Hoarding Cleanup in Auburn
Gold was found in the Auburn Ravine in May 1848, and Auburn has been the Placer County seat since 1851. It is one of the older towns we serve: about 32% of its homes were built before 1960, and 14% in 1939 or earlier.
Auburn was chosen as the seat of Placer County in 1851.
Auburn sits about 800 vertical feet above the confluence of the North Fork and Middle Fork of the American River.
About 6,446 homes. 21% built in the 1980s, 15% in the 1990s, 12% in the 1970s, 12% in the 1950s; about 32% before 1960, including 14% built in 1939 or earlier.
Whatever Auburn throws at us — full contents of a heavily accumulated property, spoiled food and rotted material, damaged furniture and flooring and animal waste and affected material (bid separately) — 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. Discreet, unmarked arrival available. We go at the pace the family can handle.
There is no soft number on the phone that turns into a harder one once our crew is standing in front of your house. That trick is old and it is well known, and it is a big part of why people dread this call in the first place.
What we take
- Full contents of a heavily accumulated property
- Spoiled food and rotted material
- Damaged furniture and flooring
- Animal waste and affected material (bid separately)
- Documents — sorted and set aside, not dumped
What we can't
- Sharps and medical waste without a licensed partner — we bring one in
- Structural repair — we clear, we do not rebuild
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.
Hoarding Cleanup pricing in Auburn
$2,200 – $12,000
Fixed written price after a discreet walkthrough. Auburn 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.
Auburn 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 Auburn junk actually goes
Most of what leaves a Auburn 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 Auburn 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.

Auburn questions
Is there a travel fee for Auburn?
Yes, and it is a flat $385. Auburn is about 80 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 Auburn 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.
Will the neighbors know?
Not from us. We can arrive in an unmarked vehicle, work with the garage door down, and stage loads out of sight. Say the word when you book.
My parent is still living there and does not want this.
Then we go at their pace, not ours. We have done multi-visit cleanouts where the first day is one room. Forcing it does not work and it damages the relationship. Tell us the situation honestly and we will build the plan around it.
There is a code enforcement deadline.
Tell us the date and the case number. We have worked against county abatement deadlines before and we will give you a completion package with dated photos that satisfies most inspectors.
How much does hoarding cleanup cost?
$2,200 to $12,000 depending on the property and the severity. It is priced from a walkthrough, fixed in writing, and we would rather overscope it and come in under than the reverse.
