"Jesus and Marcos came in, gave me the quote, which I accepted and immediately got to work! I had at least a 1/3 of my living room filled mostly with donation items abd some junk after a few weeks of reorganizing and downsizing. In about 1/2 an hour it was all cleared. They were fast, yet careful when I told them there were breakable items scattered through the various boxes. Very impressed with the service, which was the only one that I found that guaranteed to recycle everything they can!"

"I hired Handy Haulerz to remove a FULL garage of junk that I just could not tackle myself. Henry was very professional and not judgmental at all towards my pile. They left the area clean and I’m so happy to say that I’m able to use my garage for what it was intended to be used for. Thank you Handy Haulerz!"

Small jobs welcome

I own and operate a dumpster rental service that currently provides 17 Yard Dumpsters, and will soon provide 40 Yard Dumpsters and 10 Yard Dumpsters (lowboys) by the end of 2025. I also offer junk removal for property clean outs if you'd like us to handle the labor. Tree removal is another included service we offer.\n\nThis business was created in order to help a non-profit organization (Water Drop LA). A portion of all proceeds go towards helping the organization continue its operation.

FAQs for waste, junk, building materials and debris removal and hauling projects in Universal City, CA

Begin by disconnecting power to eliminate electrical hazards. Then, locate the drain valve and attach a garden hose to direct water away from structures. Be mindful of local regulations regarding chemical-treated water disposal, as some jurisdictions prohibit draining into storm sewers or natural water bodies. 

After the main drainage, use a shop vacuum or pump to remove residual water from footwells and plumbing lines. Complete drainage makes the unit lighter for removal and prevents water damage during the process.

Functional hot tubs in good condition can often be sold or donated rather than discarded. Local classified listings or online marketplaces provide platforms for finding interested buyers, though you should clearly indicate whether the buyer must handle removal. 

Some charitable organizations accept hot tub donations, particularly those serving veterans or community centers. For non-operational units, salvage yards might accept them for component recycling. Always disclose the unit's condition and any known issues to potential recipients.

The reclaimed area offers numerous possibilities for repurposing. Deck spaces can be restored with new decking materials or converted to seating areas. In-ground installation sites work well for garden beds, fire pits, or patio extensions. 

For concrete pad foundations, consider creating an outdoor kitchen, installing a pergola, or establishing a container garden. Local landscaping professionals can provide design ideas tailored to your specific space and preferences.

Professional electrical expertise is highly recommended when disconnecting hot tubs from power sources. Most units operate on dedicated 220-240-volt circuits that present significant safety hazards if improperly handled. 

Licensed local electricians ensure proper power termination, wire capping, and electrical panel updates. While some removal services include basic electrical disconnection, complex installations often require specialized knowledge to prevent safety issues and ensure code compliance.
