Which San Diego junk hauler is cheapest?

For one item, Fred's Junk Removal at $69 curbside or $130 carried out, and 1-800-GOT-JUNK?'s $39 curbside Flex option. For a quarter truck or more, Johan's publishes the lowest full price list at $225 for a quarter truck with labor and disposal included.

Do San Diego haulers handle PCS military move-out cleanouts?

Yes. Several listed companies serve Camp Pendleton, MCRD and Naval Base Coronado and are used to clearance-inspection deadlines. Ask for an itemized receipt if you need one for reimbursement.

What's the cheapest way to dispose of a mattress in San Diego?

Free, if you can move it yourself. The City's Environmental Services Department accepts mattresses and box springs at no charge at the Miramar Landfill collection site, 5161 Convoy St, Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., as long as they are dry and not infested. Otherwise Fred's takes one for $69 curbside and JYR-style per-item pricing from other haulers runs $50 to $130.

Are HOA cleanouts handled the same way?

HOA-managed properties in San Diego often require a certificate of insurance naming the HOA as an additional insured. The licensed and insured haulers on this list can usually provide one; confirm before scheduling.
