HOW CURBSIDE WORKS

Three steps. Then it's gone.

Staging checklist
  1. 01

    Stage it where we can drive up

    Driveway, residential garage, carport, or alley. We need about 10 feet of width and height for the dump truck. You do not have to be home.

  2. 02

    Text a photo or price it here

    Send pictures to (619) 245-9957, or build a load on this site. Fred replies with a clear price. The price you accept is the amount you pay.

  3. 03

    We load, sweep, and go

    Same-day is often available Monday through Saturday. We text when we are on the way, load the staged pile, sweep the path, and take it to recycle, donate, or the transfer station.

WHY CURBSIDE

Same truck. Less labor. Lower price.

Full-service means we carry items from inside, upstairs, or the backyard. Curbside means you stage them at a drive-up spot and we skip that labor. A queen mattress is $69 at the curb versus $130 from a bedroom.

  • No one has to be home
  • No travel surcharge, no extra-man fee
  • Quote from photos is the amount you pay
  • Donate and recycle before landfill

We invented curbside junk removal.

Fred started it in San Diego in 2005 — the first curbside junk removal service in the USA. Same idea 21 years later: you stage it, we haul it.

THE CREW

A local operation. Not a franchise call center.

Curbside Junk Removal is a service of Fred's Junk Removal — owned by Fred Siegel, a US Navy veteran who went to bootcamp at RTC San Diego. In 2005 Fred invented curbside junk removal: the first service in the USA built around driveway staging. The same dump truck and crew have hauled more than 50,000 loads since. Fred answers the phone.

  • Veteran owned and family operated
  • Quoted price guarantee on photo jobs

THE TRADE

We save time. You save money.

You skip waiting around for a crew to carry furniture through the house. We skip that labor. The posted curbside rate is the result.

QUESTIONS

Straight answers.

All FAQs
Do I need to be home?+

No. Curbside means the items sit at a drive-up spot — driveway, residential garage, carport, or alley. We load the truck. We text when we are on the way.

How much does curbside junk removal cost?+

Posted rates start at $69 for one item or a small load under 200 lbs. Two items are $119. Three items are $179. A packed dump bed is $599. Labor, haul, and disposal are included. The quote you accept from photos is the amount you pay.

How is this cheaper than full-service?+

You do the carrying to a drive-up spot, so we skip inside labor, stairs, and hallways. A queen mattress is $69 curbside versus $130 if we carry it out of a bedroom — about 46% less. Most curbside jobs save 30% or more.

How fast can you come?+

Same-day is often available across central San Diego, Monday through Saturday, 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Text a photo for a quote and a window. After-hours texts are answered the next business morning.
