the Golden State

California

Junk, boats, RVs, cleanouts across the Golden State.

California is where the jobs get big: RVs parked on Inland Empire lots for a decade, sailboats abandoned in Delta sloughs, and estate cleanouts in houses that have not changed since the seventies. We are built for exactly that scale.

This page is the map of everything Lucky Hauling does in California: 468 cities and towns, 15 services, and the state rules that affect boats and RVs. Every city and every service below has its own page.

Regions

Where we work in California

California is 6 markets, not one. Here is how each one runs.

  1. 01

    Southern California

    Around Los Angeles. Boat calls come from the Pacific Coast, Newport Harbor, Mission Bay and Marina del Rey, plus the marinas and ramps that serve them. Residential cleanouts, RV and camper pulls, and commercial hauls across the area.

  2. 02

    The Bay Area

    Around San Jose. Boat calls come from San Francisco Bay, the Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta, Lake Berryessa and Lake Chabot, plus the marinas and ramps that serve them. Residential cleanouts, RV and camper pulls, and commercial hauls across the area.

  3. 03

    The Central Valley

    Around Fresno. Boat calls come from the Sacramento River, the San Joaquin River, Millerton Lake and Lake Kaweah, plus the marinas and ramps that serve them. Residential cleanouts, RV and camper pulls, and commercial hauls across the area.

  4. 04

    The Inland Empire

    Around Riverside. Boat calls come from Lake Perris, Lake Elsinore, Big Bear Lake and Lake Arrowhead, plus the marinas and ramps that serve them. Residential cleanouts, RV and camper pulls, and commercial hauls across the area.

  5. 05

    The Central Coast

    Around Santa Barbara. Boat calls come from Monterey Bay, Morro Bay, Lake Nacimiento and Lake Cachuma, plus the marinas and ramps that serve them. Residential cleanouts, RV and camper pulls, and commercial hauls across the area.

  6. 06

    The Sierra foothills

    Around Sacramento. Boat calls come from Lake Tahoe, Folsom Lake, Lake Oroville and Don Pedro Reservoir, plus the marinas and ramps that serve them. Residential cleanouts, RV and camper pulls, and commercial hauls across the area.

Services in California

15 services, statewide

Every service is available in every California city we list. Each one has a statewide page with local rules, and a page for every city.

  1. 01

    Junk Removal

    Point at it. It's gone. Full-service junk removal for homes, garages, storage units, and job sites.

  2. 02

    Junk Hauling

    Truck, crew, and trailer for the big loads. Junk hauling is for the jobs that need more than a pickup: multi-truck cleanouts, bulk debris, and heavy or awkward loads that need a trailer and a winch.

  3. 03

    Above Ground Pool Removal

    Drained, dismantled, hauled, and the yard raked flat. We take down above ground pools completely: liner, wall panels, frame, deck attachments, pump, and filter.

  4. 04

    Property Cleanout

    Whole-house, estate, and rental turnovers on a deadline. Estate cleanouts, foreclosure and eviction turnovers, and whole-property clear-outs handled start to finish.

  5. 05

    Bed Bug Furniture Removal

    Sealed, removed, and disposed of without spreading it. Infested mattresses, box springs, couches, and upholstered furniture removed with sealed wraps and a dedicated protocol so the problem does not travel through your hallway or your building.

  6. 06

    RV Removal

    Running or not, titled or not, gone in a day. Motorhomes, travel trailers, fifth wheels, and abandoned campers removed from driveways, storage lots, farms, and back fields.

  7. 07

    Pop Up Camper Removal

    Collapsed roofs and rotted canvas are exactly what we expect. Pop-up and tent campers are light enough that people think they can deal with them later, and heavy enough that they never do.

  8. 08

    Hoarding Cleanout

    Discreet, patient, and done in stages if that's what it takes. Hoarding cleanouts are as much about people as about volume.

  9. 09

    Camper Removal

    Truck campers, slide-ins, and trailers off the property. Slide-in truck campers, small travel trailers, and teardrops removed whether they are on a truck, on jacks, or sitting on blocks in the weeds.

  10. 10

    Boat Removal

    Fishing boats to cabin cruisers, from driveway, dock, or yard. Boat removal takes marine-rated straps, trailers rated for oversized loads, and the experience to back down a marina ramp.

  11. 11

    Sailboat Removal

    Mast down, keel handled, hull hauled. Sailboats need a different plan than powerboats: the mast has to come down, the keel changes how the hull sits on a trailer, and marinas want it done without disturbing the neighbors.

  12. 12

    Sunken Boat Recovery

    Pumped, floated, and out of the water before it becomes a fine. A swamped or sunk boat at the dock is a spill risk, a navigation hazard, and in many states a ticking fine.

  13. 13

    Boat Refloating

    Grounded or swamped, back on the water without a wrecker. Not every boat in trouble needs to be scrapped.

  14. 14

    Fence Removal

    Posts pulled, concrete footings out, line raked clean. Wood, chain link, vinyl, and wrought iron fences removed including the posts and the concrete they are set in.

  15. 15

    Carpet Removal

    Carpet, pad, and tack strips out before the installers arrive. Whole-house carpet and pad removal, including the tack strips and staples, hauled away the same day.

California rules

Titles, disposal, and the rules that matter in California

Boats: titling and registration run through California DMV, with abandoned vessel programs run through the Division of Boating and Waterways. If you do not have the title, there is a release or abandoned-vessel process and we prepare it with you before pickup. Common waters: the Pacific Coast, San Francisco Bay, the Sacramento Delta and Lake Tahoe.

RVs, campers, and vehicles: untitled or abandoned units go through California DMV. We tell you exactly what to sign so the unit can legally leave your property, and you get documentation.

Disposal: California landfill fees are among the highest in the country and mattresses, e-waste, and appliances with refrigerant all have mandatory recycling paths. Hazardous materials such as paint, solvents, chemicals, and asbestos go through your county's household hazardous waste program, not through us. Everything else is sorted for donation and recycling first.

Questions

California questions, answered

Do you cover all of California?

We list every incorporated city and town with more than a thousand residents, 468 in total, across Southern California, the Bay Area, the Central Valley, the Inland Empire, the Central Coast and the Sierra foothills. If yours is smaller, we almost certainly still cover it; call and we confirm.

Are you licensed and insured in California?

Yes. General liability and auto coverage on every job in California, and a certificate of insurance emailed on request before the crew arrives.

Can you take a boat or RV without a title in California?

Usually. Boats go through California DMV, with abandoned vessel programs run through the Division of Boating and Waterways and vehicles through California DMV, each with a release process for untitled or abandoned units. We prepare the paperwork with you.

How fast can you get to me in California?

Same-day and next-day windows are common in the larger metros. Smaller towns are usually scheduled within a few days. Call early in the day for the best chance at same-day.

Where does everything go?

Donation first, recycling second, licensed disposal last. California landfill fees are among the highest in the country and mattresses, e-waste, and appliances with refrigerant all have mandatory recycling paths.

What won't you take?

Paint, solvents, chemicals, asbestos, and medical waste. Your county hazardous waste program handles those. Almost everything else goes.
