Junk Removal San Jose
San José already hauls up to 12 items from your curb for free, and for a couch that’s already outside, that program is hard to beat. JunkRabbit is for the jobs it doesn’t cover: a garage packed to the rafters, a whole apartment before a relocation deadline, a sectional still upstairs, or a pickup today instead of on your next garbage day. Photograph it and get one flat price — a sofa is $126, a refrigerator $164.
Our area runs from Gilroy to San Mateo and from Santa Cruz to the Tri-Valley, with all of Santa Clara County in between.
Customer Reviews
San Jose is a brand-new JunkRabbit market with no local reviews yet — the cards below are verified Google reviews left by Miami customers.
“Louis was so wonderful! Communicated ahead of time to let me know when he would be arriving, expertly disassembled a couch to remove it from the apartment and left the space immaculate afterwards!”
“Had a plan AND morning confirmation with [another junk remover] and they canceled last minute, an hour before. I was in a bind, and I called & texted the folks at JunkRabbit. They were fast, courteous and available on short notice.”
“Communication was excellent, the haulers were so fast and efficient and work so hard. Very grateful for the help today!!”
Every item in the catalog carries its own San Jose price, and that price already includes the carry from wherever the item sits, the loading and the drive to a recycler or transfer station.

Once a job fills a garage bay, pricing by volume makes more sense. The truck holds sixteen cubic yards: $241 buys a quarter of it, $431 half, and $732 the entire bed. Your quote runs the numbers both ways — per item and per load — and charges whichever is lower.
Open the garage door and take one wide photo — the flat price comes back while you’re still standing in the driveway.
Get My San Jose QuoteA single recliner or a two-car garage’s worth — every piece is identified and priced from the San Jose list.
Fix anything the photo missed, then pick a time that suits you instead of waiting for your collection day.
An insured local crew does the carrying, then splits the load between donation, recyclers and the transfer station.
Each service page has South Bay prices, local rules and the questions people ask most:
Transfers, new jobs, layoffs and return-to-office shifts keep furniture moving all year here. Relocation cleanouts are the signature job in this market, and they rarely involve just one room.
North San José, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale and Mountain View are full of mid-rise rentals with move-out inspections and reserved elevators. We work to your lease date.
Ranch houses from the 1950s through the ’70s were built with slabs, not basements, so the garage became the storage room and the car moved to the driveway.
Turning a garage or backyard shed into a rentable unit starts with emptying it. We clear it before the contractor arrives.
California doesn’t allow TVs, monitors and most electronics in household trash, so a home-office purge needs a recycler, not a garbage cart.
Several cities in our area run their own bulky-item programs, and the biggest one is genuinely generous. Here’s an honest look before you book anyone.
The City’s Junk Pickup is free for single-family homes and apartment complexes, owners and renters alike, and takes up to 12 items per request. Book through 311 and expect confirmation within two business days.
Items go out on your regular collection day, placed by the curb no more than 24 hours ahead — not in red zones, beside hydrants or next to parked cars. The crew doesn’t come inside.
Mountain View residents get two free cleanups each calendar year, by appointment: a stack of bags and boxes up to four by four by eight feet, plus up to three bulky pieces.
The City of Santa Clara runs an annual cleanup campaign — in 2026, April 27 through May 22. Contractors and businesses can’t use it, and some developments don’t take part.
Other cities in the footprint have their own bulky programs, and we don’t repeat rules we haven’t confirmed — check with your city. The short version: a handful of items that are already at the curb and can wait for garbage day belong with the City. A full garage, anything that has to come out of the house, more than 12 items, or a deadline this week is where we fit.
High rents mean small units and full garages, and nobody here pays to store things they don’t use. These are the jobs that fill the calendar.
Furniture in good condition goes to donation. Refrigerators and freezers go to certified refrigerant recovery. TVs and computers go to electronics recyclers. Remodel debris goes to a C&D recycler.
The sorting is included.
Santa Cruz County and the San Mateo coast are in our area too, but Highway 17 and the coast roads are slow. Same-day there depends on the route, and we’ll say so on the quote.
The City’s program stops at the curb. Our crews carry from the bedroom, the side yard, the backyard shed or the third floor.
Bring the whole garage. Big jobs are priced by the truckload, and we’ll send more trucks if it takes more.
Pick a window that fits your move-out or closing instead of lining up with your collection schedule.
You see the flat number before anyone drives over — nobody names a price on your doorstep.
Vetted, insured haulers, with a certificate of insurance for buildings and HOAs that require one.
Gilroy, Palo Alto, Fremont and Santa Cruz all use the same price list.
All of Santa Clara County plus everything within about 30 miles of San José City Hall. Every page below is written about its own corner of the Bay Area.
Also serving Alviso, Coyote Valley, Mount Hamilton, Sunol, Portola Valley, La Honda, Pescadero, Soquel, Aptos, Watsonville and the towns between.
It depends on what’s in the photo. For reference, San José customers pay $126 per sofa, $103 per queen mattress, $164 per fridge and $68 per mid-size TV. Bigger jobs run from $241 for a quarter truck up to $732 for a full one, and the minimum is $100.
For a few pieces already at the curb that can wait for garbage day, use the City. People book us when there are more than 12 items, when things are still inside or upstairs, when a lease or closing date won’t wait, or when their building or HOA doesn’t allow curb piles.
Yes. Garages usually price by the truckload, starting at $241 for a quarter of the truck, and the crew loads straight from the garage.
Yes. California keeps most electronics out of household trash, so we take them to electronics recyclers.
Yes, Santa Cruz County is part of our area at the same prices. Same-day timing there depends on the route over Highway 17.
Fremont, Newark, Union City, Hayward, Castro Valley, San Leandro, Pleasanton, Dublin, Livermore and San Ramon in the East Bay; Palo Alto up through Menlo Park, Redwood City, San Carlos, Belmont, Foster City and San Mateo on the Peninsula.
Send one photo and see the flat price in seconds — from $100, Gilroy to San Mateo, Santa Cruz to Livermore.
No 12-item limit, no waiting for garbage day, nothing to drag to the curb.
