Junk Removal For North San Diego

If you live in the North San Diego area you will most likely need to get rid of some large unwanted items at some point. Like right after Christmas!

Of course, if your junk items are small enough to fit into your home’s recycling bin, then you’re covered. But it’s the large stuff that can be challenging when trying to figure out the best way to dispose of it. 

The Challenge of DIY Junk Removal

The first issue most people have is that their vehicle isn’t large enough to put all the junk in.

And, even if you do have a truck to load it all into, taking it to the dump may not be all that simple. Across the state, landfills are rapidly filling up and disappearing, not to mention expensive to use. As of recently, San Diego County only had four active landfills available, along with eight transfer stations. 

And this is for a County with a population of over 3,000,000 people!

When your junk items are large and heavy, like old appliances, remodeling construction debris, or large furniture, just getting it out to the sidewalk or driveway can be strenuous and even a bit hazardous. 

Even if you have someone helping you move these large junk items, you will still need a suitable vehicle to haul it all off to dispose of it. Even if your junk items are accepted at a landfill or transfer station (and not everything is!) taking your junk to a landfill isn’t your only option nor is it even your best option.

The bottom line is that you may find that doing your own junk removal in the North San Diego area can be very challenging.

The good news is that you have other options!

Junk Removal Services for All of North San Diego

Smart homeowners and business owners realize that hiring someone else to do a job for them requires budgeting. And that includes hauling off household junk or even old office equipment. That’s because hauling unneeded or unwanted exercise equipment, old furniture, yard waste, and construction debris involves an expense.

But, too often, the thinking is that doing the hauling and disposal themselves will be the least expensive option.

However, it’s often far more cost-effective and efficient to outsource it to a local professional firm, like Junk King North San Diego. Whether you have to pay your own employees to do it or you do it yourself, that’s time taken away from other work. And, if you’re a homeowner, your time is valuable, as well.

Depending on where you live or work in the North San Diego region, there may be County restrictions regarding what you can haul or dispose of.

When you factor in the need for a suitable vehicle, fuel costs, dump fees, and any other items you need to have like tarps and tie-downs, the best approach is to outsource this work to a professional firm like Junk King North San Diego.

Ultimately, the benefits of using us for your business junk far outweighs any possible benefits of a “DIY” approach.

Proper Junk Removal is a Thing!

The majority of everything we throw into the garbage each day can actually be reused in some manner. Whether that’s reuse, repurposing, or simply recycling. This is true for most household and office waste that’s generated, and it’s especially true of what we tend to call “junk.”

Here are a few “trash facts” to consider:

  • Almost 75 percent of the garbage in America that goes into what is known as the “municipal waste stream,” or MWS, can be recycled. 
  • But the United States averages a recycling rate of only about 30 percent of it.
  • About 45 percent of what could be recycled is landfilled or incinerated.
  • According to the EPA, the U.S. generates close to 270 million tons of waste every year, or about four and half pounds per person each day.
  • Almost 75 percent of that could be recycled, but only 30 percent is, which means we add about 100,000,000 tons of recyclable trash into landfills.

The good news is that the waste that we usually refer to as “junk” can often be reused “as is” or with minor repairs. And if they can’t be reused or repurposed, most of the materials on practically all junk items are recyclable.  That simply means most junk items can be kept out of the landfills or incineration plants with just a little processing.

Unfortunately, most people just throw away what they no longer want or need in the trash.

With over a million residents living in the North San Diego area alone, it really is important to keep as much waste and junk out of our landfills as possible.

So, if simply “dumping” your junk isn’t a good option – for you or the environment – what can you do with it?

Not Just “Junk Removal” – Green and Eco-Friendly Junk Removal

Being green is an integral part of the Junk King corporate mission and, for Junk King North San Diego, that means that we are committed to keeping as much junk and debris out of our local landfills as possible.

When Junk King started back in 2005, we pioneered recycling-based junk removal and we’ve been going green ever since. We are proud to be the greenest junk removal service in North America.

How do we do it?

With every junk removal job, whether it’s a small residential junk pickup or a major commercial property cleanout, we sort through the various types of materials for metals, plastics, wood, glass, textiles, and even reusable items – all in our recycling warehouses.

And we do all this because Junk King’s environmentally friendly mission is to make sure as much of your junk as possible gets recycled or donated.

In fact, Junk King is the only national company to operate with the goal of recycling 60 percent or more of every job using local sorting facilities.

So, when you call on Junk King North San Diego for your junk removal needs, you can know that most of your junk items will be recycled or reused.

Mini Dumpster Rental Services in San Diego, California

How Junk King’s Dumpster Rental Services Contribute to a Greener Tomorrow

Known for its almost always perfect weather, miles of clean, sandy beaches and bountiful recreation, San Diego, California is recognized around the world as a premier vacation spot to travelers and as an oasis to its residents. “The birthplace of California”, as it is often called, San Diego was the first place in the great state to be settled by Europeans. From a small village to a booming tourist destination, San Diego’s growth first came in 1880 when several military stations set up shop and it then saw rapid, continuous growth after WWII.

Junk King San Diego Uses New Mini Dumpster to Help Make Way for a Cleaner and Greener Tomorrow

Dumpster RentalThis stunning city by the sea boasts a wealth of attractions, recreation and sights for residents and vacationers alike. The world-famous Balboa Park and San Diego Zoo, the USS Midway Museum, and La Jolla Cove are all stunning destinations and reminders of what makes San Diego such a desirable place to live, visit, and play.

The City of San Diego is also rich in culture and athletic entertainment. Home to nine art districts, there is so much to explore and learn. Sports is another major draw to San Diego as the city proudly houses the MLB team the San Diego Padres and was home to the San Diego Chargers from 1961 until 2017 when the team returned to its original home in Los Angeles.

Economy

San Diego lends way to diverse economy. According to Sandiegobusiness.org, its long-standing military roots and miles of waterfront property has led the city of San Diego to become home to the largest concentration of military in the world and homeport to more than 60 percent of the ships in the U.S. Pacific Fleet and more than one-third of the combat power of the U.S. Marine Corps.

San Diego is also a major player in technology and innovation. Ranked in the top 10 for both business and leisure destinations, San Diego’s convention and visitor industry is the third largest industry in San Diego, citing more than 34 million people visiting the city each year.

Green Living in San Diego

San Diego is widely known for its efforts in protecting our environment and for creating a cleaner future. In April of 2017, the city set a new record by becoming the number one ranked city in the nation for solar installation.

 According to a news release found on Sandiego.gov, “in recent years, the City’s Development Services Department has focused on easing the permitting process for solar projects. Streamlining measures include:

·      Moving solar permitting program functions to the City Operations Building to centralize review disciplines and increase customer convenience

·      Reducing turnaround time for permitting of single family residential roof mounted solar projects to 3-5 days, compared to the previous 10-day wait period

·      Increasing the hours for solar appointments and drop-off service

·      Dedicating additional staff to the solar permitting program

·      Creating a professional certification program to eliminate the plan review process, allowing staff to issue permits without a plan review

·      Encouraging electronic submittal and review to eliminate need to make trips to City offices

·      Allowing minor changes to plans to be approved in the field by an inspector”

“San Diego is setting the standard for other cities across the country when it comes to protecting our environment and creating a cleaner future,” Mayor Kevin Falconer said. “This new ranking is a testament to the many San Diego residents and businesses harnessing our natural resources as we march toward our goal of using 100 percent renewable energy throughout the city.”

Recycling and Waste Reduction in San Diego

In a city aimed at going green and creating long-lasting sustainability, the city government created its Zero Waste Plan which was approved and adopted unanimously by City Council on July 13, 2015. The Zero Waste Plan lays out strategies to divert 75 percent of all trash by 2020, 90 percent diversion by 2035 and an ultimate goal of zero waste by 2040, according to the city’s website.

The San Diego Union-Tribune credits the “Bottle Bill”, a 30-year-old statewide recycling incentive, has, for the better part of the last decade, led to more than 80 percent of beverage packaging has been recycled.

While recycling rates in San Diego seem to be dropping, the city is still doing fairly well in comparison to other cities across the country and government officials are still placing high priority on recycling, reuse and sustainability efforts.

San Diego Landfill Solutions

According to an article in the San Diego Union-Tribune, by 2040, elected officials want to divert 90 percent of everything that currently goes into landfills to recycling and composting facilities. The city most heavily relies on the Miramar Landfill which is said to be running out of space and its height has had to be increased, even though the city is essentially producing less garbage. Solutions and fixes range from those fighting for more landfill space and increasing landfill capacity to those pushing for a zero-waste community.

Lemon Grove, California

“I can’t say enough praise for Junk King San Diego. We hired Junk King after receiving several estimates to haul a staggering amount of junk from a hoarder’s house. Every junk removal company that quoted the job needed five days to get it done–not Junk King! In two days, they transformed a property with their fleet of trucks and their very hard working crew. Not only were they efficient, but their bid came in lower than all of their competition and thousands less than several. On top of that, Junk King left our property perfectly broom swept and as cleaned out as can be. Plus, they are super nice people! What a great company!”

Better Have a Permit for That San Diego Dumpster! Right?

In most US cities, it’s a requirement to obtain a permit to park a dumpster on the side of the road, and San Diego is no exception. More accurately, you need to pay for the right to obstruct pedestrian and drivers’ right of way, and the laws to prevent congestion and accidents vary from city to city. It’s crucial to be familiar with the rules and regulations surrounding a San Diego dumpster before having it placed at the roadside, but fortunately, the permit usually costs less than $100, and it isn’t actually required in many situations.

If you have enough space on your driveway for a dumpster, you can rent a mini dumpster from a junk removal company that operates in your area, and you don’t need to get a permit. You can keep a 12-yard dumpster on your driveway without a permit for as long as you need, and leading companies only charge for the amount of dumpster space you use. However, if you need to park a dumpster on the road for any reason, read this article, learn the requirements, and avoid getting a penalty.

Why Do I Need a San Diego Dumpster Permit?San Diego Dumpster

A dumpster permit allows you take up road space that’s reserved for pedestrians and vehicles. However, you need to follow strict rules set out by the City of San Diego to avoid causing too much of an obstruction, and failure to do so usually results in a fine. Fortunately for San Diego residents, the dumpster permit cost is more than fair, especially when compared to other major US cities.

Depending on why you need a dumpster, you might have to pay for a few more permits than just the right of way permit detailed above. You require a construction permit if building an extension or demolishing a structure, and the penalties for failing to comply with those laws are usually harsher than with the right of way permit.

It’s worth applying for your permit as far in advance as possible because you must have it before your dumpster arrives. Provided your street is long and wide enough, you shouldn’t have too much difficulty getting your permit on time, but it’s worth checking if you can actually place one on your street before bothering with the application.

Make Sure You Can Rent a Dumpster Legally

Most dumpster rental companies will be able to tell you whether you can place a dumpster on your street, but you may want to check for yourself to eliminate the risk of incurring a fine. Here are some of the most important rules you need to know:

  • You can’t place a dumpster next to a painted curb, such as passenger loading or disabled parking areas.

  • You can only occupy street space that’s directly in front of your premises. Your dumpster can’t take up any room in front of another residence or business.

  • You need to place compliant ‘No Parking’ signs around the area where you’ll put your dumpster 24 hours before it arrives.

  • You should put a barricade with a flashing light on either side of the dumpster when it arrives.

  • There must be a clear space of at least 10 feet between the dumpster and the next nearest obstruction and 25 feet between the next curb return or alley.

  • You also need to check your street is wide enough to accommodate a dumpster without causing congestion. The minimum width is 32 feet if cars can park on just one side and 36 feet if vehicles can park on either side.

Again, most companies that offer dumpster rental in San Diego will be able to tell you whether you can have a dumpster on the road, and the permit fee is $73. Make sure to get the permit before the dumpster arrives and check that it can be placed on the street legally to avoid receiving a fine.

You Don’t Need a Dumpster for Most DIY Jobs and Home Cleanouts

If you have a driveway that’s large enough to accommodate a mini dumpster, you don’t need to concern yourself with permits or understanding and following rules. If you’re spring cleaning the house from top to bottom, clearing out the garage, removing the debris from a residential revamp, or landscaping, a 12-yard dumpster likely has ample space to accommodate the resulting waste.

The best junk removal and dumpster rental companies provide dumpsters designed for a typical driveway, and they make minor adjustments to ensure they won’t cause any damage. However, it’s important to remember that you can’t fill the dumpster higher than its sides because the rental company can’t transport overfilled dumpsters legally.

If you’re replacing an entire roof’s worth of shingles or demolishing a structure such as a freestanding garage, you’ll probably need a dumpster with a capacity larger than 12 cubic yards, which likely also means having to buy a permit and place it on the street. Unfortunately, if you only need a mini dumpster but have nowhere on your property to place it, you’ll also need to pay the same permit price to park it in front of your home if it causes a public obstruction.

You might not necessarily need a San Diego dumpster if you’re trying to get rid of a relatively small amount of stuff. You could contact a junk removal company if you only have 12 cubic yards’ worth (or less) of waste, and that would mean you could avoid doing any of the hauling. Of course, dumpsters give you the flexibility to gradually dispose of waste over a few days, but a junk removal company can retrieve waste in the space of a few hours if you’ve no need to keep a dumpster for an extended period.

What to Look for in a Dumpster Rental Company

A city the size of San Diego offers plenty of choice regarding dumpster rental companies, but it’s best to find one that prioritizes the environment and safe disposal, guarantees to deliver and retrieve the dumpster on time, avoids damaging the roadside or driveway surface, and offers a fair price. Junk King is the nation’s number one junk removal and dumpster rental surface because it ticks all the boxes.

The professionals at Junk King can often deliver mini dumpsters the same day you place an order, and they’ll call you 15 minutes before setting off to check that everything is ok and you’re ready to receive the dumpster. Just as importantly, they’ll retrieve the dumpster three days later, so it doesn’t steal your driveway for any longer than necessary.

In addition to our excellent time keeping skills, we also guarantee a fair price. Unlike most companies, we only charge for the amount of dumpster space you use instead of charging a flat rate, and we take preventative measures to ensure our dumpsters don’t damage your driveway. Better still, we aim to recycle at least 60 percent of what we collect – a target we usually beat – and we achieve that by having on-site sorting facilities and dedicated employees.

San Diego dumpster rental, fortunately, only requires a permit if you need a receptacle that takes up street space primarily reserved for public use. If you need a mini dumpster placed on your driveway, you don’t have to worry about breaking the law or spending your hard-earned cash on a permit. Plus, as the nation’s number one waste retrieval service, we’ll make the process as easy as possible for you. Drop us a line today to see how easy dumpster rental in San Diego is.

If you have any questions about the Junk King MINI dumpster or how to fill a dumpster efficiently, feel free to contact us for help from our San Diego dumpster rental experts!

What Size Do You Need?Dumpster Rental

Being over-prepared can have its advantages. However, a dumpster rental that is significantly larger than you need will also cost a lot more. If you rent an extra large industrial container for a small home improvement project, you will pay the same price as if you filled the entire box.

Watch for Hidden Fees

Some other San Diego dumpster rental companies advertise low rates, but those prices do not include delivery, pick-up, and other necessary services. Junk King makes things easy to understand with simple pricing and terms written in plain language.

Choose a Good Location

Minimize the number of steps between your work area and the dumpster location and you can save yourself a ton of time and effort!

Break Things Down to Fit More Inside

Dumpster rental may cost a bit more if you have objects sitting above the top of the box. Break down boxes, furniture, or other junk if possible so you can get more in the container without unnecessary overflow.

How to Load a Dumpster

Here are some quick tips for filling your dumpster rental evenly and efficiently:

  • Get a dumpster with a side door. This way you can walk in and set down bulky items rather than tossing them in haphazardly.

  • In general, bulkier items go on bottom. However, anything that crushes easily can go on bottom.

  • It’s okay to be messy! Use a sledge hammer or other tools to break down junk.

  • Renovating? Leave room for scraps and trash. Pack the dumpster efficiently while loading it up with demolition debris. Home improvement and construction projects produce more trash in the form of leftover materials and other debris.

  • Load carefully so you don’t have to re-organize. Depending on the type of junk you’re getting rid of, you may not want to climb in the dumpster after it’s been loaded. Take your time and figure out how to fit things in tightly.

What Else Can You Throw Away?

When you get a dumpster rental for a cleaning or remodeling project, use the opportunity to get rid of an old appliance, a broken recliner, or other junk you have sitting around. Our San Diego dumpster service can recycle or dispose of everything except hazardous waste.

Don’t Overdo It

You also want to avoid overloading your dumpster with too much weight. Any dumpster rental service has a weight limit before you’ll be charged an overfill fee. Loading up heavy items like bricks or stone? Talk to the Junk King experts for help estimating the potential weight.

Safe for the Driveway

Another thing to watch for would be a dumpster that damages your lawn, sidewalk, or driveway. We made sure the MINI dumpster is driveway-friendly for residential use in Southern California. With a footprint of about 8 feet wide by 12 feet long, it fits easily in a standard driveway.

When Do You Need It?

You’ll want to have your dumpster on-site as soon as your project begins producing debris. Wait too long, and you’ll have a mess at your feet! On the other hand, you might save a few dollars on daily service fees by minimizing the length of your dumpster rental. Most of our customers use their MINI dumpster for a period of 3 to 7 days.

Small Clean-Up? Pay for the Space You Need
