Garage Cleanouts in Jackson
Jackson is the Amador County seat, where Highways 49 and 88 meet, and home to the Argonaut and Kennedy mines. About 15% of its homes were built before 1940.
Jackson Gate, on the north fork of Jackson Creek, is California Historical Landmark No. 118.
State Routes 49 and 88 both run through Jackson.
About 2,589 homes. 23% built in the 2000s, 21% in the 1980s, 16% in the 1970s; 15% before 1940.
Whatever Jackson throws at us — boxes, bins and bags of stored contents, broken and outdated furniture, exercise equipment and bikes and old paint (we tell you where it goes — we cannot take it) — the job runs the same way.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. One visit, one price, broom-swept when we leave.
You will not get a phone estimate that grows once a truck is sitting in your driveway. That is the standard move in this industry, and it is exactly why most people put off calling anyone until the pile gets unbearable.
What we take
- Boxes, bins and bags of stored contents
- Broken and outdated furniture
- Exercise equipment and bikes
- Old paint (we tell you where it goes — we cannot take it)
- Lumber, scrap, and leftover building material
- Lawn equipment and non-running mowers
- Tires, up to four per job at $25 each
What we can't
- Paint, solvents, pesticides and motor oil
- Propane tanks
- Car batteries
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.
Garage Cleanouts prices in Jackson
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 |
| Full trailer | A full trailer with side extensions — more than a national-brand 'full truck'. | $775 |

Jackson travel fee: $230 per job. Jackson is about 54 minutes from our Lodi yard, past our standard area, so full-service jobs here add one flat $230 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 Jackson junk actually goes
Most of what leaves a Jackson 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 Jackson jobs on a Sunday when almost nobody else in this market will.
Hauling it yourself instead? What North County 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.

Jackson questions
Is there a travel fee for Jackson?
Yes, and it is a flat $230. Jackson is about 54 minutes from our Lodi yard, which puts it in Foothill Zone 2. 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 Jackson 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.
How much to clean out a two-car garage?
Most two-car garages run $425 to $775 depending on how full. If it is packed floor to ceiling it is closer to a small estate cleanout — we will tell you that in the quote rather than at the end.
Can you take the paint?
No, and neither can any legitimate hauler — it is household hazardous waste. San Joaquin and Sacramento counties both run free HHW drop-off days and we will tell you the nearest one. We separate it out and leave it neatly stacked rather than leaving you to find it.
Do you take the old fridge in the garage?
Yes. $90 for the freon handling, which is what the certified recovery costs us.
How long does it take?
Two to four hours for most garages. A hoarding-level garage is a different job and we will scope it separately.
