Junk removal in Los Angeles
Los Angeles will haul a lot of your junk for you, as long as you give the city a day's notice. LA Sanitation picks up bulky items on your regular trash day, and you have to book at least one business day ahead: online, on the MyLA311 app, or by phone. The city calls it an unlimited curbside service, so a big pile is fine.
That list can run long. Mattresses, toilets, sinks, rolled carpet, old doors, TVs and computers all qualify. What stays behind: concrete, brick and dirt, auto parts and oil, paint and solvents, and fluorescent tubes. Paint and chemicals go to one of the city's S.A.F.E. Centers instead.
This is the service for homes with one to four units that LA Sanitation serves. Live in a bigger building? Then your bulky pickup runs through the building's recycLA hauler, not the city. When you do book with LA Sanitation, have a list ready, like one mattress, two chairs and a desk, so they send the right-size truck.
