I needed an old mattress and a few other old items removed. I contacted California Junk Removal on a Sunday and they had everything gone the following Tuesday. Fast, great and professional service, I would definitely use them again and will refer them to anyone who needs items removed for a great price by a reputable company!

I highly recommend Lionel and his junk removal service! I had a garage full of junk that seemed to keep getting bigger and bigger, and Lionel was fantastic from start to finish. He was professional, on time, flexible, and incredibly easy to work with. Communication was excellent — he was very easy to get ahold of and always responsive. The biggest surprise was watching him somehow fit everything into that trailer! I honestly didn’t think he was going to get it all in, but he made it happen. If you need junk removed, I would absolutely recommend Lionel. Great service, great communication, and a great guy to work with. I’ll definitely use him again!
