Dump Trailer Drop-Off & Pickup in French Camp
French Camp is named for the Hudson's Bay Company trappers who camped here from about 1832 to 1845 — the end of their trail is state landmark No. 668. Today it is home to San Joaquin General Hospital and the county jail, and about 450 homes, mostly single-family.
The San Joaquin County Sheriff's custody facility is at 7000 Michael Canlis Blvd., French Camp.
California Historical Landmark No. 668 marks French Camp as the terminus of the trail used from about 1832 to 1845 by Hudson's Bay Company trappers.
About 455 homes, mostly single-family. 25% built in the 2000s and 23% in the 1950s. Very wide margin on the median.
Whatever French Camp throws at us — construction and demolition debris, remodel tear-out — cabinets, flooring, drywall, fixtures, roofing and siding and landscape and hardscape debris — 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. Text when you are done. Most pickups happen the same day.
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.
What we take
- Construction and demolition debris
- Remodel tear-out — cabinets, flooring, drywall, fixtures
- Roofing and siding
- Landscape and hardscape debris
- Cleanout and turnover debris
- General jobsite waste
What we can't
- Hazardous waste and contaminated soil
- Anything requiring a manifest we have not agreed to in advance
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.

Where your French Camp junk actually goes
Most of what leaves a French Camp 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 French Camp jobs on a Sunday when almost nobody else in this market will.
Hauling it yourself instead? Here are Lovelace MRF & Transfer Station 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 $107.76 at the most expensive transfer station in Lodi. 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.

French Camp questions
How fast can you get to French Camp?
French Camp is about 28 minutes from our Lodi base, 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 French Camp 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.
Do you serve unincorporated French Camp?
French Camp is unincorporated San Joaquin 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 drop it before my crew shows up?
Yes. Give us the address and where to set it, and we will place it before start of work. You do not need to be there.
Do you do swaps on a long job?
Yes — that is the most common contractor arrangement. Full trailer out, empty trailer in, $195 plus disposal on the load.
How quickly do you pick up?
Most same-day if you text before early afternoon. We have to be at the landfill gate before it closes, so late-afternoon requests roll to the next morning.
Do you invoice contractors?
Yes. Net-15 after the first job, net-30 for accounts running multiple properties.
Is there a permit needed?
On private property, driveway or jobsite, no. If it has to sit in the public right-of-way that is a city encroachment question and we will tell you before we drop.
