A local family that makes the mess disappear

Junk Genies is a family-run junk-removal, demolition, and property-cleanup crew rooted right here in the Vallecito and Bayfield area — neighbors who care about keeping the lake, the valley, and the whole Four Corners safe and clean. They started with “a truck, a trailer, a dream” and have grown into a full crew with a dump truck, trailers, and a mini excavator — the right equipment to clear a single garage or demolish, haul, and grade a collapsing structure. Whether it's hauling off years of buildup, clearing wildfire fuel from a property, or keeping bears out of overflowing trash, their work helps this corner of Vallecito stay the kind of clean, cared-for place people love. Fast quotes, reliable scheduling, free estimates — call or text and they'll come look.

Why neighbors call them

💪 They take the jobs others won't

Collapsing structures, tight access, overhead utility lines, years of buildup, heavy debris. In their words, “Junk Genies specializes in the projects most people won't touch” — one recent structure was demolished, loaded out, cleaned up, and graded in a single day.

👨‍👩‍👧 A local family building something

Owner-operated, and hiring family as they grow. As they put it: “When you hire Junk Genies, you're not supporting a big corporation. You're supporting a local family that's working hard to build something meaningful.”

Good neighbors

Looking out for the valley

A couple of the things Junk Genies does on their own initiative line up with keeping Vallecito safe and clean:

Wildfire fuel-load reduction. They spend days “reducing fuel load, cleaning up downed branches, and helping create a safer, more manageable property heading into wildfire season.” That's the same defensible-space thinking in our Respect Vallecito and firewise guidance.
Bear-smart cleanup. After spotting a mama bear and cubs in Bayfield, they reminded folks to keep dumpsters secure and offer extra pickups so trash doesn't sit out overnight — exactly the habit our Wildlife page asks of everyone at the lake.
