Construction Debris Removal in Santa Monica
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 Santa Monica. 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 Santa Monica
Santa Monica runs on rent-controlled apartment stock built between the 1920s and the 1970s, and that shapes almost every job here. Units turn over, tenants leave furniture behind, and buildings have narrow stairwells, no service elevator, and alley access that is frequently blocked by the neighbouring building’s bins. Owners and property managers are our most common callers.
Santa Monica runs its own Resource Recovery and Recycling operation rather than contracting out, and street parking enforcement here is genuinely strict — we plan for permit zones and metered loading rather than gambling on a citation. For Ocean Park and the streets south of Pico, alley access is usually faster than the street frontage, and we will ask which you have.

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.
