What we take
Junk loads face the same California and County disposal rules as dumpster loads. The full list lives on what can go in.
These can need special handling, so tell us before the job.
California bans these from the trash, and the County transfer stations turn them away:
Where they go instead: County Fire household hazardous waste sites. In Big Bear Lake, 42040 Garstin Drive, Saturdays 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. On the Rim, call 1-800-OILY-CAT (1-800-645-9228) for the nearest site and collection events. Limit 15 gallons or 125 lb per trip. Check before you go.
How it works
Text photos of what is going and your town to (909) 284-4597, call, or send a request online. Mention stairs, long carries and anything on the ask-first list.
Compare
Both clear the junk out. The difference is who does the loading and how long you need.

On the mountain
Mountain junk jobs come with mountain details. Here is what helps us quote yours right.
Our trailer rides behind a pickup. The County’s Lake Arrowhead plan notes many local roads are narrow with poor visibility, so send a photo of the street and the driveway, plus any low limbs, sharp turns or steep grades.
Storms can move a job day. Under any chain control, vehicles towing trailers must chain a drive axle. In Big Bear Lake, vehicles can’t be left unattended on City streets from Oct 15 to Apr 15, so tell us where the trailer can pull off the road.
Live down the hill? Text photos of each room or pile and tell us how access works. We work out the job and the timing with you by phone before anything is scheduled.
County defensible-space inspections start in June in many mountain towns. Cut limbs to 4 feet or less if you can, and keep green waste apart from trash: it is recyclable.

Disposal
San Bernardino County runs two transfer stations on the mountain: Heaps Peak, on Highway 18 west of Running Springs, and the Big Bear Transfer Station on Holcomb Valley Road. Both are generally open Monday through Saturday. Check the County’s site for current hours and fees.
The County stations refuse hazardous waste, liquids, sealed containers, hot ashes and items over 4 feet long. That is why the ask-first list exists, and why a quick photo before the job saves everyone a second trip.
Questions
Yes. That is the job: we load it onto our trailer and haul it away. Where the items sit matters, so when you ask for a quote, tell us about stairs, long carries, tight hallways or crawlspaces, and we will tell you what we can do.
Junk removal is quoted per job, so there is no posted price. Text a photo of the pile and your town to (909) 284-4597, call, or send a request online, and we will quote it. Robert confirms the price and the day with you by call or text.
Household junk and clutter, old furniture, cabin, garage and shed cleanouts, yard debris like brush, limbs and raked needles, and remodel or demolition debris.
Ask first about fridges, freezers and AC units, other appliances, mattresses, tires, pressure-treated wood, debris from buildings built before 1984 or damaged by fire, and big or heavy loads like hot tubs, pianos, safes, logs, stumps, dirt, rock or concrete.
Household hazardous waste: paint, motor oil and filters, solvents, pesticides, pool chemicals, antifreeze, propane and other gas cylinders, batteries, fluorescent bulbs, TVs and electronics, and anything still hot, like ashes or coals. California bans these from the trash, and the County transfer stations turn them away.
Residents can drop household hazardous waste at San Bernardino County Fire collection sites. In Big Bear Lake that is 42040 Garstin Drive, Saturdays 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Rim residents can call 1-800-OILY-CAT (1-800-645-9228) for the nearest site and upcoming collection events.
Pick junk removal if you want it gone in one visit and do not want to do the loading. Pick a dumpster if you will fill it over a weekend or through a project: it is $250 flat per rental, 24 hours included, $15 each extra day, and disposal is billed by weight after dumping.
Not sure it fits your job? Text Robert a photo.
Send a photo and we will quote it. Brush, limbs and raked needles are yard debris. If you are cutting limbs yourself, keep them to 4 feet or shorter: that is the County transfer stations’ length limit. Big logs, stumps and rounds: ask first.
Text photos of each room or pile and tell us how access works at the cabin. We will talk through the job and the timing with you by phone before anything is scheduled.
Storms can move a job day: whenever Caltrans posts chain controls, every vehicle towing a trailer has to chain up. Keep a shoveled path from the junk to where the trailer can park, and in Big Bear Lake, remember that City rules bar leaving vehicles unattended on City streets from October 15 to April 15.
No. Junk removal is quoted per job, and Robert confirms the price, the day and how to pay with you by call or text.
