What we usually haul here
Big Bear City has more full-time residents than the city side of the lake, so a lot of our work here is garage and shed cleanouts, old appliances, furniture and yard debris. See cabin & garage cleanouts and appliance removal.

- Short-term rentals here need a San Bernardino County STR permit (not a city license). County rules require trash removal after each stay and animal-proof containers in the mountain region.
- Weed abatement notices in Big Bear City come from Big Bear Fire. See our abatement letter guide.
Chain controls on Highways 18, 38 and 330 change through the winter — check Caltrans QuickMap before a storm-day appointment.
