What Do Temecula Customers Ask About Junk Removal?

Pricing is based on volume, meaning how much space your items fill in our 12-cubic-yard trailer. A quarter load of 3 cubic yards is $195, which is also our minimum pickup. A half load of 6 cubic yards is $350, a three-quarter load of 9 cubic yards is $495, and a full 12-cubic-yard load is $595. Those figures cover labor, hauling, and disposal, and the crew confirms the number on site before anything is loaded.

There are no fuel surcharges and no separate dump fee added later. A short list of surcharges can apply on top of the load price, for stairs, extra loading time, appliances, and mattresses, and all four are published on this page. Whatever applies to your job is quoted in the driveway before anything moves.

Four steps. You text a photo or call and describe the pile, and we send back a load size and a firm price the same day. You pick a two-hour arrival window, often same-day if you call before noon. The crew arrives and checks the pile against the photo before touching anything: if it comes in smaller, you pay the smaller price, and if it grew, we re-quote before anything goes on the trailer, so you can still walk away at no cost. Once you approve it we load, sweep the space, and take payment when the job is done.

Often, yes. Same-day service is available when the schedule allows, and calling before noon gives you the best odds. We run two-hour arrival windows and text you when the truck is on the way. During spring cleanout season and the weeks around the holidays availability tightens, so booking a day or two ahead is the safer play. Texting a photo of your items is the fastest way to get scheduled.

The City of Temecula offers curbside bulky item collection to residents through its franchise hauler, CR&R. Residents get two free pickups a year, arranged in advance by calling CR&R at (800) 755-8112 and placed on a route schedule that decides the timing. It is a good free option for one couch or one mattress at the curb, and the mattress removal page compares the other free ways to get rid of a mattress. Our service exists for the jobs that program is not built for: a full garage, an estate cleanout, items inside the house or upstairs, or anything that has to be gone before a specific date.

No. We carry everything out, whether it is an upstairs bedroom, a back yard, a garage, or a storage unit. You do not lift anything. The only prep that genuinely helps is clearing walkways of tripping hazards, unplugging any appliances the night before, and setting aside anything you want to keep so it does not end up on the truck by mistake.

Furniture, appliances, mattresses, electronics, yard waste, construction debris, carpet, hot tubs, pianos, exercise equipment, storage unit contents, and general household junk. We will take a full trailer load or one single item, though the $195 minimum applies either way. The fastest way to confirm is to text a photo to (951) 837-8072 and we will tell you right away.

Household hazardous waste is the main list: paint, solvents, motor oil, propane tanks and other pressurized cylinders, asbestos, and chemical drums. We also cannot handle medical or biohazard waste, or mattresses with an active bedbug infestation. Riverside County runs free household hazardous waste drop-off events year round, and if you are unsure about a specific item, call before you book and we will tell you where it should go.

Heavy items and long carries, no. The price is set by how much space your items take up in the trailer, and there is no weight fee, no disassembly fee, and no fuel surcharge. Stairs are the exception: carrying items up or down stairs adds $150 on loads up to a half load and $300 on loads over a half load.

Two facility fees also pass through, $30 per appliance and $15 per mattress, and loading time past the hour included with a full load runs $75 per hour per crew member. All of it is quoted before anything moves, and nothing is added after the load is on.

Yes. Refrigerants such as R-22 and R-134a have to be recovered by a certified technician under federal EPA Section 608 rules, so we haul the unit to a certified appliance recycling facility where the refrigerant is captured before the shell is scrapped. The $30 appliance surcharge covers that facility's fee. Please unplug the refrigerator at least 24 hours before pickup and empty out all food and liquids, because a defrosting fridge on a truck ramp makes a mess nobody enjoys.

These get planned ahead rather than improvised. A hot tub usually needs a crew of two to four depending on where it sits and how tight the access is, and it often has to be cut down before it leaves the yard. Pianos get the same treatment, whether upright, spinet, or grand. Price depends on the volume it fills and the access difficulty rather than a flat item fee, so text a photo that shows the item and the path out, and we will quote it the same day.

Every load gets sorted before it reaches a transfer station. Usable furniture goes to donation centers in Temecula and Murrieta, metal goes to the scrap yard, electronics go to a certified e-waste handler because California classifies items like CRT televisions as hazardous waste, and green waste goes to compost. On a typical mixed residential load we divert roughly 40 to 60 percent from the landfill. It is not everything, and we would rather give you the real number than a slogan.

Our trucks run throughout Southwest Riverside County: Murrieta, Menifee, Wildomar, Lake Elsinore, Canyon Lake, Winchester, and French Valley. We also regularly work De Luz, Rainbow, and Fallbrook. Office hours are Monday through Saturday, 7am to 7pm, and we are closed Sunday. If you are not sure whether we reach your address, call and ask, because our radius runs wider than most of the local outfits.
