Lake Forest is known for its peaceful streets, green parks, and friendly neighborhoods. But with over 85,000 people calling it home (as of July 1, 2023), it’s easy for clutter to build up. Old furniture, busted appliances, yard trimmings, and leftover construction mess—these things pile up faster than you think. Suddenly, the garage is packed, or the side yard’s become a dumping ground. That’s when Junk Smiths steps in to help.
We’re a family-run crew based right here in Orange County. We know the area and the kind of mess life can make. With more than 50 years of combined experience, we help Lake Forest residents—homeowners, renters, and small businesses—clear out the stuff they no longer need. We show up on time, do the work right, and always leave your place cleaner than we found it.

We’re not some out-of-town franchise. We live and work right here in Lake Forest. We know the streets, the people, and the way this city runs. When you call Junk Smiths, you’re hiring a neighbor who actually gives a damn about keeping your home or business looking good.
We’ve been hauling junk for decades—literally. With 50+ years of combined experience, we’ve seen every kind of mess out there. From busted-up furniture to yard waste and contractor leftovers, we show up ready. We’re fast, respectful, and never cut corners.
Got junk that needs to be gone yesterday? We get it. That’s why we offer same-day and next-day service. No waiting two weeks. No no-shows. Just book it, and we’ll be there when we say we will—on time, every time.
We charge by how much space your stuff takes up in our truck. No mystery fees. No weird line items. You get a clear quote before we start, and that’s the price. No surprises. No nonsense.
Dumping everything in a landfill isn’t our move. We sort out what can be recycled or donated and keep usable stuff out of the trash heap. We work with local charities and recycling centers, so your junk might just end up helping someone else.
