Garage Cleanouts in Lathrop
River Islands alone is adding thousands of homes, and new construction plus first-wave move-ins produce a steady stream of packaging, remodel and landscape debris.
Whatever Lathrop throws at us — boxes, bins and bags of stored contents, broken and outdated furniture, exercise equipment and bikes and old paint (we tell you where it goes — we cannot take it) — the job runs the same way.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.
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
- 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- Broken and outdated furniture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.

Where your Lathrop junk actually goes
Most of what leaves a Lathrop 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 Lathrop jobs on a Sunday when almost nobody else in this market will.
Hauling it yourself instead? Read our Lovelace self-haul page first: hours, the resident free limits, and what gets refused.
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.

Lathrop questions
How fast can you get to Lathrop?
Lathrop is about 33 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 Lathrop 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.
How much to clean out a two-car garage?
Most two-car garages run $375 to $895 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.
