Post-Move Cleanups: Dealing with Unwanted Boxes and Leftover Furniture
By Fred Siegel, Fred’s Junk Removal · University City 92122
Post-Move Cleanups: Dealing with Unwanted Boxes and Leftover Furniture is a question San Diego households ask every week — especially in University City (92122) and along Genesee 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 UTC mall look different from a canyon lot in College Grove (92115) or a condo dock in Eastlake (91915). We run Genesee Avenue, College Grove Drive, and Olympic Parkway on ordinary weekdays. Landmarks we pass on those routes include UTC mall, College Grove Center, and Eastlake Village Center. 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.
Estate and downsizing jobs need patience more than speed. We work rooms you assign, keep paths open for family, and do not treat a parent’s house like a demolition. Photos get an honest quote. Full-service is the usual booking so nobody in the family has to lift a dresser down a 1920s stair.
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 University City, College Grove, 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 Genesee Avenue near UTC mall, you already know the drill: quote, window, sweep, gone.
