Area served: La Jolla, San Diego County, California Neighbourhoods: the Village, Bird Rock, La Jolla Shores, Mount Soledad, Muirlands ZIP codes: 92037 Contact: 323-547-5879 — info@thejunkiez.com Last updated: 2026-08-28 The Junkiez provides same-day donation pickup in La Jolla. We collect usable furniture and goods, deliver them to a local charity and send you the itemised donation receipt. Most charities will happily take your sofa — as long as you can get it to them, it is in good condition, and their truck happens to be in your area in the next three weeks. That gap is why perfectly good furniture ends up in landfill. We collect it on your schedule, deliver it to a partner charity, and send you the receipt. ### Donation Pickup in La Jolla La Jolla is hillside and cliffside housing where the access matters more than the volume. Homes on Mount Soledad have steep switchback driveways, cliff-side properties may be reached by a long stairway from the street, and the Village has narrow streets with heavy parking pressure. Estate clear-outs are a large share of the work here. We assess the approach before dispatch on Mount Soledad and Muirlands addresses — some driveways genuinely will not take a loaded box truck and we stage at the street instead. Village parking is difficult year-round; early mornings are considerably faster. UCSD nearby drives a student turnover cycle in June and September. ### What we take - Furniture in good, clean, structurally sound condition - Working appliances - Working electronics and computers - Clothing, shoes and accessories - Books, toys and games - Kitchenware, small appliances and housewares - Office furniture and equipment - Building materials in reusable condition ### What can and cannot be donated Charities have to be selective, and their limits are set by health law and by what they can actually resell. Torn or heavily stained upholstery, anything with pest exposure, cribs and car seats that fail current safety standards, and recalled products all get declined. We know each partner’s current acceptance list, so we sort at pickup and route donatable goods one way and disposal the other — you get one visit either way. ### Getting a price in La Jolla 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 La Jolla surcharge, and stairs, long carries and disassembly are all included. We cover all of La Jolla, including the Village, Bird Rock, La Jolla Shores, Mount Soledad and Muirlands. ## Frequently asked questions **Do I get a tax receipt?** Yes — an itemised receipt from the receiving charity, emailed after delivery. **What condition does furniture need to be in?** Clean, structurally sound and free of pest exposure. Torn or stained upholstery cannot be donated under health rules. **Can I choose the charity?** Yes, if they accept the category. Otherwise we use our partner network. **Is donation pickup cheaper?** Loads that are mostly donatable often qualify for a reduced rate, since disposal fees are lower.
