LA County 70% diversion mandate
Contractor COI in 24 hrs
Same-day pickup, El Monte-based
If you're a contractor working in El Monte — or a homeowner mid-renovation — you already know the City contracts Valley Vista Services for residential trash, and Valley Vista won't take construction debris. LA County Code 20.87 also requires 70% of all C&D material to be diverted from landfill through certified Material Recovery Facilities. Junk Removal Pros handles both problems: same-day pickup for renovation loads, routing through certified MRFs, and weight-ticket documentation in your inbox for Title 24 CALGreen and Code 20.87 compliance. We're licensed, bonded, and El Monte–dispatched, so we know which MRFs accept which material streams and how to keep your permit paperwork clean.

C&D materials we take
Six material streams handled, separated, and routed correctly
Construction debris doesn't go into one pile. Each stream below has its own recycling pathway and its own MRF — which is why mixing them properly matters for your 70% diversion documentation.
Framing Lumber
2x4s, 2x6s, dimensional lumber off-cuts, plywood scrap, OSB. Clean wood goes to mulch and biofuel recovery; treated lumber routes separately for special disposal.
Tile, Flooring & Subfloor
Ceramic tile, porcelain, vinyl, laminate, hardwood plank, carpet + pad. Subfloor (plywood, OSB) separated from finish flooring for material recovery.
Plumbing & Fixtures
Copper pipe, PVC, ABS, cast iron drain stack, sinks, toilets, vanities, tub surrounds, faucets. Copper and brass route to scrap-metal recovery.
Electrical & Wire
Romex scrap, conduit, junction boxes, breakers, broken fixtures, old panels. Copper wire stripped and sent to certified scrap-metal recyclers.
Small Concrete & Masonry
Slab pieces under ~500 lbs, brick, block, mortar lumps. Routed to concrete crushing facilities for re-use as base-rock and structural fill.
Won't take: Asbestos materials (call a Cal/OSHA-certified abatement contractor first), large concrete loads over ~500 lbs (rent a 10-yard dumpster), wet paint/solvents/oils (drop free at 3990 Arden Drive HHW facility).
C&D pricing — El Monte
Flat-rate by truck size, by-volume not by-weight
Construction debris is dense — pricing by weight punishes you for the concrete and tile that should be cheapest to handle. We price by truck volume, weight tickets included free, with a small line-item if heavy concrete pushes you to a multi-truck day.
| Tier | Typical C&D load | Flat rate |
|---|---|---|
| ¼ Truck | Small bath remodel tear-out: tile, vanity, toilet, drywall scrap. ~80–120 cu ft. | $229 |
| ½ Truck | Kitchen remodel debris: cabinets, countertops, fixtures, flooring. ~180–240 cu ft. | $389 |
| ¾ Truck | Multi-room renovation: drywall, lumber, mixed fixtures. ~300–360 cu ft. | $549 |
| Full Truck | Whole-floor gut or large addition cleanup. ~420–480 cu ft. Includes weight ticket. | $729 |
| Multi-Truck Day | Full home demolition cleanup or large concrete loads. Walkthrough first. | $1,050+ |
Documentation included: certified MRF weight ticket, material-recovery breakdown by stream, LA County Code 20.87 diversion documentation. Delivered within 48 hours of haul. Add-ons: heavy concrete surcharge over ~500 lbs +$95 per cubic yard · contractor COI named-additional-insured $0 (included) · same-day rush slot +$80.
How a renovation cleanup runs
Four steps from job-site photo to weight ticket in your inbox
Job-site photo or walkthrough
Text a photo of the debris pile or schedule a free walkthrough for larger demo jobs. We identify the streams (drywall, lumber, tile, fixtures, metal scrap) and quote the truck size — flat-rate, in writing, before any work starts.
COI to your GC + scheduling
Contractor COI within 24 hours, named-additional-insured on request. Same-day pickup for smaller loads, scheduled slot for multi-truck days. We work around your GC's site schedule (most contractors prefer end-of-day haul-aways to keep the site clear).
Load, separate streams on the truck
Drywall in one bin, framing lumber stacked separately, copper and brass set aside, fixtures palletized. Material separation on the truck is what makes the 70% diversion percentage achievable — mixed loads dump to landfill, separated loads route to MRFs.
MRF routing + weight ticket delivery
Each stream goes to its proper LA County–certified MRF. We collect weight tickets and material-recovery breakdowns, then deliver them to you (or directly to your GC or the El Monte building department) within 48 hours for Title 24 CALGreen and Code 20.87 compliance documentation.
Why El Monte contractors call us
Faster than a dumpster, cleaner than a roll-off
For renovation loads under ~3 cubic yards with mixed materials, our flat-rate haul beats a 10-yard dumpster rental on both speed and cost. There's no 2–3 day wait for delivery, no street-placement permit hassle, and the labor of loading the dumpster is built into our price. For bigger jobs, we're honest: a dumpster might be the right call. We'll tell you which is cheaper for your job — we'd rather lose the haul than overcharge.
- Weight tickets on every load. Original MRF documentation delivered within 48 hours.
- LA County Code 20.87 ready. 70% diversion mandate compliance built into the workflow.
- Title 24 CALGreen contractors trust us. Permit paperwork comes back clean.
- Stream separation on the truck. Drywall, lumber, metal, fixtures, concrete — sorted as we load.

Exceeds LA County Code 20.87 mandate
Construction FAQ — El Monte
Three questions GCs and remodelers ask first
Do you provide weight tickets for permit compliance?
Yes. Every C&D load routed through a certified LA County Material Recovery Facility produces a weight ticket and material-recovery breakdown. For Title 24 CALGreen permits and LA County Code 20.87 compliance (70% C&D diversion mandate), we provide the original tickets directly to the contractor or building department within 48 hours of the haul. No extra fee for documentation — it's part of the flat-rate quote.
What construction debris will you NOT take?
Asbestos-containing materials (common in pre-1978 El Monte homes — popcorn ceilings, vinyl floor tile, pipe insulation) require a Cal/OSHA-certified abatement contractor; we don't haul. Large concrete or asphalt loads over ~500 lbs are usually cheaper to handle with a 10-yard dumpster rental — we'll point you to one. Wet paint, solvents, motor oil, pool chemicals route through the City of El Monte HHW facility at 3990 Arden Drive. Treated lumber and pressure-treated wood we take, but separated for special disposal.
How does your C&D pricing compare to renting a dumpster?
For renovation cleanups with mixed materials (drywall, fixtures, cabinets, flooring) under ~3 cubic yards, our flat-rate haul is usually cheaper and faster than a 10-yard dumpster rental ($384–$587 in El Monte) because labor and disposal are included. For multi-day demolition or jobs over 5 cubic yards with heavy concrete or asphalt, dumpster rental wins on cost per cubic yard. Send us a job photo and we'll tell you honestly which makes sense for your job — we'd rather give you the right answer than the wrong sale.
