Junk removal, the easy way.

You point, we haul. Our uniformed crew comes to your home or job site, carries everything out, and sweeps up after themselves.

The CalStar Way

We do the heavy lifting - literally.

No sorting, no lugging things to the curb, no waiting for bulk pickup day. Our two-person crews come right to where the junk is - inside the house, in the garage, up the stairs - load it themselves, and haul it away. You don't lift a finger.

  • Same-day appointments available in most LA service areas.
  • Up-front flat pricing - we quote before we start. No surprises when the truck leaves.
  • We recycle and donate what we can - furniture, clothing, and usable appliances stay out of the landfill.
  • Cleanup included - we sweep up and leave the space cleaner than we found it.

Common questions

Junk Removal FAQ.

How does pricing work?
We quote based on truck space used, not by the piece or the hour. Our crew walks the job with you before starting, gives you a flat price, and we stick to it.
How fast can you come out?
Next business-day is available in most LA service areas. We also offer scheduled morning and afternoon windows.
Do I have to sort or bag anything?
Nope. Our crew does all the loading from wherever the items are - inside the house, upstairs, in the garage or back yard. You don't have to lift a finger or move anything to the curb.
What happens to my stuff?
We sort at our facility. Anything in good condition goes to local charities and donation centers. Metal and electronics are recycled. The rest goes to a licensed disposal facility. We try to keep as much out of the landfill as possible.
Can you remove appliances that are still connected?
Yes - our crews are trained to safely disconnect washers, dryers, refrigerators, and stoves. Just let us know when you book so we can bring the right tools.
Do you do commercial cleanouts?
Absolutely. Office cleanouts, retail buildouts, storage unit cleanouts - same process, same up-front pricing. Call dispatch for a custom quote on larger jobs.
