We don’t just dump it. Every Junk Gone load gets sorted. Usable items go to local donation centers, recyclables go to the right recyclers, and only what’s left goes to the landfill or transfer station.
Serving Gilroy, Morgan Hill, Hollister, San Jose, Watsonville, Santa Cruz, Salinas and nearby.
Furniture, housewares, clothing, and decor in good, usable shape go to local donation centers like Goodwill.
Metal, appliances, electronics, mattresses, cardboard, yard waste, and clean wood go to recyclers that can handle them.
Only what can’t be reused or recycled goes to a licensed landfill or transfer station.
Donation centers decide what they’ll accept, so stained, broken, or heavily worn items usually go to recycling or disposal instead. If you have something specific you want donated, tell us before the job.
Old couch, extra chairs, the treadmill in the spare room. Clear it out before family shows up. Usable furniture gets donated; the rest is recycled or disposed of.
Gift boxes, shipping cardboard and packaging pile up fast. Flatten what fits in your recycling cart. For a garage full of boxes, we haul the cardboard to recycling.
Décor in good shape can be donated. Broken decorations and dead light strings don’t belong in a donation bin, so we sort them for recycling or disposal.

California runs a statewide mattress recycling program. Mattresses we haul go to participating recyclers whenever possible, where the steel, foam, and fabric are separated and reused.
Appliances with refrigerant must have it safely removed before they’re scrapped. We take them to facilities that handle refrigerant recovery, and the metal gets recycled.
TVs, computers, monitors, and other electronics don’t belong in a landfill in California. We deliver them to e-waste recyclers.
Washers, dryers, stoves, water heaters, bed frames, and other metal go to scrap recycling.
Branches, brush, and clean wood are kept out of the trash and taken to green-waste and wood recycling.
Tires go to tire recycling, not the landfill.
Special items like mattresses, appliances, tires, and hot tubs may carry an added fee because they have to go to specialty recyclers. You’ll see it in your quote before we start.
We can’t haul household hazardous waste: paint, solvents, pesticides, pool chemicals, motor oil, fuel, propane tanks, car batteries, or asbestos. Each county runs its own household hazardous waste drop-off program for residents, and we’re happy to point you to the right one for Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Monterey, or San Benito County.
We sort every load. Usable items are donated, recyclables go to recyclers, and only the rest is disposed of. Text us if you’d like to know where a specific item went.
Donation receipts are issued by the charity, not by us. If a receipt matters to you, tell us before the job and we’ll talk through your options.
Most items are covered by your normal price, which is based on how much space your load takes up. Special items that need specialty recyclers, like mattresses, refrigerators, tires, and hot tubs, may have an added fee. You’ll see it before we start.
Yes. Refrigerators, freezers, and AC units go to facilities that safely remove the refrigerant before the metal is recycled.
We can’t haul them, but we’ll point you to your county’s free household hazardous waste drop-off.
