- 1-7 days for a typical Herald job.
Dump Trailer Rental in Herald
Herald is home to Rancho Seco, the SMUD nuclear plant that voters shut down in June 1989; its federal license was terminated in 2018. Around it is open county land off Highway 104 and Twin Cities Road, with fewer than 500 homes, most built in the 1970s and 1990s.
On June 6, 1989, 53.4 percent of voters chose to close Rancho Seco, and SMUD took it offline the next day. "Rancho Seco" is Spanish for "dry ranch."
Arcohe Elementary, of the Arcohe Union Elementary district, is at 11755 Ivie Road, Herald.
About 482 homes. 32% built in the 1970s, 26% in the 1990s. Wide margin on the median.
Whatever Herald throws at us — household junk and general cleanout debris, construction and remodel debris, roofing (heavy — priced by weight) and yard waste and green waste — 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. No permit runs, no driveway damage, no dumpster sitting on the street for a week.
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
- Household junk and general cleanout debris
- Construction and remodel debris
- Roofing (heavy — priced by weight)
- Yard waste and green waste
- Concrete and dirt (heavy tier, ask first)
- Furniture and appliances (item fees apply)
What we can't
- Household hazardous waste
- Paint, solvents, oil
- Tires (we take them, but separately, $25 each)
- Anything that would put the trailer over its rated weight — we would rather make a second trip than get you a ticket
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 Herald junk actually goes
Most of what leaves a Herald job goes to Kiefer Landfill in Sloughhouse, at a posted gate rate of $61.35 per ton as of 2026-01-01. Kiefer Landfill is open seven days a week, which is why we can run Herald jobs on a Sunday when almost nobody else in this market will.
Hauling it yourself instead? Here are Kiefer 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 $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.

How a Herald job runs
- 1
Pick your window
One day, a weekend, or a full week. You are not on a dumpster company's schedule.
- 2
We drop it where you want it
Driveway, side yard, jobsite. The trailer is low enough to walk debris into instead of throwing it over a wall.
- 3
Fill it on your time
No hourly clock, no crew standing around.
- 4
Text us and we are gone
Usually same-day pickup. Weight is settled on the scale ticket, not guessed at.
Herald questions
How fast can you get to Herald?
Herald is about 25 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 Herald job go?
Kiefer Landfill in Sloughhouse, currently $61.35 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 Herald?
Herald is unincorporated Sacramento 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.
How much does a dump trailer rental cost?
$275 for a one-day drop-and-pickup including the first ton of disposal. Additional tons are $125. Extra days are $65. A full seven-day week is $575 plus disposal. Everything is quoted before delivery.
How is this different from a roll-off dumpster?
Three ways. It is lower — you walk debris in instead of heaving it over a four-foot wall. It is shorter, so it fits in a normal driveway without blocking the sidewalk or needing a street permit. And we can move it mid-job if you need the driveway back.
Will it damage my driveway?
We set boards under the jacks and the wheels on any concrete or paver surface. A trailer sits on tires and jack stands, not on steel rails dragged across the slab the way a roll-off is set.
How much fits?
About 14 cubic yards with the side extensions in — more than a 1-800-GOT-JUNK full truck, and roughly a 10-yard roll-off. For most garage or single-room cleanouts that is one trailer.
What if I fill it faster than I thought?
Text us, we swap it. A swap is $195 plus the disposal on the load we take.
