Junk removal and hauling in Camarillo, CA

Camarillo homes, by the numbers

Camarillo has about 26,300 lived-in homes and about 70,000 people (Census Reporter, Camarillo). About 41 percent of the homes were built in the 1960s and 70s, and about 65 percent are owned by the people who live in them, more than in Ventura or Oxnard.

Homes that have had the same owners for decades fill up. Estate cleanouts, downsizing before a move, and garages that haven’t held a car in years are a big part of junk removal here, along with remodel debris as older kitchens and baths get redone.

Brush clearance in Camarillo

Camarillo is inside Ventura County Fire’s territory, so properties in the program get the county’s notice.

The program covers parcels with natural vegetation within 100 feet of a structure, which in Camarillo means the homes along the hills and open space (FHRP FAQ).

Bulky item pickup in Camarillo

Ventura County Public Works says Camarillo’s trash hauler, E.J. Harrison and Sons, provides free bulky item pickup service to residents (Ventura County Public Works). Call the hauler for how many pickups and items your service includes this year.

Free pickup takes items from the curb. For a garage, an attic or a whole house where things have to be carried out, or for remodel debris the hauler won’t take, we do the carrying and the hauling.
