Construction & Demolition Debris Removal in Murphys
Murphys Flat and the mines around it produced $20 million in gold, and the Traver Building on Main Street has stood since 1856. Most of its homes were built in the 1970s through the 1990s.
The business section of Murphys was destroyed by fire on August 20, 1859.
The Mitchler Hotel on Main Street opened in 1856 and was renamed the Murphys Hotel in 1945.
About 1,330 homes. 25% built in the 1970s, 19% in the 1980s, 11% in the 1990s; 12% built before 1950.
Whatever Murphys throws at us — drywall, lumber and framing scrap, cabinets, countertops and fixtures, flooring, tile, carpet and padding and roofing and siding — 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. Scheduled service or on-call. Weight tickets on every load.
What we will not do is quote you a "starting at" price on the phone and then produce a real number once a two-man crew is standing in your driveway and it is awkward to say no. That is the industry's oldest move and it is the main reason people dread calling a junk hauler at all.
What we take
- Drywall, lumber and framing scrap
- Cabinets, countertops and fixtures
- Flooring, tile, carpet and padding
- Roofing and siding
- Concrete, brick and masonry (heavy tier)
- Windows and doors
- Landscape and hardscape demolition debris
- Interior demo tear-out
What we can't
- Asbestos-containing material — that requires a licensed abatement contractor and we will tell you who
- Contaminated soil
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.
Construction & Demolition Debris Removal prices in Murphys
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 |

| Three-quarter load | A packed two-car garage or a large room plus yard debris. | $595 |

Murphys travel fee: $385 per job. Murphys is about 87 minutes from our Lodi yard, past our standard area, so full-service jobs here add one flat $385 travel fee to the prices above. It covers the extra drive time and fuel for a two-person crew coming from Lodi. It is never discounted and never added after the fact. Every travel zone and fee.
Senior and veteran pricing is 10% off and applied automatically — you should not have to ask for it twice.
Where your Murphys junk actually goes
Most of what leaves a Murphys job goes to North County Landfill in Lodi, at a posted gate rate of $60.93 per ton as of 2026-01-01. North County Landfill is open seven days a week, which is why we can run Murphys jobs on a Sunday when almost nobody else in this market will.
Hauling it yourself instead? Here are North County Landfill hours and fees, plus what it turns away.
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.

Murphys questions
Is there a travel fee for Murphys?
Yes, and it is a flat $385. Murphys is about 87 minutes from our Lodi yard, which puts it in Foothill Zone 4. The fee is added once per job on top of the published load price, it is on the written quote before you say yes, and it is not discounted or marked up. Dump trailer rental is not offered this far out.
Where does the debris from a Murphys job go?
North County Landfill in Lodi, currently $60.93 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.
Do you serve unincorporated Murphys?
Murphys is unincorporated Calaveras County, and yes — rural parcels, outbuildings, barns and deep lots are a large part of what we do out here. Long driveways and no curb access are not a problem; we bring the trailer to the pile.
Can you park a trailer on my jobsite for the whole build?
Yes, and that is the cheapest way to do it on a long remodel. $575 a week plus disposal, with swaps at $195 plus the load.
Do you handle heavy material like concrete and tile?
Yes, on a weight tier rather than a volume price — $95 per ton over the first ton. Concrete is dense enough that a half-full trailer is a full legal load, so it has to be priced that way.
Can you clean up before an inspection?
That is most of what this service is. Give us the inspection date and we will be there the day before.
Do you provide weight tickets for diversion reporting?
Yes. If your permit requires a construction waste management plan with diversion percentages, tell us at the start and we will route loads to a facility that reports it and give you the documentation.
