Homeless Encampment Cleanup in Orange County: A Guide for Property Owners

When an encampment is left behind on a lot, behind a business, or along a fence line, the property owner is usually the one responsible for the cleanup. It can be a lot of material, and it’s hard to know where to start. Tonka Junk helps property owners, landlords, and businesses across Orange County, including Santa Ana, Anaheim, Costa Mesa, and Huntington Beach, clear their property so it’s safe and usable again.

A respectful approach to encampment cleanup

Homelessness is a hard situation for the people living through it. We treat every job with care and respect, and our focus is on hauling away what’s been left behind once a site has been vacated, so the property can be put back to use.

Before the cleanup: safety first

Check with your city about any steps required before a site is cleared. Don’t pick up needles, sharps, or anything that looks hazardous with your bare hands. Leave those for trained professionals, and keep the area closed off until they’ve been handled.

What we haul away

We remove the bulky items and debris that tend to pile up at these sites: tents and tarps, mattresses, furniture, carts, bags of trash, wood, and other junk. Everything is loaded into our 10-foot dump trailer or 22-foot truck, and we work with recycling facilities and local charities so anything usable can be donated and the rest is disposed of responsibly.

How encampment cleanup is priced

We price by volume, based on how much of the trailer or truck the debris fills, and you get your exact price before we start. For more detail, read how much junk removal costs in Orange County.
