Zomg The Handyman is a full-service junk removal and hauling crew serving 23 Northern California cities. Unlike junk-only haulers, we also disassemble furniture, patch drywall after removal, and fix what stays behind — one crew, one visit. No upfront charge: you get an instant online estimate by load size, and we confirm on-site before any work begins.

What We Can't Take
California strictly regulates hazardous waste. We can't legally remove these without specialized handling:
- Asbestos materials — requires a licensed abatement contractor
- Hazardous chemicals — solvents, pesticides, motor oil (county HHW facility only)
- Medical waste — sharps, prescription drugs
- Ammunition or explosives — police non-emergency line
- Large amounts of dirt or concrete — needs a dump truck, not a standard hauler
For everything else — furniture, appliances, e-waste, construction debris, yard waste — we handle it, including the proper recycling routing.
