Appliance Removal in Manteca
One of the fastest-growing cities in the county, which means two kinds of work at once: construction and remodel debris on the new side of town, and estate cleanouts in the older Powers Tract and downtown blocks.
Manteca incorporated in 1918 and has more than tripled in population since 1980, to 83,498 at the 2020 census.
Manteca includes one free curbside bulky-item pickup a year, booked through the City Solid Waste office at (209) 456-8440 or the Manteca Waste Management app (2026 Recycle Guide, read 2026-09-18).
About 28,800 homes, 81% single-family detached. 22% built in the 2000s, 17% in the 2010s.
Whatever Manteca throws at us — refrigerators and freezers, washers and dryers, ranges, ovens and cooktops and dishwashers — the job runs the same way. You send a photo or a short description, we send back a fixed number, and if you say yes we show up in a tight window and do the lifting. Refrigerant recovered by a certified handler — not dumped in a field.
We do not do the "starting at" quote over the phone, followed by a bigger number once the crew is already parked in your driveway and saying no feels awkward. That switch is common enough in this trade that it is the reason a lot of people put off calling anyone.

Nobody legitimate takes household hazardous waste on a junk run — it has to go through a county HHW event. We separate it out, stack it where you can find it, and tell you the nearest drop-off date instead of quietly leaving it in a corner.
Appliance Removal prices in Manteca
Most junk removal companies in this market will not put a price on their website. We will. You get the exact number in writing before anyone touches anything, and it does not move unless the pile does.
| Load size | About | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum load | Up to 1/8 of the trailer: a couch and a chair, a few boxes, or a small curbside pile. One fee item on its own (a mattress, an appliance) is also the minimum. | $200 |
| Quarter load | A bedroom of furniture, or a modest garage corner. | $275 |
| Half load | A one-car garage, a living room, or a small shed. | $425 |
| Three-quarter load | A packed two-car garage or a large room plus yard debris. | $595 |

Where your Manteca junk actually goes
Most of what leaves a Manteca job goes to Lovelace MRF & Transfer Station in Manteca, at a posted gate rate of $78.78 per ton as of 2026-01-01. Lovelace MRF & Transfer Station is open seven days a week, which is why we can run Manteca jobs on a Sunday when almost nobody else in this market will.
Hauling it yourself instead? What Lovelace charges and takes is laid out gate-side, with the effective date on every fee.
Before that, usable furniture and appliances go to donation, and metal, cardboard, e-waste and green waste get separated out. We keep the weight tickets on every load and we will hand them to you if you want to see them — that is not something most haulers offer and it is the fastest way to tell whether someone is actually disposing legally or dumping on a county road.
Why this matters to your price: gate rates across our service area range from $40.64 a ton at Foothill Sanitary Landfill to $109.25 at Western Placer Waste Management Authority. Routing loads to the right gate is most of the difference between a hauler who can hold a price and one who surprises you at the end.

Manteca questions
How fast can you get to Manteca?
Manteca is about 37 minutes from our Lockeford yard, so it is inside our normal daily route rather than an out-of-area trip. That is the practical reason we can hold same-day and next-day slots here when a Sacramento-based company quoting the same job is adding an hour of windshield time each way.
Where does the debris from a Manteca job go?
Lovelace MRF & Transfer Station in Manteca, currently $78.78 per ton as of 2026-01-01. It is open seven days, which is why Sunday service is available in this area. Donation-quality items go to a receiving charity first, and metal, cardboard, e-waste and green waste are separated out. We keep the weight ticket on every load.
Why is there a charge for refrigerators?
Refrigerant has to be recovered by a certified technician before the unit can be scrapped — that is federal law, not a made-up fee. $90 covers it. Anyone quoting you $0 on a fridge is either not recovering the refrigerant or making it up elsewhere.
Can you disconnect it?
Yes — water lines, dryer vents, and gas at the existing shutoff valve. We do not cut or cap gas lines; that is a plumber's job and we will say so.
Do you buy working appliances?
No, but if it works we will try to place it with a donation partner instead of scrapping it, which sometimes reduces your price.
What about a water heater?
$200 on its own, which is our job minimum, or $125 added to a bigger haul. We shut off the water and gas at the valves. If it needs to be drained first, tell us and we will bring time for it.
