Junk removal and hauling in Carpinteria, CA

Carpinteria homes, by the numbers

Carpinteria has about 5,100 lived-in homes and about 13,000 people (Census Reporter, Carpinteria). About 64 percent were built before 1980, only about 38 percent are detached houses, and about 16 percent are mobile homes, a larger share than any other town on this site.

Mobile homes, condos and older houses with small yards mean tight spaces: carports, sheds and side yards to clear, furniture carried out of small rooms, and remodel debris from older units.

Mobile home and small-space cleanouts

In a mobile home park, the work is often a full clear-out before a sale or a move: furniture, appliances, the shed and the carport. We carry everything out by hand where a machine won’t fit and keep the trailer where the park allows.

Ask your park office about their rules for trailers and work hours before the day. See junk removal for what we take.

Brush and recycling in Carpinteria

Carpinteria and Summerland have their own fire protection district, so brush rules come from them; Santa Barbara County Fire’s Standard 6 sets at least 100 feet for the county around them (Santa Barbara County Fire Standard 6). Santa Barbara County’s recycling site lists where hazardous waste and large appliances go (LessIsMore.org hazardous waste, large appliances).

For the foothill side of town, brush clearing covers it.

Appliances, electronics and bulky items in Carpinteria

Santa Barbara County’s rule for electronics is simple: if it plugs in, charges up or takes batteries, it can’t go in the trash. Refrigerators, washers, dryers and stoves are recycled for their metal, and some retailers take the old one back when they deliver a new one (LessIsMore.org large appliances).

The county also says most trash haulers offer one or two free bulky item pickups a year, so ask yours first for a single couch or appliance. For a mobile home or condo cleanout with stairs, tight carports or a full shed, we carry it out by hand.
