Clearing the Way for Community and a Clean Start: Platinum Bucket Junk Removal

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When it comes to junk removal, there’s a name that stands out in Lake Forest—Platinum Bucket Junk Removal. Founded in 2021, this family-owned and operated business isn’t just about hauling away clutter, it’s a community-focused company dedicated to making a difference while providing reliable and friendly service. Owned and operated by the “dynamic duo” Christina and Juan Brittos, Platinum Bucket offers a wide variety of junk removal solutions, ranging from residential cleanouts to commercial projects, e-waste disposal, hoarder cleanouts, and more.

Christina, a Lake Forest native, brings a personal touch to an industry often known for its impersonal nature. Before founding Platinum Bucket, Christina and Juan were dedicated personal trainers helping clients achieve healthier lives. The relationship-building skills they developed in the fitness industry translate seamlessly into their junk removal business. For Christina, it’s not just about cleaning spaces, it’s about creating a positive, friendly experience for every client. That’s exactly what sets Platinum Bucket apart from the competition.

 

In fact, Christina's philosophy of providing individualized, top-notch service is reflected in every aspect of Platinum Bucket’s operations. Whether you’re dealing with a cluttered garage or a commercial space full of debris, you can expect a professional team that treats every job as a priority and every customer like family. Cristina and Juan are proud of the high standards they’ve set for their company; when you choose Platinum Bucket, you’re partnering with a team that truly cares about you. This approach is also evident in their offer of same-day and next-day assistance when available, as well as their commitment to working rain or shine so that your needs are met quickly and efficiently, no matter the weather.

 

 

The inspiration for Platinum Bucket Junk Removal came from Juan and Christina’s desire to stay active and continue helping others. With a strong background in business ownership, she uses all her life experience to ensure Platinum Bucket operates at the highest standard. This includes using her incredible photography skills to help spotlight the company on social media. Not only that, but her focus on helping others extends far beyond her day-to-day work. The Brittos family is deeply committed to giving back to their community, recently donating items from a cleanout to Mercy House, demonstrating their dedication to supporting local causes. In March, Platinum Bucket held their most recent biannual Toy Swap Event, the next of which will take place November 1st. In addition, the company emphasizes eco-friendly practices, ensuring items are either recycled or donated whenever possible.

As a proud native of Lake Forest, Christina couldn't imagine running Platinum Bucket anywhere else. It made perfect sense for her to start the business from home, allowing her to stay connected with her community while growing her and her husband’s business. While Platinum Bucket serves all of Orange County—and neighboring areas like Long Beach, Oceanside, and Corona—Christina and Juan ensure the business retains a close-knit, local feel. Platinum Bucket is proud to serve the Lake Forest community, and their passion for the area shines through in the way they run their business. Whether you need junk removal for your home, your office, or a construction site, Platinum Bucket is there with a friendly smile and a commitment to excellent service.

However, what truly sets Platinum Bucket apart is their attention to detail and their focus on building lasting relationships with their clients. Unlike large, impersonal junk removal companies, Platinum Bucket’s team takes the time to understand each client’s needs and give them the attention they deserve. This commitment to client-focused care is not only reflected in their team, but their hiring practices. Christina’s goal is to hire employees who share her and her husband’s passion for providing top-tier service and building personal connections with clients. Platinum Bucket is not only there to pick up junk; they’re there to make a difference and to be that friendly, reliable face that people can count on.

 

 

 

Platinum Bucket also offers special promotions to make their offerings even more accessible. Seniors over the age of 65 and veterans enjoy a 10% discount, as do all new clients. It’s just one of the many ways Platinum Bucket strives to give back to the community and make their services as affordable as possible.
