About EarthWise Hauling & Eco-Friendly Junk Removal

We Go the Extra Mile to Keep Junk Out of Landfills

At EarthWise Hauling & Junk Removal, we believe junk removal should do more than simply clear space — it should help protect the environment and support the local community. We founded EarthWise with one mission in mind: provide Orange County homeowners and businesses with a cleaner, more environmentally responsible alternative to traditional junk hauling companies.

Every pickup we complete is approached with sustainability in mind. Rather than sending everything directly to the landfill, we focus on:

  • Recycling reusable materials
  • Donating salvageable items
  • Reducing unnecessary waste
  • Supporting environmental organizations within Orange County

When you choose EarthWise, you are choosing a company that actively works to minimize environmental impact while helping keep local communities cleaner and more sustainable.

A Smarter, More Sustainable Approach to Junk Removal

Many junk removal companies prioritize speed alone. At EarthWise, we prioritize responsible disposal practices alongside efficient service.

Our eco-conscious hauling process helps divert reusable and recyclable materials away from local landfills whenever possible. Items we commonly recycle or donate include:

  • Furniture
  • Appliances
  • Electronics
  • Yard debris
  • Cardboard
  • Metal
  • Construction materials
  • Household goods
Zero Waste to Landfill

This environmentally responsible approach helps reduce landfill waste throughout Orange County while giving customers confidence that their unwanted items are being handled responsibly.

And just in case you are wondering, we still manage to be 20% cheaper, on average when compared to the national franchised competitors. That means doing the right thing doesn’t cost you anything more! In fact, you will likely spend less by choosing EarthWise.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does my junk go after pickup?

Southern California is home to a number of mission focused facilities, organizations, and companies that reuse or recycle items—and we make it our mission to work with them. While most junk removal companies take the easy way out, we put in the extra effort to ensure your items end up in the right place.

Most residential pick-ups are brought back to our warehouse, where we sort everything by hand. From there, we distribute items to a wide network of trusted partners:

  • Metal, concrete, paper, wood and e-waste recyclers
  • Specialty organizations that repurpose usable goods
  • And even our own on-line second-hand store, where gently used items are sold back to the community at a discount

If the idea of your items being reused, recycled, or repurposed sounds good to you, make the smart, eco-conscious choice—choose EarthWise Hauling.

Are you a licensed and insured company?

We are the only junk removal company in Southern California that holds the proper state-required license and bonds to legally remove and dispose of construction debris such as wood, drywall, concrete and metal. We also carry $1,000,000 policies for General Liability, Commercial Auto, and Workers Comp for your peace of mind. Plus, we’re registered with the California Department of Toxic Substances Control as an official Electronic Waste Handler. That means we can handle all your E-waste and appliance removal needs.
