What Happens to Your Junk After We Pick It Up?
We don't just drive everything to the dump. CleanOut247 sorts every load to keep as much as possible out of the landfill — it's better for San Diego and often required by law.
1. Donate what's usable
Furniture, working appliances, household goods and building materials in good shape go to local charities and reuse centers so they get a second life.
2. Recycle what can be recycled
Metal, cardboard, wood, and construction material are separated and taken to recycling facilities rather than the landfill.
3. Handle e-waste & appliances correctly
Electronics are dropped at certified e-waste recyclers (they're banned from the landfill in California), and refrigerant from fridges and AC units is professionally recovered.
4. Dispose of the rest responsibly
Only what truly can't be reused or recycled goes to a permitted facility like the Miramar Landfill — never dumped illegally.

(619) 999-3565Frequently asked questions
Do you recycle or donate the junk you pick up?
Yes. We sort every load to donate usable furniture, appliances and goods to local charities, recycle metal, wood, cardboard and e-waste, and only send true waste to a permitted facility.
What happens to electronics and old appliances?
Electronics go to certified e-waste recyclers since they're banned from the landfill in California, and refrigerant in fridges and AC units is professionally recovered before recycling the metal.
Do you ever dump junk illegally?
Never. Everything goes to donation, recycling, or a permitted disposal facility. Illegal dumping is against the law and against everything we stand for.
