Property Manager Junk Removal FAQs

Yes, and it is the single most common thing we carry out of a turnover. Couches and sectionals, recliners, bed frames, dressers, dining sets, desks, entertainment centers, shelving and patio furniture. If it is upstairs, we take it apart and carry it down. There is no separate per-item furniture charge on a turnover, because it goes into the load volume like everything else.

Yes, whether it is one abandoned washer in a garage or a full kitchen's worth. The surcharge is $30 per appliance, and it exists because sealed units cannot legally ride to the same place as the rest of the load. Anything holding refrigerant has to be certified and drained before disposal, so refrigerators, freezers and window AC units route separately from the trailer. We handle the disconnection. And the fridge that has been shut in a vacant unit since the tenant left is a job for people with a trailer parked outside, not for the maintenance tech who has to keep working in that unit afterward.

Yes, and on a single-family rental the garage is usually the largest part of the job. Shelving, boxes, tools, tires, paint racks, bicycles and years of accumulation that the tenant never intended to move. Carports, storage closets and side yards are part of the same scope and the same quote rather than a second trip. If the garage is the only thing that needs clearing, our garage cleanout service handles it on its own.

We do the physical part, which is the loading, the hauling and the disposal. We do not decide what is legally clear to throw away, and you should be wary of any hauler who offers to. California requires written notice before a former tenant's belongings can be disposed of, and the claim window is generally at least 15 days after personal delivery of the notice or 18 days after mailing. You or your attorney confirm what has cleared that process, you tell us what goes, and we remove it. Spoiled food and obvious health hazards can often be pulled sooner, and we can split the job that way if it helps you make the unit safe while the clock runs.

Hazardous waste, which means paint, solvents, motor oil, gasoline, pesticides, pool chemicals, propane tanks, asbestos, ammunition, and medical or biohazard waste. Those belong at a Riverside County household hazardous waste facility, and we will tell you exactly what we found and where it is sitting rather than quietly leaving it in a corner. Units with severe hoarding conditions or biohazard risk go to our hoarder cleanout service instead, which uses crews equipped for those conditions.

It comes off the property in a box handed to your office, not on the trailer. Mail, tax documents, identification, banking paperwork and photographs turn up in turnovers more often than people expect, and hauling them is how a routine deposit dispute becomes a much worse conversation. Same rule for anything that looks valuable rather than discarded. We set it aside and let you make the call.

Yes, and it is most of what we do on the rental side. A standing arrangement means we learn your properties, your access and your paperwork once instead of every job. You get one point of contact, which is Weston, priority scheduling when the calendar is tight, a certificate of insurance and W-9 kept on file with your accounting department, and the same published load rates on every job so your budget numbers hold. There is no contract and no minimum volume, so nothing is being locked in on either side.

Yes, on a schedule as well as on call. Some communities have us out on a set interval for dumpster corral overflow, common-area bulk items and abandoned furniture that appears in breezeways and carports, separate from any unit turnover. Others simply text when a turnover comes up. Either way it is the same rates and the same crew, and you can start with on-call work and move to a schedule once you see how often you are actually calling.

We invoice per property or per unit rather than collecting on site, so the charge drops into the correct file or owner statement without anyone re-keying it. If your accounting department needs a property code, a work-order number or a specific reference on the invoice, tell us once and it appears on every invoice after that. Before-and-after photos of the cleared unit are available on request at no extra charge, which settles most deposit questions before they turn into disputes.

Call or text Weston at (951) 837-8072 and walk him through how your properties are set up, who authorizes work at the property level, and what your accounting department needs on an invoice. He sends over the certificate of insurance and W-9, and after that a turnover is one text message. Nobody signs anything, and the conversation costs nothing whether you use us or not.
