Our Story
Why a Local Junk Removal Company in Temecula Made Sense
Wild West Junk Removal started in 2021 with one truck, one trailer, and a gap nobody in this valley was filling. On one side you had national franchises quoting a Temecula family close to three hundred dollars to carry off a single sofa. On the other side you had guys off a classified ad who took a deposit, gave you a four hour window, and never turned up. When they did turn up, nobody could tell you whether they carried insurance or where the load was headed after it left your driveway.
Weston Molitor figured there ought to be something in between. He built it here in Temecula and the model has not moved since. Price the job before you lift it. Do the carrying so the customer never touches the heavy end. Sort the load so the landfill gets what is left over instead of what showed up first.
We are not a chain. We are not a lead broker selling your phone number to three companies at once. We are not renting a logo from a head office two thousand miles away. We are a local junk removal company in Temecula, and the truck you see on Rancho California Road is the same truck that pulls into your driveway.
Most of the calls we take now come from somebody we already hauled for, or from the neighbor they told. Five years in, referrals are still the only marketing plan this company has ever really had.
The Owner
Meet Weston Molitor, Owner of Wild West Junk Removal
Call the number on this page and you are talking to the man whose name sits on the insurance certificate.
Weston Molitor
Weston is usually the voice on the other end of the line. He takes the calls, writes the quotes, sets the schedule, and he is still out running crews most weeks of the year. If you booked a pickup in Temecula and somebody gave you a time, odds are that was him.
He has spent five years learning this valley the slow way. He knows which gated communities in Redhawk and Wolf Creek want a vendor pass at the kiosk, which Old Town alleys a trailer can actually turn around in, and what time the transfer station line stops being worth sitting in. No franchise manual teaches that. It comes from doing it here, load after load.
I started Wild West because the big franchises were charging this valley a few hundred bucks to take one couch. Nobody should need a second mortgage to get rid of an old sofa. We show up when we say, we charge what we quoted, and we leave the place cleaner than we found it.
Licensed and Insured
What Licensed and Insured Actually Buys You
Junk removal is one of the few trades where a stranger walks into your house, picks up something heavy, and carries it down your stairs. That is a real risk and it is worth asking who carries it. If the hauler has no insurance and puts a dolly through your drywall, or wrenches a back on your staircase, the exposure lands on your homeowner policy. It happens more than people think, and it is the main reason we tell customers to ask before they book anybody, us included.
Wild West is a licensed business carrying general liability insurance that covers your property, our crew, and the load while it is in transit. The paperwork rides with us. If you manage property, stage listings, or sit on an HOA board that needs a certificate on file before we come through the gate, say so when you book and you will have it before the truck rolls.
- General liability coverage on your property, our crew, and the load while it is in transit
- Certificates of insurance issued ahead of the job for HOAs, property managers, and commercial sites
- Every load tipped at a permitted facility under a weight ticket, never a wash and never a vacant lot
- Documentation carried on the truck, and we would rather you asked to see it than assumed
Why the disposal side matters as much as the insurance
An uninsured hauler with nowhere legitimate to tip has one cheap option, and it is your old water heater sitting in a wash off De Portola. Riverside County enforces against illegal dumping, and the citation lands on the property owner far more often than people expect. Ask any hauler where the load goes and whether they can show you the ticket.

What We Stand On
Four Decisions Made in 2021 That Have Not Bent Since
A Price Before We Lift
You get the number first, before anybody touches anything. It covers labor, hauling, and the dump or recycling fee. If the job carries an add-on, a stair carry or an appliance, that is on the quote too. You hear it on the phone, not after the trailer is half full and you have no leverage left.
Licensed and Insured, Every Job
Liability coverage on your property, our crew, and the load. We carry the documentation on the truck. Ask to see it. We would rather you did, and we would rather you asked the other bidder too.
The Landfill Is the Last Stop
Usable furniture and working appliances go to donation. Metal, cardboard, and e-waste go to processors. What is genuinely finished gets buried, and that is the smallest share of the load we can make it.
We Treat Your Home Like Ours
Door frames get padded. Corners get watched. The spot where the thing used to sit gets swept before we pull out. You should not be able to tell we were there except by the empty space.
How a Job Goes
From Your Call to an Empty Garage
-
Call or Text a Photo
Ring (951) 837-8072 or text a picture of the pile. A photo is faster than a description and gets you a firmer number.
-
Get a Real Price
We quote from volume, not an hourly clock. The number covers labor, hauling, and disposal, plus any add-on the job calls for, and you hear all of it before we start.
-
Pick a Window
We hold same-day slots most days, so call early in the day if you need it today. Otherwise we set a window and we show up inside it.
-
Point, and We Carry
Upstairs loft, side yard, back of the garage. You point at what goes. Nobody expects you to drag it to the curb. Mention stairs when you call so the quote covers them.
-
Sorted, Not Dumped
Donations get dropped, recyclables go to processors, and the remainder is tipped at a permitted facility. Then we sweep.
Where It Goes
Where Your Junk Actually Goes
Most haulers will not answer this question, which is a reasonable thing to be suspicious about. Here is our answer. Every load gets sorted, either at the curb or back at the yard, before anything gets tipped.
- Donation first. Furniture with life left, working appliances, tools, unopened household goods. These go to local charities and thrift operations in the valley. On a typical residential cleanout this is the biggest single share of what we pull out, and it is the part customers are usually most relieved to hear about.
- Recycling second. Scrap metal, appliances with steel and copper, cardboard, and CRV go to processors. Televisions, monitors, computers, and batteries are barred from burial in California and get routed to certified e-waste handlers instead of the dump.
- Green waste and organics. Yard debris, branches, and brush go to composting and mulch rather than a hole in the ground. California’s SB 1383 pushed hard on this, and CalRecycle sets the diversion targets the whole state gets measured against.
- Landfill last. Whatever is left, mixed construction debris, ruined carpet, broken particle board, goes to a permitted facility such as El Sobrante Landfill in Corona under a weight ticket. That is the only material that gets buried, and it is the pile we are always trying to shrink.
What we cannot take, and why
Paint, solvents, motor oil, pool chemicals, propane, asbestos, and medical sharps have to go through Riverside County’s household hazardous waste program, which is free for residents. That is not a preference, it is the law. If any of it is mixed into your job, tell us on the phone and we will point you at the nearest collection facility. See everything we take and do not take before you book.
Our Service Area
Rooted in the Temecula Valley
This is home turf. We haul out of Old Town, Redhawk, Harveston, Vail Ranch, Meadowview, Paloma del Sol, and the Wine Country stretch off Rancho California, then out to Murrieta, Menifee, Wildomar, Winchester, French Valley, Lake Elsinore, and Canyon Lake. Living here is not a marketing line. It is why we know the gate codes and the HOA vendor rules, why we know which streets a trailer cannot back down, and why we can tell you on the phone whether your job is a two hour morning or a full day.
It also means we know the seams in the local system, because our customers keep falling through them. The City of Temecula gives residents two free bulky item pickups a year through CR&R, its franchised hauler, capped at two items per call. That is genuinely useful, and if your job fits inside it we will tell you to use it. But a garage cleanout is not two items, an estate is not two items, and a torn out kitchen is not two items. That is the day people call us.
Money spent with a family owned junk removal company stays in the valley, and so do the donations. When we pull a usable dresser or a working washer out of your cleanout, it goes to a local charity that can put it in a valley home instead of onto a pallet headed somewhere else.
What We Haul
One Old Television or a Full Estate
Same crew, same flat volume price, same sorting on the back end.

Weston Molitor is the founder and sole owner of Wild West Junk Removal. He started the company in Temecula in 2021, still writes the quotes and sets the schedule himself, and he is out running crews most weeks of the year. He is the only founder of the business.
We are based at 41713 Niblick Rd, Temecula, CA 92591, and the trucks roll out of Temecula every day we run. From there we cover Murrieta, Menifee, Wildomar, Winchester, French Valley, Lake Elsinore, Canyon Lake, and the surrounding parts of southwest Riverside County. Call or text (951) 837-8072.
We run Monday through Saturday, 7am to 7pm, and we are closed Sunday. Early mornings and Saturdays are the two windows people ask for most, so book those a day or two ahead when you can. Call or text (951) 837-8072 inside those hours and you get a real person, not a queue.
Yes. Wild West Junk Removal is a licensed business carrying general liability insurance that covers your property, our crew, and every load we haul. We keep the documentation on the truck and we are glad to show it. If your HOA, property manager, or commercial site needs a certificate of insurance on file before we arrive, ask when you book and we will send it ahead.
Since 2021. In that time we have cleared more than 5,000 loads across Temecula, Murrieta, Menifee, and the rest of the Temecula Valley. Most of the calls we take now come from a repeat customer or from somebody that customer told.
We sort every load before anything gets buried. Usable furniture and working appliances go to donation, scrap metal and cardboard go to processors, televisions and other electronics go to certified e-waste handlers because California bars them from landfill, and yard debris goes to composting. Only what is genuinely finished goes to a permitted landfill such as El Sobrante in Corona, and it goes there under a weight ticket.
We price by how much room your junk takes up in the truck, not by the hour. A quarter load is $195, a half load is $350, a three-quarter load is $495, and a full 12 cubic yard load is $595. That covers the labor, the hauling, and the disposal or recycling fee. A few jobs carry an add-on, a stair carry or an appliance, and you hear about it on the phone instead of after we are loaded. Our junk removal pricing page has the full schedule, or text a photo to (951) 837-8072 for a real number.
No. That is the job. We do the carrying, whether the thing is in an upstairs loft, behind a side gate, out in the backyard, or buried at the back of the garage. You point at what goes and we handle the rest. Stairs do carry a surcharge, $150 on loads up to a half truck load and $300 on loads over a half truck load, so mention the stairs when you call and it lands in the quote instead of surprising you on the day.
Temecula, Murrieta, Menifee, Wildomar, Lake Elsinore, Canyon Lake, Winchester, and French Valley, plus the surrounding parts of southwest Riverside County and out toward Hemet, Fallbrook, and Rainbow. If you sit near the edge of that map, call and ask. We usually can.
Often, yes. We hold same-day slots most days, and your odds are best if you call early in the day. It comes down to where the trucks already are and how big your job is. Call (951) 837-8072 and we will tell you straight whether today works or whether tomorrow is the honest answer.
Yes. We cannot take hazardous material, which means paint, solvents, motor oil, pool chemicals, propane tanks, asbestos, and medical sharps. Those have to go through Riverside County’s household hazardous waste program, which is free for residents, and that is state and county rule rather than a preference of ours. Everything else is fair game. Our what we take and do not take page has the full list.
Not always. Plenty of our property manager, realtor, and out-of-state estate customers set the job up by phone and photo and never meet us on site. If the items are reachable and we have agreed on the scope and the price in advance, we can run the job without you there and send photos when it is done.
Call or text (951) 837-8072 and send a photo of the pile. A picture beats a description almost every time and gets you a firmer number. Estimates are free, there is no deposit, and the price you hear before we start is the price you pay unless you add items to the load.
