The Junkiez provides same-day garage cleanout in Santa Monica. Full garage clear-outs — we sort, carry and haul everything, and you get the floor back the same day.

The garage is where a decade of deferred decisions ends up. Most of the ones we clear have not fit a car in years. A typical two-car garage cleanout is a half to a full truck and takes a crew of two about ninety minutes to three hours, including the sorting. You point at what stays; everything else is gone before we leave.

### Garage Cleanouts 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.

### What we take

- Boxes, bins and years of accumulated storage

- Old furniture, mattresses and appliances

- Bicycles, sports gear and exercise equipment

- Tools, workbenches and shelving units

- Tyres, car parts and automotive junk

- Paint cans, garden chemicals and solvents (see below)

- Scrap wood, metal and leftover building materials

- Holiday decorations and general clutter

### What we cannot legally put in the truck

Paint, motor oil, solvents, pesticides, pool chemicals, propane tanks and car batteries are household hazardous waste. No junk removal company can legally haul them in a standard truck, and any that offers to is either lying or dumping them somewhere they should not. LA, Orange and San Diego counties all run free HHW drop-off centres — we will set those items aside, tell you the nearest one, and take everything else.

### Getting a price in Santa Monica

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 Santa Monica surcharge, and stairs, long carries and disassembly are all included.

We cover all of Santa Monica, including Ocean Park, Sunset Park, Wilshire-Montana, Mid-City, North of Montana and Pico District.

## Frequently asked questions

**How long does a garage cleanout take?**  
Ninety minutes to three hours for a typical two-car garage with a crew of two.

**Do I need to sort everything beforehand?**  
No. Point at what stays and we handle the rest. Many people sort alongside us as we work.

**Can you take paint and motor oil?**  
No — those are household hazardous waste and cannot legally go in our truck. We set them aside and point you to the nearest free county drop-off.
