Elliott's Junk Removal

Around Simi Valley, you hear the same few names come up when a job needs to get handled without drama, and Elliott’s Junk Removal is one of them. Clayton’s the point person most folks mention, and that matters—because with a lot of haulers you never know who’s actually showing up, or if they’re showing up at all. And here, the pattern is pretty consistent: responsive, on time, and easy to deal with.

People keep calling out how fast he gets back to them—estimate in the inbox, texts answered, timing confirmed, updates on arrival. That “no fuss” coordination shows up a lot, especially for out-of-state family members trying to help parents, property managers turning rentals, or anyone juggling remodel schedules that shift. Have you ever tried getting a flaky junk guy to commit to a day and time? This outfit seems to treat that part like the job, not an afterthought.

On site, the reviews read like real cleanup work, not just “grab a bag and go.” Heavy oak bed frames upstairs, old couches, grills, lawn mowers, TVs off the wall, assisted living furniture moves, side-yard piles, renovation debris, backyard dumping-ground type mess. And they don’t blink when the pile grows—more than a few people say they kept adding things and Clayton just rolled with it. Plus they work quick, back the trailer in, load it out, and they leave it clean—vacuumed, mopped, dirt and dust addressed. Not everyone does that. Most crews just drag stuff out and leave you with the gritty aftermath.

Pricing sounds like what you want in this business: fair price, reasonable, transparent with pricing, estimate was right on. One reviewer even spelled out the usual “runaround up to 225” from other places and said Clayton came in lower and actually followed through. But it’s not just cheap—folks mention he isn’t pushy, he feels trustworthy, and he treats elderly parents with kindness and respect. That’s the kind of detail you only notice when you’ve dealt with the opposite.

However, what really stands out to me is the attitude on the job. Professional and courteous, personable, no ego, willing to accommodate little asks—move a chair “just because they could,” watch out for cats, set up a plastic barrier to isolate a work area, even cut down a headboard carefully so the family could reuse it later. Who does that unless they take pride in how they leave a place?

If you need same day service, clear communication, and a crew that can handle the messy realities without excuses, Elliott’s Junk Removal is about as steady as it gets around here—and that reputation doesn’t happen by accident.
