Donation Pickup in San Diego

We collect usable furniture and goods, deliver them to a local charity and send you the itemised donation receipt.

The Junkiez provides same-day donation pickup in San Diego. 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 San Diego

San Diego’s older neighbourhoods — North Park, Normal Heights, Golden Hill, Mission Hills — are full of 1910s to 1940s Craftsman and Spanish bungalows with detached garages down long shared driveways and, unusually for Southern California, basements. Those produce genuinely deep estate clear-outs. The beach communities are a different market entirely, dominated by rental turnover and garages full of surf and dive gear.

Canyon-adjacent properties across the city — and San Diego has a lot of them — often mean a long carry from house to street. Beach neighbourhood parking in Ocean Beach and Pacific Beach is difficult in summer, so weekday mornings are much faster. Miramar Landfill and the city’s greenery and recycling centre serve most of the city, with green waste kept as a separate composting load.

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.

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.

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.

Anh L. Irvine

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.
