The Junkiez provides same-day construction debris removal in 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 Los Angeles

Los Angeles is not one hauling market, it is about forty of them. A job in Highland Park means a 1910s Craftsman with a detached garage down a shared driveway; the same job in Koreatown means a fourth-floor unit in a 1960s courtyard building with one small elevator and permit parking on every side. We have crews who know the difference before they arrive, which is mostly what determines whether a pickup takes forty minutes or three hours.

The City of Los Angeles offers residents free bulky-item collection through LA Sanitation — genuinely worth using if your timeline is flexible, and we will tell you so. What it does not solve is a same-week move-out, an item that has to come down from a third floor, or anything the city classifies as excluded. Our loads go to certified transfer and materials recovery facilities, and for construction debris we deliver to the certified processors the city requires for permit sign-off.

### What we take

- Drywall, plaster and lath

- Lumber, framing offcuts and plywood

- Tile, porcelain, stone and grout

- 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.

### Getting a price in Los Angeles

We quote free on site, before anything is loaded, and the number does not change afterwards. Our rates are the same everywhere we work — there is no Los Angeles surcharge, and stairs, long carries and disassembly are all included.

We cover all of Los Angeles, including Downtown, Silver Lake, Echo Park, Los Feliz, Highland Park and Koreatown.

## 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.
