Estate Cleanouts in Placerville
Placerville began as a mining camp on Hangtown Creek in 1848 and incorporated in 1854, where Highway 50 now crosses Highway 49. About 32% of its homes were built before 1960, and 14% in 1939 or earlier.
The site of the Hangman's Tree at 305 Main Street, from the days when the town was called Hangtown, is California Historical Landmark No. 141.
U.S. Route 50 crosses State Route 49 in Placerville, which incorporated in 1854.
About 5,074 homes. 16% built in the 1970s, 14% in 1939 or earlier, 13% in the 2000s, 13% in the 1980s; about 32% before 1960.
Whatever Placerville throws at us — entire contents of a house, garage, shed and yard, furniture from every room, decades of stored paperwork (shredding available) and appliances and electronics — 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. We work with executors, trustees, heirs and agents. Sorted, documented, and left broom-clean and listing-ready.
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
- Entire contents of a house, garage, shed and yard
- Furniture from every room
- Decades of stored paperwork (shredding available)
- Appliances and electronics
- Clothing and linens (donated where possible)
- Garage workshop contents, tools and equipment
- Vehicles and equipment removal coordinated separately
What we can't
- Household hazardous waste — we flag it and tell you exactly where it goes
- Anything you have not authorized. Nothing leaves without a signed scope.
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.
Estate Cleanouts pricing in Placerville
$1,800 – $6,500
Fixed written price after a walkthrough. Never hourly. Placerville properties sit toward the lower of that range on average, but square footage and how full the property is matter far more than which city it is in.
Placerville is in our Foothill Zone 4 travel zone, so the fixed bid includes the $385 travel fee as its own line. Nothing is added after the walkthrough number.
Where your Placerville junk actually goes
Most of what leaves a Placerville 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 Placerville jobs on a Sunday when almost nobody else in this market will.
Hauling it yourself instead? The Kiefer Landfill rules for self-haulers cover hours, payment and every posted 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.

How a Placerville job runs
- 1
Walkthrough and written scope
We walk the property with you — in person or on video if you are out of the area — and hand you a fixed, written price. No hourly surprises.
- 2
The set-aside pass
Before anything moves, we do a documented sweep for photos, documents, jewelry, firearms, cash and anything on your keep list. Found items are photographed and set aside, not guessed at.
- 3
The clear
Room by room. Donation-quality goods go to a receiving charity and you get the receipt for the deduction.
- 4
Photo-documented handoff
Before and after photos of every room, delivered the same day. If the property is going to probate court, an agent, or an out-of-state heir, this is the file that settles the questions.
Placerville questions
Is there a travel fee for Placerville?
Yes, and it is a flat $385. Placerville is about 84 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 Placerville 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.
Can you do a Placerville estate cleanout if I live out of state?
Yes, and a large share of our Placerville work is exactly that. We do a video walkthrough before we start, photograph and set aside anything on your keep list, and send before-and-after photos of every room the same day. You never have to fly in.
How much is an estate cleanout?
Most whole-house cleanouts in San Joaquin and Sacramento counties land between $1,800 and $6,500 depending on square footage, how full the property is, and whether there is a garage, shed or yard involved. We give a fixed written price after a walkthrough — never an hourly rate that grows.
I am the executor and I live out of state. Can you handle this without me?
That is a large share of what we do. We work from a lockbox, send a video walkthrough before we start, photo-document the set-aside pass, and deliver before-and-after photos of every room. You never have to fly in.
What if you find something valuable?
We photograph it, set it aside, and call you before we touch anything else. Cash, jewelry, firearms, deeds, insurance policies, savings bonds and photo albums come out of these houses regularly. Our set-aside pass exists precisely because they do.
Can you work around a probate timeline?
Yes. If the property has not cleared probate yet we can do a secure-and-assess visit now and the full clear the day authority is granted. Tell us the hearing date and we will hold the slot.
Do you coordinate with the listing agent?
Routinely. We can deliver the property broom-clean on a date the agent picks, and we will send them the after photos directly so they can schedule the photographer.
