Junk Removal in Los Angeles, CA

Business cleanouts in Los Angeles

Los Angeles commercial work starts at the waterfront: the Port of Los Angeles is the busiest container port in the Western Hemisphere, and its cargo feeds a dense ring of warehouses inland. Central industrial districts such as Vernon and Commerce, the City of Industry to the east and the San Fernando Valley to the north hold the bulk of the county's distribution and light-manufacturing space.

Parts of Los Angeles we work in most:

• Vernon
• Commerce
• City of Industry
• San Fernando Valley
• San Pedro and the Harbor area

Large-item pickup rules in Los Angeles

LA Sanitation (LASAN) bulky-item pickup is an unlimited curbside service at no extra charge for homes it serves, booked at least one business day before trash day through MyLA311 or 1-800-773-2489.

LASAN will not take commercial appliances or construction materials at the curb, and the city does not collect commercial waste, so business cleanouts go through a private hauler.

For metal appliances, LASAN asks residents to remove refrigerator and freezer doors before pickup.

That is why offices, shops and property managers usually hire private removal instead.

Recycling electronics in Los Angeles

LASAN's S.A.F.E. centers (Solvents, Automotive, Flammables, Electronics) take household hazardous waste and e-waste, and eligible businesses can book an appointment to drop off their own hazardous waste or e-waste.

Any unit that holds refrigerant needs it recovered under EPA Section 608, so those appliances travel separately from the rest of the load.

Disposal and drop-off options in Los Angeles

Black-bin trash collected by the city is consolidated at the Central Los Angeles Recycling and Transfer Station (CLARTS) before it moves to regional landfills such as Sunshine Canyon in Sylmar, which accepts non-hazardous residential and commercial waste.
