Larsen's Junk Removal

Around Yucaipa and the surrounding areas, Larsen’s Junk Removal has built the kind of reputation you usually only see when a small operator actually answers the phone and does what they say they’ll do. Folks keep naming Lucas in the reviews, and that tells you something right there—this isn’t a faceless dispatch line, it’s the owner (or the guy running the job) staying responsive, texting back in minutes, giving an estimate, and showing up on time.

And “on time” isn’t being used loosely here. People talk about same day service, showing up in 30 minutes, or calling Wednesday and getting pickup Thursday. You ever schedule with a bigger outfit and they change their price, then don’t show up after you’ve burned a whole day waiting? One reviewer basically spelled that out—and then Larsen’s rolled in and handled it. That’s the difference between “we’ll get to you sometime” and a crew that runs tight.

Pricing comes up over and over: fair price, very reasonable, best price I could find, half of what waste management charges. But the bigger tell is consistency—nobody’s complaining about the number changing when the truck pulls up. They’re calling it clear, no fuss, easy to deal with, easy to pay. That’s how you keep people using you three times, then telling their neighbors.

But junk removal isn’t clean work, and the reviews point to how they act when it’s not just a couple bags by the curb. They take care of the property, run equipment without tearing things up, work careful, clean up nicely after, and don’t get precious about “job size.” Big pile? Abatement hauls? A 10-year-old hot tub in the backyard? Fire mess outside a mobile home? They just load and haul it away. Quick, efficient, thorough. That’s the unglamorous part of the trade—show up, muscle it out, don’t damage the place, and leave it cleaner than you found it. They seem to get that.

Plus you’ll see flexibility that you don’t always get from the regional chains. One customer mentioned Lucas offering to leave a dumpster for a week so they could take their time. Who does that anymore if they’re not trying to actually help, not just churn tickets through?

And the attitude stays consistent: super friendly, personable, professional, kind, respectful. Four guys showed up on time on one job and moved everything fast. Yet even when it’s just Lucas, people still mention speed and hustle—“hard worker,” “got it done in 20 minutes,” “within a few hours.” Do you want the crew that talks a big game, or the one that quietly knocks it out and gets out of your way?

If you’re in Yucaipa and you want “real deal” junk removal—on time, responsive, fair pricing, no runaround—Larsen’s is one of those outfits locals keep in their phone because they actually show up when they say they will.
