Offering waste hauling and commercial junk removal services in San Diego, as well as the areas of Alpine, Bonita, La Jolla and Lakeside in California, we help you keep your space clean. Rent A Dumpster – Fill it with Trash/Junk & We Will Pick It Up!
Rock, Concrete & Asphalt
These materials can be ground up and used as aggregate in concrete or as road base. We can legally haul up to 10 tons. These loads may not include trash, vegetation (including roots), plastic liner, wood, etc. The unwanted materials may result in a clean-up fee that may be more than the original agreed upon price; these materials may also result in the load being treated as a trash load which may double the recycle price.
Green Loads
Tree trimmings and yard waste are ground up and used as mulch.
Unacceptable items include:
- Trash,
- Root balls,
- Succulents (examples include ice plant, jade & cactus),
- Fibrous trees and plants because they don’t grind up well (examples include palm trees, coral tree, palm fronds & yucca)
- Trunks greater than 4 feet in length,
- Processed wood,
- Dirt
Wood Loads
Lumber may be recycled. Incidental nails and bolts are acceptable. Restrictions include:
- No paint, varnish, stain or other treatment of the lumber.
- No composite lumber such as plywood or fiberboard. The glue used in these products make them non-recyclable.
- No metal hardware such as hinges, elbows, bracket, etc.
Metal Loads
Metals can be recycled as long as they are free of trash. We charge a haul rate and refund or credit your account for the proceeds of the metal sale (supported by a copy of the recycler’s receipt). Mixed metals usually receive a lower price per ton than separated metals.
Sod Loads
Sod is the top layer of grass, roots and incidental dirt. Sod may be recycle if there is no trash.

Since about 1975, I’ve been repairing and restoring vintage hifi and stereo gear-both tube and solid state-,commercial and musical instrument amplifiers, juke amps, and even antique radios. Another specialty is high end,three motor reel-to-reel machines, (such as Ampex, Revox,Crown, Berlant/Concertone,etc.). Thousands of original service manuals and Sams Photofacts in stock.
I’ve done thousands of units for thousands of customers. I can work on ANY brand of gear, even gear made by companies that are long out of business. I’m NOT a dealer,I dont sell anything nor am I looking to buy your equipment. I just want to repair it quickly and at a price we can both live with.
