Zero Junk.

Moving Junk Removal and Move Out Cleanouts in San Jose

Moving is when you find out how much you have been keeping. Zero Junk handles the part the movers will not: the broken furniture, the old mattress, the shed and garage leftovers, and everything you decided at the last minute is not coming with you.

Book us before the move so you only pay to transport what you actually want, or after it to clear the flattened boxes, packing material and whatever the last occupant left behind. Same day slots are often available, and you get a firm price before anything is loaded.

How a Moving Cleanout Works

1
Book Around Your Moving Date

Pick a date and a two hour window that fits around the movers, the handover or the walkthrough. Tell us roughly what is going. Same day is often available if a deadline has moved on you.

2
We Call Before We Arrive

We call or text 15 to 30 minutes ahead so you are not waiting in on a day that is already full. When we see the load you get a firm price before anything is lifted.

3
We Load It and Haul It Away

Nothing needs to be at the curb and nothing needs sorting first. We do the carrying, down stairs and out of apartments included, then sweep the space before we go.

Before the Move or After It, We Clear What Is Not Going

Booking Before the Move

Movers charge by what they carry, so every broken chair and dead treadmill that goes on the truck costs you twice: once to move it and once to get rid of it later. Clearing before packing day means you pay to transport only what you actually want. Most people book us a week or two out, once the sorting has started and the pile by the garage door has stopped growing.

Booking After the Move

The other half of our moving work happens once everyone has gone. Flattened cardboard, packing paper and bubble wrap, the furniture that did not survive the trip, and whatever the previous occupant left in the garage. One visit clears it, and you get the new place usable instead of stacked with boxes you have nowhere to put.

Why People Moving in San Jose Choose Zero Junk

Moves Are Our Busiest Season

A large share of our work is people mid move, so the crews know how these days run. We arrive in the window, we do not block the moving truck, and we work around whatever else is happening in the driveway.

Rated Five Stars by San Jose Customers

Our customers mention the same three things: we turn up when we said, the price does not change, and the crew is easy to have around on a stressful day. Their words are further down this page.

We Work to Your Moving Deadline

Handover dates do not move, so neither do we. If the keys go back on Friday, we clear it before Friday. Same day slots are available when something changes at the last minute, which on a move it usually does.

Donated and Recycled First

Furniture, appliances and household goods in usable condition go to local donation partners. Cardboard, metal and electronics go to recyclers. Only what cannot be reused or recovered goes to a licensed disposal site.

We Treat Your Things with Care

Moving days are already stressful and plenty of what we take has some history to it. We ask before anything borderline goes on the truck, and we protect floors and doorframes on the way out.

How Zero Junk Helps San Jose

We Support Good Causes in San Jose  

More than a junk removal company, we try to make sure what leaves your old place has somewhere better to go than a landfill.

Furniture, appliances, clothing and household goods in usable condition are offered to local donation partners before anything else. On a move that is often a good share of the load, because most of what people leave behind still works, it just does not fit the new place.

Moving Cleanouts We Handle in San Jose

1. Clearing Before a Move or a Remodel

Planning a move or a remodel? Clear the things that are not coming before the packing starts or the contractors arrive. It lowers the moving bill and gives the trades a space they can actually work in.

2. Landlord and Tenant Turnovers

Tenants book us to clear what will not fit in the car so the deposit inspection goes smoothly. Landlords book us for what gets left behind between tenancies, usually at short notice. We work to the turnover date, and larger jobs can run as an apartment or home cleanout.

3. Property Managers and Estates

 If you are managing a portfolio or handling a family estate, you need one call and a crew that turns up. We invoice properly, work to a schedule, and can clear several units in sequence. See property management cleanouts and home and estate cleanouts.

4. Pre Listing Clearances for Realtors

An empty room photographs better and shows better. We clear the furniture, the garage and the shed before the photographer comes, working to the listing date rather than to our own schedule.

In addition to these services, we’re committed to the environment. With our Eco-conscious disposal services, we prioritize Green disposal and recycling in San Jose. We don’t just remove the clutter; we ensure it’s disposed of in a way that benefits our planet.

Same day service, kept me informed about ETA, and highly efficient loading meant a minimized charge.

Amazing! Zero Junk was professional, quick, honest service… and most importantly reasonably priced! Thank you so much for making the Sunday trip (they don’t work Sundays) to pick up our junk. I will defiantly refer you to all our friends and family for junk removal services.

If you're in need of commercial e-waste disposal, I highly recommend Zero Junk. They were able to safely dispose of our old office computers and electronics and even provided us with a certificate of destruction.

I had a lot of cardboard boxes leftover from a recent move and Zero Junk was able to come by and pick them up the same day I called. Their cardboard box pickup service was affordable and hassle-free.

Zero Junk responded to my query immediately, set up appointment for the next day and showed up on time. Alex and Ajax were friendly and efficient. Would definitely recommend this service and would use them again!

FAQs

Either, and plenty of customers book both. Before the move means you are not paying the movers to carry things you will throw out anyway. After the move clears the flattened boxes, packing material and anything the last occupant left. Tell us your moving date and we will fit around it.

Yes, on request. We can confirm where a load went and provide a certificate of destruction for electronics and documents. Ask when you book so we log it on the job from the start.

Paperwork is handled separately and never left loose. If you want documents destroyed rather than recycled, say so when you book and we will arrange secure destruction with a certificate. On estate and office clearances we treat all paperwork this way by default.

Asbestos, hazardous materials and solvents, pesticides, propane tanks, car batteries and biohazard material. Santa Clara County runs a household hazardous waste programme for most of those, free to residents by appointment, and we will point you to it.
