Los Angeles Metro Area Junk Removal and Hauling

Since our early days we have grown from a fleet of four 1-800-GOT-JUNK? trucks to a fleet of 10 1-800-GOT-JUNK? trucks thanks to a great business model, a lot of hard work and our fun, chipper, high energy blue wig wearing culture. Our team can often be seen around town on many major intersections like Highland and Franklin or LaBrea and Santa Monica, which are our favorites! Our clean and shiny trucks can be seen cruising around town or sleeping at their homes on Venice and LaBrea, Griffith Park and Hyperion, Sunset and Fountain, Highland and Melrose, Fairfax and Beverly or LaCienega and Wilshire, just to name a few.

Our truck teams take pride in providing our clients with top notch customer service and getting it done! Our services are tailored to give you or your business your space back. We are experts, professionals and leaders in our junk removal industry having served both residential and commercial clients like studios, production companies, real estate brokers, property managers, homes for the elderly and disabled, senior homes , bank and foreclosure properties, contractors and estate attorneys.

Our list of clients include many of our local celebrities and Hollywood stars and companies and related businesses in the film industry!

Whether you are relocating or just cleaning up your home or office we will remove as little as a single piece of furniture or appliance to as much as multiple truck loads from a full garage or office cleanout. Rest assured that all items removed at jobs are properly handled and disposed of as we are a certified E-waste collector by the State of California. We make every effort possible to divert waste from our landfills by donating to charity and recycling everything that we can, up to 70% of what we pick up is recycled or donated locally at our franchise. 1-800-GOT-JUNK? has been a dynamic hyper growth success for us and really has been a joy to start and grow locally. Removing peoples obstacles and giving them their space back is very gratifying and making a difference in our environment makes this business very rewarding.

Our local office is located on Sunset Blvd. East of LaBrea and West of Vine. From the 101 freeway you can exit Highland head South past Hollywood Blvd. and the Highlands. Turn left heading East onto Sunset Blvd. at the corner of Hollywood High school which will be on your right hand side. We are two blocks West of Amoeba Music and the Jack in the Box on Cahuenga towards the CNN towers.

I love this junk hauling company because we are carving out a niche many people don't even know exists. I was with Starbucks Coffee for six years during the earlier years and much of this company reminds me of that. More importantly, I love this 1-800-GOT-JUNK? brand because it has enabled me to build an incredibly talented and driven management team. One of my first Truck Team Members, Darren Tavitian, is now not only the General Manager for the Los Angeles Coast 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchise but a business partner with the purchase of our 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchise in San Diego. “Drew Boyles happened to be a very likable guy who practices what he preaches and would never have any of his employees do something he wouldn't do himself. A little after a year working for Drew and his 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchise, I was sent to Vancouver for training and while up there drank the 1-800-GOT-JUNK? Kool-Aid. During this time period, Drew was expanding his business by acquiring new territories such as Orange County and put me at the helm of his flagship franchise, Los Angeles Coast. What a ride! I blindly started this career assuming it would be temporary and instead have worked my way up the ladder to General Manager of a Top 20 revenue performing franchise and franchise partner myself.”

We absolutely live and breathe by the play hard work hard mantra. One of my favorite experiences with 1-800-GOT-JUNK? was when we determined that a job that was initially estimated by the client as a 60 minute job actually turned into a 21 truckload job that had to be completed the same day! We rallied the troops mustering 7 trucks to get it done for the client.

Another reason I love this junk hauling business is because it enables us to help our local communities. Examples of us supporting organizations include: El Segundo Education Foundation, El Segundo School District, Manhattan Beach Education Foundation, Muscular Dystrophy Association, Relay for Life, Tree Musketeers, El Segundo Richmond Street Fair, El Segundo Co-Op Nursery School, El Segundo School District. Finally, I am proud of how we help the environment. We are a California State approved electronic waste (e-waste) collector and in 2006 and 2007, we recycled over 114,000 pounds of computers, TVs, monitors and other electronics though our Los Angeles office alone! We also recycle and donate metal, paper and cardboard, used appliances and furniture.

We are located in a small light industrial warehouse in the center of El Segundo, just behind the newly constructed Grand Plaza. We are at 231 Arena St in the corner warehouse space which is adjacent to the alley parallel with and behind Grand Ave. The El Segundo public skate park and Teen Center, as well as the El Segundo Boy Scout House are across Grand avenue from us.

We also donate a considerable amount to charities such as Goodwill and Out of the Closet. We have donated our junk removal services to local non-profits such as the Tarzana Community and Cultural Center, The Pacific Lodge Boys Home and Woodland Hills Elementary School. Almost all paper and metal goes directly to the recyclers, and we are always trying to find new ways to increase our recycling. I love that I can own and operate a business like 1-800-GOT-JUNK? where we are not just helping people declutter their lives, but we're helping the environment through the process!

What I love best about my 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchise is that we help customers declutter their homes, hauling junk like mattresses, appliances (e.g. dishwashers, fridges) and electronics. We help out our environment in the process. It's also highly rewarding to have employees who work as hard as my junk removers do for the company and our customers. I grew up in the Valley and have always been surrounded by good people, but having a junk hauling service gives us the opportunity to meet lots of new people everyday. It never ceases to amaze me how kind people are and how much they love our junk removal service.

Our office is located at 19730 Ventura Blvd. between Corbin and Oakdake in Woodland Hills. Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, Pollo Loco, and the 99 Cent Store are located in the same retail center.

James Sr. has been a local accountant in the Arcadia area for 35 years, James Jr. has a background in retail management, and Joel has a background in sales. The family splits up the duties, but is always there to help out when things get busy. James Jr. is in charge of the office work, Joel is in charge of the truck operations, and James Sr., or Dad as we like to call him, is the accountant and advisor. Our family offers a professional service with a guarantee of excellence! We offer up-front rates, same-day junk removal service and truck drivers who are always on time with a smile on their face! We do our best to donate useable items like clothing and children's toys to places like Goodwill Thrift Store as well as others, and 85% of what we don't donate is recycled to help out the environment.

Our local office is located at 4145 Live Oak Ave. Arcadia, CA 91006. It is in the same location as Zimmerman and Associates Tax Accounting. Irwindale Speedway is right down the street.
