Construction Debris Removal in Downtown Los Angeles

Drywall, lumber, tile, concrete and remodel debris hauled off, with the recycling documentation your permit may require.

The Junkiez provides same-day construction debris removal in Downtown Los Angeles. Drywall, lumber, tile, concrete and remodel debris hauled off, with the recycling documentation your permit may require.

Remodel debris is heavy, and weight is what makes it different from every other job we do. A half truck of drywall and tile can outweigh a full truck of furniture, so this is the one category where we sometimes cap by weight rather than volume. We work with contractors on live sites and with homeowners who took on a bathroom themselves and now have a driveway full of it.

Construction Debris in Downtown Los Angeles

Downtown is a building-management market more than a residential one. Almost every pickup here runs through a loading dock, a freight elevator with a booked time window, and a building engineer who wants a certificate of insurance naming the owner as additional insured before anything moves. Converted lofts in the Historic Core add their own wrinkle: freight elevators in hundred-year-old buildings are small, slow, and occasionally out of service.

We book dock time and issue COIs as a matter of routine here — send us the building’s requirements when you book and we will handle the paperwork rather than turning up and being refused entry. For Arts District office and studio clear-outs we schedule after hours, which most buildings require anyway and which avoids the loading-dock queue entirely.

What we take

  • Drywall, plaster and lath
  • Lumber, framing offcuts and plywood
  • Tile, porcelain, stone and grout
  • Concrete, brick, block and rubble
  • Cabinetry, countertops and fixtures
  • Roofing, shingles and underlayment
  • Flooring, carpet, pad and underlay
  • Windows, doors, trim and mouldings
  • Metal, conduit, wiring and ducting

The diversion paperwork your permit needs

Most Southern California jurisdictions require construction and demolition projects over a size threshold to divert a set percentage of debris — frequently 65% or more — from landfill, and to prove it before final sign-off. The City of Los Angeles requires C&D waste go to a certified processing facility. We deliver to certified facilities and can provide the weight tickets and diversion documentation. Ask for it at booking; retrofitting the paperwork after the fact is painful.

Frequently asked questions

Do you provide C&D recycling documentation?

Yes — weight tickets and diversion documentation from certified facilities. Request it when booking.

Can you take concrete and dirt?

Yes, in limited volumes. Dense material is capped by weight rather than volume, so tell us what you have.

Do you handle asbestos or lead paint?

No. Those require a licensed abatement contractor. We will flag suspect material rather than move it.

Is it cheaper than a dumpster rental?

For one-off loads, usually yes — no permit, no delivery fee, and no skip sitting on your street for a week. For long builds with continuous debris, a dumpster often wins.

What customers say

My mother had let things get out of hand and I was dreading the whole process. They came in an unmarked truck, never made a single comment, and asked before removing anything that was not obviously rubbish. Took four days and they never once rushed her.

Verified customer Los Angeles

I called about one old fridge and they told me my utility would collect it free and pay me for it. They talked themselves out of a job. When I needed a full garage cleared two months later I did not call anyone else.

Six-person spa behind a narrow side gate. Two other companies looked at it and passed. These guys drained it, cut it into sections and had the patio swept by 4pm. The price they quoted on arrival was the price I paid.
