Old furniture, hot tubs, garages full of stuff: we haul it.
Family-owned San Jose movers since 1990. The same trained crews that move households also do junk hauling, cleanouts, and big-item removal across the Bay Area. Usable items go to local nonprofits, and we recycle what we can.
We haul pretty much anything that isn't hazardous.
If two people can't carry it out the door, we're probably the right call.
Furniture & appliances
Couches, sectionals, beds and mattresses, dressers, dining sets, washers and dryers, refrigerators, ovens, water heaters. Anything you don't want and can't easily move yourself.
Hot tubs & big-ticket items
On a hot tub removal, the crew disconnects the electrical and plumbing, cuts the tub into sections if it won't fit out whole, and hauls it off. We take pool tables, treadmills, swing sets, and sheds too.
Garage, attic & basement cleanouts
Years of accumulated stuff: old furniture, holiday decor, exercise equipment, kids' toys, broken appliances, that one mystery box from the last move. We sort it, send what's usable to donation, and haul the rest.
Post-renovation & post-construction debris
Drywall, lumber, old flooring, fixtures pulled during the remodel, packaging from new furniture, leftover materials from the GC. We haul what the contractor didn't.
Yard waste & outdoor items
Old fencing, busted patio furniture, deck boards, broken planters, accumulated yard clutter. Larger than what your green bin will take and not worth a dump run.
Estate & inheritance cleanouts
For an inherited property, a parent's downsizing, or an estate settlement, we work carefully. Items still in good shape get routed to donation or family if requested, and the rest is hauled and properly disposed of.
What we don't haul
- ·Hazardous waste: paint, solvents, chemicals, asbestos, propane tanks, batteries, fluorescent bulbs
- ·Wet trash, food waste, rotting organic material
- ·Live animals, biological waste, medical sharps
- ·Guns and ammunition
Six reasons people call us.
Pre-move purge
You're about to move and the new place is smaller, or you just don't want to pay to move stuff you don't need. We haul the cuts before the move so you're paying movers to relocate only what you're actually keeping.
Post-move excess
Move's done, but the boxes the previous owner left, the furniture that didn't fit, the packing debris: none of it has a home. One pickup gets the place clean.
Selling or staging a home
Realtor wants the garage and basement empty for showings. We clear it out fast so the listing photos and walkthroughs land cleanly.
Renovation or remodel cleanup
GC or contractor finished the job and left the dumpster behind, or didn't. We pick up what's left so the new floors and fresh paint aren't sharing space with debris.
Spring cleaning, finally
You've been putting it off, and the garage stopped holding a car a long time ago. The crew clears it out and you get the space back.
Estate or downsizing
Whether you're settling a parent's home, inheriting a property, or helping family through a transition, we handle it with respect: donation routing for usable items and careful disposal for the rest.
Why hire movers for junk hauling
The same crews that move your household
We're a 36-year San Jose moving company, not a national junk-hauling franchise. The crew that hauls your old couch is the same one that would move your house.
Same crew as our moves
The crew that shows up is the same crew that does our moves: background-checked, in uniform, and insured, not contractors we found on a job board.
Real trucks, real equipment
Box trucks, flatbeds, forklift and telehandler when needed for heavy stuff. We don't show up with a pickup truck and hope it fits.
Donation routing
Anything still useful (furniture, appliances, kids' stuff, working electronics) routes to local nonprofits and operators rather than the dumpster.
Recycling diversion
Metals, electronics, cardboard, clean wood get sorted and routed to recyclers. We work to keep the actual disposal pile small.
Insured & licensed
USDOT 1962166 and CAL T 188960, with general liability coverage and workers' comp for every crew member.
36 years in San Jose
Family-owned since 1990, not a national franchise running a Bay Area outpost. We live here, our crews live here, and our reputation is local.
Junk hauling questions, answered
ShowHide
How is junk hauling priced?
Pricing depends on volume (how much truck space your stuff takes up), labor (how long it takes to load), and any specialty handling: hot tubs, pool tables, garage cleanouts with sorting, estate work. After a quick walkthrough or a look at your photos, we give you a written quote, so you know the number before pickup day.
Do you provide same-day or next-day service?
Sometimes, when a crew is free. A single item (one piece of furniture, one appliance, one hot tub) is easier to fit in on short notice than a garage, estate, or multi-room cleanout, which needs time to match the crew and trucks to the job. Call (408) 941-0600 and we'll give you the earliest date we have.
Will you donate items rather than just throwing them out?
Yes, and we'd rather. Furniture in good shape, working appliances, intact kitchenware, kids' items, books: these route to local nonprofits, donation centers, and Habitat ReStores rather than the dump. We can't promise zero-landfill on every job, but we work to keep the disposal share small.
Can you remove a hot tub or pool table by yourselves?
Yes. For hot tub removal, the crew disconnects the electrical and plumbing, cuts the tub into sections when it won't fit out whole, and loads it onto a flatbed or box truck. Pool tables come apart into slate, frame, and rails.
What if I'm not sure exactly what needs to go?
That's fine. Most cleanouts start with the customer pointing at zones ("this whole garage," "this side of the basement," "all of the patio stuff"). The crew sorts as they go, asks before hauling anything that looks borderline, and we adjust the quote on the fly if the actual volume is smaller or larger than expected.
Do you do estate cleanouts?
Yes. We handle them carefully. Most estate cleanouts have items the family wants to keep, items they want donated, and items to dispose of. We go zone by zone, ask before anything goes in the truck, and route donation items to local nonprofits.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Our USDOT number is 1962166 and our California license is CAL T 188960, issued by the Bureau of Household Goods and Services. We carry general liability coverage and workers' compensation for every crew member, and we can issue a certificate of insurance on request.
What about hazmat: paint, batteries, chemicals?
We don't haul hazardous waste. Santa Clara County and most Bay Area counties run free or low-cost household hazardous waste drop-offs for residents.
Do you serve outside San Jose?
Yes. We cover the entire Bay Area: San Francisco, Peninsula, East Bay, South Bay, North Bay. Larger or more remote jobs we'll quote case-by-case based on travel time and crew availability.
Tell us what needs to go.
Photos work fine. Send a few, or call and we'll set up a quick walkthrough. Either way, the quote comes back in writing.
