What to Do With Old Paint Cans, Chemicals, and Solvents
By Fred Siegel, Fred’s Junk Removal · Mission Hills 92103
What to Do With Old Paint Cans, Chemicals, and Solvents is a question San Diego households ask every week — especially in Mission Hills (92103) and along Goldfinch Street. 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 Presidio Park look different from a canyon lot in Bonita (91902) or a condo dock in Kearny Mesa (92111). We run Goldfinch Street, Bonita Road, and Convoy Street on ordinary weekdays. Landmarks we pass on those routes include Presidio Park, Rohr Park, 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.
Paint, fuel, solvents, batteries, and chemicals stay off the truck. San Diego’s household hazardous-waste drop-off is the legal path for those. We will tell you that on the quote instead of showing up and failing. Refrigerators must be empty. We disconnect only what is already unhooked — you handle water and power.
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 Mission Hills, Bonita, 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 Goldfinch Street near Presidio Park, you already know the drill: quote, window, sweep, gone.
