the crew were on time and very professional. They removed reclining couches, an entertainment center, coffee table, and end tables from our upstairs loft. They were very careful and cleaned the area afterwards. Great price!! I would definitely recommend Wild West Junk Removal.
Wild West Junk Removal Service was great. Nick and Jake were friendly, fast, and really efficient. They gave me a fair price and were quick in and out, making the whole process hassle-free. I definitely recommend them.
Weston and his team are on it. I run a commercial operation and sometimes we need professionals to get rid of some insane types of junk. They respond as fast as any company I have seen, and get the job done 100% of the way with no shortcuts. Recommend highly without any reservation.

What We Haul
If it is not hazardous, it can probably go on the trailer today. Each page below has the specifics: what we handle on site, what you do not need to prep, and what actually moves the price.
Furniture Removal
Couches, sectionals, recliners, dressers, dining sets, bed frames, desks. We take the big pieces apart where they stand and pad the door frames on the way out.
Appliance Removal
Fridges, washers, dryers, ranges, water heaters, HVAC units. Sealed cooling units go to a processor set up to pull the refrigerant legally, and the metal goes to a scrapper.
Mattress Removal
Every size, plus box springs, futons, and adjustable bases. Routed to a mattress recycling collection point whenever one will take them.
Construction Debris
Drywall, lumber, tile, flooring, and demo waste. Valley contractors keep us on a recurring schedule so the pile never runs the project.
Yard Waste Removal
Branches, brush, palm fronds, sod, and green waste — the stuff that was never going to fit in the green bin. Composted rather than buried.
Estate Cleanouts
Whole-home clearing for probate, inherited homes, and downsizing. We sort for donation as we go and usually finish inside a day.
Commercial Junk Removal
Cubicles, desks, filing cabinets, retail fixtures, warehouse junk, tenant turnovers. Evenings and weekends for businesses that cannot stop midday.
Hot Tub Removal
We cut it apart on the pad and haul it in one trip. No draining, no disconnecting, no prep on your end.
Also on the truck most weeks: garage cleanouts, storage unit clearing, tenant turnovers, old TVs, e-waste, carpet and pad, pianos, and hoarding cleanups.
Not Sure If We Take It? Send a Photo.
Text a picture of the pile to (951) 837-8072 with something in frame for scale. You get a real number back, usually inside a few minutes, and no obligation attached to it.
What Junk Removal Costs in Temecula
We price by volume, not by the hour and not by weight. You pay for the space your stuff takes up in the trailer, and that one number covers the labor to carry it out, the drive, and the dump or recycling fees at the other end. The handful of surcharges that exist are printed below rather than sprung on you when the trailer is full.

What is already in that price
Labor, loading, the drive, dump and recycling fees, and a broom sweep of the area we worked in. There is no upcharge for a long carry from a back yard or for taking things apart, and no fuel or weight surcharge. Stairs, appliances, mattresses, and extra loading time carry the flat surcharges listed below. If it is in the quote, it is in the quote. Full rate card on our junk removal pricing page.
What a load fraction actually looks like
A quarter load (3 cu yd) is a washer and dryer plus a few boxes, or one sofa. A half load (6 cu yd) is a bedroom's worth of furniture, or a solid but not overstuffed one-car garage. A full load (12 cu yd) is a packed two-car garage or several rooms of an estate. Text photos and we will tell you which bracket you are in before we drive out. Larger jobs run as multiple loads at the same rates — see the full rate card and load-size guide.
Loading labor, fuel, and landfill disposal fees are all included in every price. One load is 12 cubic yards in a 12ft by 8ft by 4ft dump trailer.
Surcharge fees
- Additional loading time
- Each full load includes up to 1 hour of loading time with a two-person crew. If loading exceeds the included hour, an additional charge of $75 per hour, per crew member will apply.
- Stair carry surcharge
- $150 surcharge for loads up to one-half truck load that require carrying items up or down stairs. $300 surcharge for loads over one-half truck load that require carrying items up or down stairs.
- Other fees
- Appliance surcharge $30 · Mattress surcharge $15
Quarter load is our minimum. If you have a single item that fits in a pickup bed, the quarter-load rate is still what applies — the truck, the crew, and the disposal fee cost the same whether the trailer leaves half full or a quarter full.
Two things worth knowing. First, you see the number before we start, and if the load comes in smaller than quoted, the number comes down — you pay for what actually rides away. Second, weight is not a line item here. A trailer of drywall costs the same as a trailer of pillows, which is not true of a rented bin.
Worth checking before you call us at all: your city trash service already covers some of this. Temecula households have a franchise hauler with bulky-item pickups on a limited schedule, with rules about what qualifies and how it has to be staged at the curb. If your job fits inside that, use it, and we will say so. People call us when it does not fit — too much, too heavy, too soon, upstairs, or the kind of thing the curb program will not touch. The City of Temecula publishes what the city program covers.
How a Same-Day Pickup Actually Goes
Call, text, or send a photo
Reach us at (951) 837-8072. Tell us what needs to go, or text two or three photos with something in frame for scale. Weston answers and gives you a window.
Get a firm quote
We price by trailer volume and give you the all-in number up front. Labor, hauling, disposal, all of it. Nothing gets tacked on once the truck is half full.
We do the carrying
The crew turns up in the window and gets everything out: attic, back of the garage, up a flight, around a tight corner. You point, we lift.
Donate, recycle, then dump
Usable furniture and working appliances go to donation. Metal goes to the scrapper, covered electronics go to approved processors. Only what is genuinely left over gets buried.
We sweep the spot
Before we pull out we sweep where it all sat: the screws, the dust, the drywall crumbs. You get the space back cleaner than we found it.
Same-day pickups run Monday through Friday, 9am to 5pm, scheduling permitting. A morning call gives you the best shot at an afternoon slot. A 4:30pm call on a Friday is honestly Monday, and we would rather say so than book you into a window we cannot hold. Ready to lock one in? Book a pickup here.
"We started Wild West because the big franchises were charging this valley a few hundred bucks to take a couch. Nobody should need a second mortgage to get rid of an old sofa. We show up when we say, charge what we quoted, and leave the place cleaner than we found it."
What Happens to It After We Pull Out
Every load gets sorted before any of it moves toward a landfill. Furniture somebody else can use goes to donation partners. Working appliances go the same way when they still have life in them. Metal goes to a scrapper. Covered electronics go to CalRecycle-approved processors, because that is what state law requires and because a TV in a landfill is a problem for everybody. Green waste gets composted. Mattresses go to a recycling collection point whenever one will take them.
What is left after all that — and it is usually a lot less than what went on the trailer — goes to a licensed disposal facility.
We do not publish a diversion percentage, because we do not weigh and log every load, and a number we cannot back up is worth nothing to you. What we will tell you is where a specific load went if you ask. Hazardous material we cannot legally touch: wet paint, solvents, motor oil, pool chemicals, propane, anything with asbestos in it. Those go to a Riverside County household hazardous waste collection site, and we will point you at the nearest one.
Why the Valley Keeps Calling
Local owners, a fair number, and a reputation built one truckload at a time.
Local Owners, Not a Franchise
Weston runs it out of Temecula. Call and you get an owner who knows the route, the transfer station hours, and your street. The money stays in the valley.
Licensed and Insured
Full liability coverage for your property, our crew, and every load, and we bring the paperwork to the job. Property managers ask for it. We hand it over.
Same-Day, Five Days a Week
When the schedule allows we can be there the same day, Monday through Friday, 9am to 5pm. No waiting until a week from Thursday.
5,000+ Loads Since 2021
Garages, estates, job sites, and offices across eight valley cities. There is not much left we have not walked down a flight of stairs.
The Landfill Is the Last Stop
Donation first, then metal and e-waste recycling, then green waste to compost. Whatever survives that sorting is the only part that gets buried.
One Price, No Surprises
We quote before we lift, and the surcharge list is printed on this page rather than discovered on the invoice. No fuel surcharge, no weight fee, and nothing added once the trailer is loaded and you are out of options.
Cheaper and Easier Than a Dumpster, Most of the Time
People weighing a roll-off usually talk themselves out of it once they run the math. A bin sits in your driveway for a week or two, may need a street permit depending on where it lands, charges you by weight, and leaves every bit of the lifting to you. We bring the trailer and the crew, load it in one visit, and drive off with it the same afternoon.
There is a real case for a dumpster — a long remodel where debris trickles out over two weeks is the obvious one — and we will tell you when you are in it. We rent them too, so we are not talking you out of anything we do not offer. See the dumpster rental and full-service comparison →
Questions People Ask Before They Call
How much does junk removal cost in Temecula?
Wild West Junk Removal prices by volume. A quarter load is 3 cubic yards at $195 and is our minimum pickup. A half load is 6 cubic yards at $350. A three-quarter load is 9 cubic yards at $495. A full load is 12 cubic yards at $595. That one number covers labor, the haul, and the dump or recycling fees. Stairs, appliances, mattresses, and loading time beyond the first hour carry published flat surcharges. Text photos to (951) 837-8072 and you will have a price before anyone drives out.
What are your hours, and are you open 24/7 or on weekends?
No, we are not a 24/7 operation. Wild West Junk Removal is open Monday through Friday, 9am to 5pm, and closed Saturday and Sunday. Calls and texts that come in after hours get answered first thing the next business morning. Commercial and property-manager jobs that have to happen outside those hours can sometimes be arranged in advance, so ask when you call.
Can you do same-day junk removal in Temecula?
Most weekdays, yes. Call or text before noon and we can usually be out that afternoon anywhere in the Temecula Valley. Same-day pickups run Monday through Friday, 9am to 5pm, scheduling permitting, so a morning call gives you the best shot at a same-day window. A late-afternoon call from a far corner of the route like Winchester or French Valley is usually first thing the following morning.
What cities and neighborhoods do you serve?
Temecula, Murrieta, Menifee, Wildomar, Winchester, French Valley, Lake Elsinore, and Canyon Lake, plus De Luz, Rainbow, and Fallbrook. Inside Temecula we run Redhawk, Harveston, Old Town, Wine Country, South Temecula, Wolf Creek, Morgan Hill, Paseo del Sol, Crowne Hill, Paloma del Sol, and Roripaugh Ranch. If you are near the I-15 in southwest Riverside County we have almost certainly got you covered. Call to confirm your address.
Where are you located?
Wild West Junk Removal is based at 41713 Niblick Rd, Temecula, CA 92591. We are a mobile hauling service rather than a drop-off yard, so jobs are scheduled by phone or text at (951) 837-8072 and the crew comes to you.
What will you not take?
By law we cannot haul hazardous material: wet paint, solvents, motor oil, pool chemicals, propane tanks, or anything containing asbestos. Those need a Riverside County household hazardous waste collection site, and we will point you to the nearest one. Short of that it goes, from furniture and appliances to mattresses, e-waste, hot tubs, yard and construction debris, whole garages, and estate cleanouts.
Do I have to move anything to the curb first?
No. The crew goes wherever the junk is, inside the house, up in the attic, the back of the garage, and carries it all out. You point, we lift. Mention tight stairs, a steep driveway, or a gate code when you call so the right crew size shows up on the first trip.
Do you charge extra for stairs, appliances, or mattresses?
Yes, and the amounts are published rather than added at the end. Stairs add $150 on loads up to a half truck load and $300 on loads over a half truck load. Appliances add $30 each and mattresses add $15 each. Each full load includes up to one hour of loading with a two-person crew, and loading past that hour is $75 per hour per crew member. There is no fuel surcharge and no weight fee.
What happens to the junk after you haul it away?
Every load gets sorted before anything sees a landfill. Usable furniture and working appliances go to donation partners, metal goes to scrap recyclers, covered electronics go to CalRecycle-approved processors, and green waste goes to compost. Whatever is left after that sorting, and only that, goes to a licensed disposal facility. If you want to know where a specific load ended up, ask and we will tell you.
Is hiring you cheaper than renting a dumpster?
For most home cleanups, yes, and it is far less work. A dumpster ties up your driveway for a week or two, may need a street permit, and charges you for weight you loaded yourself. We bring the trailer and the crew and clear it in one visit at one price confirmed before we lift a thing. A long remodel with debris coming out over two weeks is the case where a bin genuinely wins, and we rent those too.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Wild West Junk Removal is licensed and carries liability insurance covering your property, our crew, and every load, and we bring the documentation to the job. Property managers and commercial clients ask for it regularly, and we hand it over without being chased.
How fast can I get a price?
Usually within minutes. Text a couple of photos to (951) 837-8072 with something in frame for scale and Weston or the crew will send back a bracket. The firm number is confirmed on site before work starts, and if the load comes in smaller than quoted, the price comes down.
Do you handle commercial, property-manager, and tenant turnover jobs?
Yes. Offices, retail spaces, warehouses, and rental turnovers are a steady part of the schedule, including cubicles, desks, filing cabinets, and fixtures. Turnovers between tenants can be scheduled around your leasing calendar, and standing pickup schedules are available for property managers running multiple units. Ask when you call.
Can I just use my city bulky-item pickup instead?
Sometimes, and if that is the cheaper answer we will say so. City franchise programs cover a limited number of bulky pickups a year, restrict what qualifies, and expect you to stage everything at the curb yourself. Unincorporated areas like French Valley do not have a city program at all. People call us when the job is too big, too heavy, too soon, upstairs, or full of things the curb program will not take.
How do I book a pickup?
Call or text (951) 837-8072, or send a photo of what needs to go. You reach Weston or the crew directly rather than a call center, get a window and a price, and we handle the rest. Same-day is often available Monday through Friday across Temecula, Murrieta, and the wider valley.
