Owner Joe Sandoval says the company will completely rid units of all junk. Residents are only charged for the space their clutter takes up in Junkleggers’ trucks. The minimum is $150, and a full truck is $850.
This is a good option because the junk doesn’t sit in a landfill. Junkluggers donates, repurposes and recycles unwanted items. It has a strong partnership with Patriots & Paws, which receives the vast majority of donations. To find out more call (800) 584-5865 or visit junkluggersofoc.com.
