Garage Cleanouts in Rocklin
The Central Pacific named Rocklin for its granite quarry in 1864, and Secret Ravine granite went into the base course of the State Capitol. Most of its roughly 27,000 homes were built in the 1990s and 2000s.
Recology Auburn Placer provides residential garbage, recycling and yard waste collection in Rocklin.
Granite quarried at Secret Ravine in Rocklin was used in the base course of the California State Capitol.
About 26,993 homes. 28% built in the 2000s, 26% in the 1990s, 15% in the 2010s, 13% in the 1980s; about 2% before 1960.
Whatever Rocklin throws at us — boxes, bins and bags of stored contents, broken and outdated furniture, exercise equipment and bikes and old paint (we tell you where it goes — we cannot take it) — the job runs the same way.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- Broken and outdated furniture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.
Garage Cleanouts prices in Rocklin
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 |

Rocklin travel fee: $310 per job. Rocklin is about 67 minutes from our Lodi yard, past our standard area, so full-service jobs here add one flat $310 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 Rocklin junk actually goes
Most of what leaves a Rocklin job goes to Western Placer Waste Management Authority in Lincoln, at a posted gate rate of $109.25 per ton as of 2025-07-01. Western Placer Waste Management Authority is open seven days a week, which is why we can run Rocklin jobs on a Sunday when almost nobody else in this market will.
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.

Rocklin questions
Is there a travel fee for Rocklin?
Yes, and it is a flat $310. Rocklin is about 67 minutes from our Lodi yard, which puts it in Foothill Zone 3. 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 Rocklin job go?
Western Placer Waste Management Authority in Lincoln, currently $109.25 per ton as of 2025-07-01. 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.
