01Around Fresno
Where in Fresno does Papi’s pick up?
Fresno has a lot of different housing. The Tower District around the 1939 Tower Theatre at Olive and Wishon avenues is early-20th-century bungalow, Craftsman and Spanish Colonial Revival homes; north and east Fresno are newer tract neighborhoods. Papi's works all of it, from Blackstone Avenue to Friant Road.
With about 542,000 people (2020 census) and just over half of occupied homes rented, Fresno keeps the crew busy with move-outs and rental turnovers as much as single-item pickups and estate cleanouts.

02Tower District & Fig Garden
Junk removal in Tower District & Fig Garden
The Tower District grew up around the 1939 Tower Theatre at Olive and Wishon avenues. Its streets are early-20th-century California Bungalow, Craftsman, Spanish Colonial Revival and Storybook homes, and Olive Avenue is lined with restaurants, live theater and independent shops.
Old Fig Garden, on the west side, is unincorporated and completely surrounded by the city — about 5,500 people (2020 census) on tree-lined streets with largely no sidewalks. Van Ness Boulevard there has been Christmas Tree Lane every December since 1920.
Older homes and big, mature lots tend to mean estate cleanouts, attic and garage clear-outs and yard debris. Papi's handles all of it, with no long-distance fee.
03Woodward Park
Junk removal in Woodward Park
Woodward Park opened in 1968 on the south bank of the San Joaquin River between Highway 41 and Friant Road: about 300 acres with a 2,500-seat amphitheatre, the Shinzen Friendship Garden and trails on the Lewis S. Eaton Trail. The surrounding north Fresno neighborhoods carry the Woodward name, including the 1,100-home Woodward Lake subdivision.
Newer north Fresno homes keep Papi's busy with garage cleanouts, move-outs, and hot tub and playset removals.
