What We Take — And What We Don't
One of the most common questions before a junk removal job is: can you take this? The answer is almost always yes. Tony and the crew at Junk It and Dump It Services haul just about everything — with a short list of things that genuinely can't go in any hauling truck by law, not by preference.
If you're not sure, just call or text (951) 293-0455 and ask. Straight answer, every time.

Tires — California law prohibits hauling in standard trucks

Medical or biohazardous waste
