We Actually Pay Attention
Most companies show up, load up, and leave. We take the time to look at what we're clearing and identify items that might be valuable or meaningful. Nothing important ends up in the trash by accident.
We Think Strategically
Every property is different. We assess what you need, create a plan, and bring in the right resources. No cookie-cutter approach, just efficient work tailored to your situation.
We Work With Integrity
We operate with a mindset of protecting your interests. That means setting aside valuables, being transparent about costs, and treating your property like it's our own.
We Care About Our Community
We're active members of local professional organizations and support charities that make a real difference. When you work with us, you're supporting a business that also gives back and cares about more than the bottom line.
Respect
Every property has a story. We treat your space and belongings with the dignity they deserve, no matter the situation.
Transparency
No hidden fees, no surprises. We tell you exactly what the job will cost and what to expect.
Reliability
When we say we'll be there, we're there. When we give you a timeline, we meet it.
Compassion
Whether you're dealing with a difficult hoarding situation or settling a loved one's estate, we approach every job with compassion, understanding, and zero judgment.
Quality
We don't cut corners. Our fully insured crew does the job right, protects what matters, and leaves your property ready for whatever comes next.
Attorneys, Fiduciaries & Trustees
When you're managing an estate, you need a clean-out company that understands the stakes. We protect valuables and work within your timeline.
Probate Realtors
Get properties ready for sale faster. We clear everything out, spot overlooked items of value, and usually finish ahead of schedule, so you can list sooner.
Professional Estate Managers
We handle even the toughest situations, including hoarding cases, with professionalism and discretion. You look good while we get the job done right.
Families
Whether you're downsizing, decluttering, or clearing out a loved one's home, we make a difficult process easier. We're patient, respectful, and ready to help.
Environmental responsibility matters to us. That's why we partner with The HodgePodge LA to donate usable items instead of sending everything to the landfill.
What That Means:
- Less waste in our landfills
- Furniture, appliances, and household goods in good condition get donated
- Items go to families who need them, specifically those going through organ transplants
- Supporting people in our community who are facing medical challenges
When something can be reused, we make sure it gets to someone who needs it.

Our Getting Started Story

When Xavier Figueroa started L.A. Trash Junkers in 2021, he had a simple goal: provide property clean-out services that are easy, stress-free, and non-judgmental.

After years of working in high-pressure technical environments, from aerospace testing to complex project management, Xavier saw an opportunity to bring that same level of precision and care to an industry that often rushes through jobs without thinking twice.

Too many companies treat property clean-outs like a race to the dumpster. Xavier knew there was a better way. A way that respects people's belongings, protects what matters, and gets the job done right the first time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. LA Trash Junkers is fully licensed and insured, protecting both our team and your property during the removal process.
Yes! LA Trash Junkers is veteran-owned and operated by Xavier and Maegan Figueroa. We bring military-grade discipline and efficiency to every job.
Not always. We offer contactless curbside pickup if the items are accessible (driveway, curb, etc.). We can provide a final quote upon arrival, take payment over the phone, and send you "before and after" photos once the job is complete.
No, as part of our mission, we strive to donate or recycle as much as possible. We partner with local charities to ensure usable clothes, furniture, and household goods find a second home rather than a dump.
We use a custom 18-cubic-yard dump truck. To give you an idea of scale, it holds about 9 pickup truck loads of debris, or roughly 18 washing machines.

We can give you a rough ballpark estimate based on your description or photos texted to (562) 262-9978. However, the final price is given on-site once we see the volume in person.
Our quotes are all-inclusive and cover up to 2 hours of labor, all transport, and standard disposal fees. There are no hidden fuel surcharges.
We price by volume (how much space your items take up in our truck). Our 18-cubic-yard dump truck has 8 different price points, ranging from a minimum load (1/8 truck) to a full truckload. A labor rate will be applied for large clean-outs.
- Furniture: Couches, mattresses, dressers, and bed frames.
- Appliances: Refrigerators, washers, dryers, and stoves.
- Yard Waste: Tree limbs, brush, and old fencing.
- Clean-outs: Full garage, attic, storage unit, or estate clean-outs.
- Specialty: Hot tubs, e-waste (TVs/computers), and construction debris.
Due to safety and environmental regulations, we cannot haul hazardous materials, including:
- Wet paint, chemicals, or solvents.
- Motor oil, gasoline, or propane tanks.
- Medical waste or pressurized canisters.
- Excessive dirt, concrete, or brick (unless pre-arranged with a specific "heavy load" quote)

What Customers
Are Saying

"Amazing job by Xavier and his team!"

“Cleaned out a whole house we are getting ready for sale. They are super polite and efficient and took care of everything. Excellent communication from Xavier during the entire process. They really care about doing a great job and it shows. We will definitely hire them again if we have more removal needs."
- Cheryl A.
"LA Trash Junkers are terrific!"

“They are flexible, honest, and very very good at what they do. Because of poor scheduling on my part, they adjusted the schedule on three different occasions. They also offer a cleaning service which was extremely handy to use. They totally emptied the apartment and then swept, vacuumed and wiped down all counters. And they did all of this at a very fair price. And one more thing, they are very nice people."
- Bruce J.
