Confessions of a Junk Hauler: Weirdest Things We've Picked Up

Confessions of a Junk Hauler: Weirdest Things We've Picked Up is a question San Diego households ask every week — especially in Pacific Beach (92109) and along Garnet Avenue. Fred Siegel started Fred’s Junk Removal as a locally owned, veteran-owned crew. Twenty-one years and more than 50,000 jobs later, we still quote before we lift. This guide is written from the truck, not from a national call center.

Jobs near Crystal Pier look different from a canyon lot in National City (91950) or a condo dock in Kearny Mesa (92111). We run Garnet Avenue, Highland Avenue, and Convoy Street on ordinary weekdays. Landmarks we pass on those routes include Crystal Pier, Mile of Cars, and Kearny Mesa recreation area. If your pile sits on a driveway, in a residential garage, or in an alley, curbside is usually the better value. If the item is inside, upstairs, or in the backyard, book full-service and we carry it.

Start with one room or one driveway pile. Photograph it. Text the photo or tap through Junk Removal Cost Calculator. Book a window. Stage what you can at the curb. We load the dump truck. You get the square footage back the same day more often than not.

Before you guess at a dumpster, open the price list for single items and the Junk Removal Cost Calculator for mixed piles. Tiers run from a small load under 200 lbs at $69 curbside up through a full dump bed. The same calculator is the junk removal cost calculator app on this site — tap categories, add pieces, and get a tier with Book now.

See services for furniture, mattresses, appliances, e-waste, fitness equipment, garage cleanouts, yard waste, and light remodel debris. What we haul lists couches, grills, lawn mowers, bags of household junk, and custom-quote items like hot tubs and pianos. We do not take hazardous paint, fuel, or chemicals. Text (619) 245-9957 a photo from Pacific Beach, National City, or anywhere in San Diego County and we will tell you if it rides.

Fred’s remains San Diego’s most reviewed junk hauling service because the total is posted before the truck moves. No purple mystery fees. No day-of add-ons for stairs you already photographed. If the load is bigger than tier 10, text Fred. If it is a sofa on Garnet Avenue near Crystal Pier, you already know the drill: quote, window, sweep, gone.
