"I am so glad I found OC Strong Junk Removal! I urgently needed to get rid of my couches and I was able to get a last minute quote from Jessie and Blanca (I’m sorry if I got the name wrong)! I was ultimately concerned with my location in a busy residential/commercial plaza and being on the second floor — but it was no biggie for them! They were both very accommodating, worked very fast, and even arrived earlier than the time we established. I will definitely be using them as my go-to pick-up/junk removal services and will recommend them to everyone! So if you’re looking for anyone - look no further!! This is the team you want to hire!"

"If you're looking for a junk removal service that is efficient, reliable, and affordable in 90004, look no further than JunkLuggers! I recently had the pleasure of using their services and I was thoroughly impressed with the entire experience. Their team was incredibly professional and courteous. They arrived on time and were equipped with all the necessary tools and equipment to get the job done quickly and efficiently. They were also very respectful of my property, taking care not to damage anything while removing my junk. What sets them apart from other companies was their commitment to sustainability. They made sure to recycle and donate as much of my junk as possible, rather than simply disposing of it in a landfill. As someone who cares about the environment, this was a huge plus for me. I highly recommend JunkLuggers. Their team is professional, efficient, and committed to sustainability, making them the perfect choice for anyone looking for a top-notch junk removal service."

Waste Removal Services FAQs, answered by experts

How you get rid of old, expired paint or a mostly empty can of paint depends on the type and the rules where you live. If you have an empty, dried-out can of latex paint, you can often dispose of it with your household trash. 

For cans that still have some paint in them or for oil-based paint, your best bet is to contact a junk removal service or your municipality to see what its requirements are for paint disposal.

Choosing a junk disposal method begins with considering what kind of junk you’re getting rid of. If it’s hazardous waste, you’ll be more limited in your options and will either need to haul it to a dedicated disposal facility yourself or find a junk removal company that works with hazardous materials. If it’s general waste and mostly consists of small items, renting a dumpster is a great way to save money if you and some friends can move the junk into the dumpster yourselves. To save time and energy, though, hiring a junk hauler is the best option.

There are several instances where household biohazard cleanup would be needed. All in all, anytime an event can potentially expose people to chemicals, pathogens, or viruses, a biohazard cleanup company must be called. These events can include:

  • Sewage backup

  • Unattended death or crime scene after death

  • Virus decontamination

  • Medical waste disposal 

  • Animal waste disposal 

  • Odor control   

  • Hazardous chemical removal

Most ceiling tiles and the support material that holds them in place can simply go in the garbage, a dumpster, or a landfill, as they're not considered hazardous materials. However, if your home's ceiling tile is older than 1990, it may contain asbestos, which can require testing and special disposal methods.

Generally, it is not necessary to remove old mulch before applying a new layer. As organic mulch breaks down, it enriches the soil with nutrients. However, you should remove the old layer if it shows signs of fungus or disease, which can be common in moist areas, or if the total depth is already too thick. Avoid letting the total mulch depth exceed 3 inches, as this can harm plant roots. If you do remove old, disease-free mulch, it can be added to a compost pile.
