The service was clockwork! They went above and beyond my expectation’s. The price came in $100 less than originally quoted! I would highly recommend them !
Lake Forest is really two cities in one, and we haul in both halves daily. On the newer side we clear homes in Baker Ranch, the upscale master-planned community off Bake Parkway built out between 2017 and 2020, plus Foothill Ranch up by the Towne Center and the hillside tracts of Portola Hills. On the original side we work the older tracts around the namesake lakes and the Sun and Sail Club, the homes near Lake Forest Sports Park, and the established neighborhoods off Lake Forest Drive, Trabuco, and Jeronimo.
The new-build communities and the older tracts give us very different jobs. In Baker Ranch and Foothill Ranch, a lot of our work is post-move-in: clearing out moving boxes, packaging from new furniture, and the previous owner's leftovers in homes that just changed hands. In the older lake-side and Sun and Sail Club neighborhoods, it is 30-plus years of accumulation — garages, sheds, attics, and the patio furniture that did not survive another summer. Both keep us busy year-round.
Access in Lake Forest splits the same way. Baker Ranch and Portola Hills sit up against the foothills with newer, often gated streets, alley-loaded garages, and HOA rules about where a truck can park — we stage tight and clean. The older flats near the Sports Park and the lakes are easier to reach but the homes are packed deeper, so the labor is in carrying decades of stuff out of a back bedroom or a detached shed. Either way we bring the dollies, the muscle, and the floor protection.
Straight talk on your free option first: Lake Forest residents get up to three free bulky-item pickups per calendar year through CR&R, the city's franchise hauler — up to ten large items per pickup, scheduled through CR&R customer service at (949) 520-6005. If you have one old couch and no deadline, use it. Where we earn the call is everything the city program does not do: pickups on your schedule instead of the next route day, items carried out from inside the house or up from the garage rather than curbed, loads past the ten-item cap, renovation and construction debris, and the HOA reality in Baker Ranch, Foothill Ranch, and Portola Hills — where furniture sitting at the curb waiting for a route day is exactly what generates a violation notice.
If you'd rather self-haul, the nearest county landfill is Frank R. Bowerman, just over the 241 at 11002 Bee Canyon Access Road in Irvine — weekdays 7am to 4pm only, closed weekends, and you'll need a truck, a tarp (uncovered loads get turned away or fined), and patience for the scale line. For most Lake Forest garages it takes two or three trips. We do it in one, and anything with life left gets routed to a donation outlet before the rest goes to the landfill.
Pricing in Lake Forest is consistent with the rest of South OC — the number we quote on-site is the number you pay, including loading, hauling, and disposal:
| Typical Lake Forest job | Price range |
|---|---|
| Single item (couch, mattress, appliance) | $100–$200 |
| Apartment / condo haul (Towne Center, off Muirlands) | $200–$400 |
| Packed two-car garage (older tract) or Baker Ranch three-car | $300–$500 |
| Full home cleanout (common when an older lake-side home sells) | $700–$1,400 |
Lake Forest note: the Sports Park, the lakes, and the foothill trails mean a lot of bulky recreational junk — old kayaks, paddleboards, broken bikes, soccer goals, and worn-out trampolines from the family tracts. We take all of it, and we donate the gear that still has life left. Same-day service is usually available, which helps when a Baker Ranch move-in or an older-home sale is on a clock.
We cover all of Lake Forest including the 92630, 92610 ZIPs area. Here's how our process works, the full list of items we take, and our Lake Forest cost guide.

I’ve used EA Junk Removal a handful of times. Erick and his team are prompt and responsive. I’ve been impressed by their customer service and they’re reasonably priced.
Called EA junk removal for a quote to haul away my old and bulky TV with stand that have been sitting in my garage for years. Spoke to Chad and immediately gave me a quote after I sent a picture of the items. I said I will get back to him and that I needed to get some comparables before making a decision. Called him a week after and he set a pick up date for the next day .Very satisfied with their service. Chad , Erick and crew were very courteous and professional.I would highly recommend to friends and family.
