Move-out cleanouts across San Diego

When a lease ends or a sale closes, the property has to be empty, not almost empty. We clear apartments, houses, garages, attics, and storage units down to broom-ready, so your final walkthrough or deposit inspection is not held hostage by a futon and six bags of miscellaneous.

The most efficient version is combining hauling with your move: our crew loads what is coming with you, then clears what is not, in one visit. Estate cleanouts and downsizing projects get the same treatment, with patience for keep-or-toss decisions made in real time.

Donation runs and responsible disposal

We are movers first, so the default for usable furniture and household goods is a donation run to local San Diego charities, with a receipt when the center provides one. Metal, cardboard, and appliances are routed to recycling where possible, and the landfill is the last resort, not the plan.

Because our crews work inside occupied homes every day, hauling with us does not look like a demolition job. Floors get protected, walls stay unscuffed, and items leave your home the same careful way your furniture does on a move.

What we take, and what we cannot

Furniture, mattresses, and box springs
Appliances, from mini fridges to full laundry sets
E-waste such as TVs, monitors, and computers, disposed of under California rules
Exercise equipment, patio furniture, and grills
Boxes of household goods, garage clutter, and yard debris
Not accepted: hazardous waste, wet paint, chemicals, and propane tanks, which belong at a county household hazardous waste facility, and we will point you to the nearest one

Why hire a moving company for junk removal in San Diego

Since 2008 we have completed more than 25,120 moves, and hauling grew out of what customers kept asking for at the end of them. You get background-checked employees, never day labor, a BBB A+ rated company, and the same live-tracking text on service day that our moving customers get. Five dollars from every job still goes to the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund.

FAQ

Junk Hauling questions, answered.

Can you haul the same day I move?
Yes, and it is the most efficient way to do it. The crew loads your move, then clears the leftovers in the same visit, so you hand over keys to an empty property without scheduling a second company.
Do I get a receipt for donated items?
When the donation center issues one, we pass it along. Usable furniture and household goods go to local San Diego charities first, which is better for your taxes and better than a landfill.
Can you take old TVs and electronics?
Yes. TVs, monitors, computers, and other e-waste are handled under California disposal rules rather than tossed in a bin. Any disposal fees involved are itemized on your quote, not discovered later.
Do I need to be home for a junk pickup?
Not necessarily. If the items are accessible and we have agreed on exactly what goes, many customers leave a garage open or a key with a neighbor. Photos ahead of time keep everyone aligned.
What will my cleanout cost?
Price follows labor time and how much truck space the load fills, plus itemized disposal fees and fuel. Send photos to 619-600-5000 and we will give you a realistic estimate before anyone drives anywhere.
What items will you refuse?
Hazardous materials: chemicals, wet paint, propane tanks, and similar. San Diego County runs household hazardous waste facilities for exactly those items, and we will tell you where to take them.
Do you handle full garage, estate, or property cleanouts?
Yes. Beyond single-item and partial-load pickups, we do full garage, storage-unit, estate, and whole-property cleanouts, including the ones tied to a move-out, a sale, or settling an estate. We can clear a space to broom-clean condition on the same visit as your move so you hand the keys back on time.
What happens to the junk, do you recycle or donate any of it?
We sort as we haul. Usable furniture and goods are routed to donation where we can, recyclable material goes to recycling, and only what is truly waste goes to the landfill. If you want a donation receipt for tax purposes, ask and we will get you one for the items that qualify.

Gorilla movers did a fantastic job moving my mother in Oceanside. Raul was incredible. From the moment he arrived, he was very strategic in how he would complete the job. I had doubts with all of the stuff we had but trusted his knowledge and experience and he exceeded our expectations! They take care of your items, asked a lot of questions and consistently checked in on if there was anything else they could help with. Raul, not sure if we could have done this move without you!! Thank you so much and than you Gorilla movers!! -Jackie, Marty, and Liz

I recently moved from downtown San Diego to Rancho Bernardo with Gorilla Movers, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. The team arrived on time, came fully prepared, and handled everything with a high level of professionalism. Moving out of downtown can be tricky with traffic and building restrictions, but they managed everything smoothly without any issues. They were very careful with my furniture, wrapping and protecting everything properly, and nothing was damaged during the move. What I appreciated most was their efficiency. They worked quickly but never rushed or cut corners. Communication was clear the entire time, and the pricing was fair with no surprises. Overall, it was a stress free move, and I would definitely recommend Gorilla Movers to anyone looking for a reliable and professional team.

They showed up on time, were extremely professional, and handled everything with so much care and efficiency. Moving can be stressful, but they made the whole process feel smooth and easy. They worked quickly without ever being careless, and you could tell they really knew what they were doing. They took great care of our furniture and belongings, making sure everything was protected and moved safely. Christian was especially great at communicating and keeping everything organized, and his crew worked so well together—it was honestly impressive to watch. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was exactly where we wanted it. I highly recommend Gorilla Movers, especially Christian and his team. If you’re looking for reliable, hardworking, and professional movers, these are the people to call!

What took me at least 8 hours of painstaking work took them less than 2. Makes me wish I used them for the loading AND unloading. Raul and Hazael were so quick and nice and communicative throughout the entire process. Makes things easier on yourself by using them if you need to move at all. It’s well worth it.

I cannot stress enough the quality of their service, expertise, and responsiveness. Gorilla Movers made the task of relocating my call center operation within the San Diego area far easier than I anticipated. They exceeded my expectations throughout the entire process and will be the first company I call for any future moving needs.
