Junk Removal in El Dorado Hills
El Dorado Hills started in the early 1960s as Allan Lindsey's master-planned community and has had its own services district since 1962. It is young housing: 35% of its homes were built in the 2000s and only about 4% before 1970.
The El Dorado Hills Community Services District was formed on May 21, 1962, by County Board of Supervisors Resolution No. 98-62.
Household e-waste can be dropped off at the El Dorado Hills recycling center, 4421 Latrobe Road, Tuesday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
About 18,791 homes. 35% built in the 2000s, 20% in the 1990s, 17% in the 2010s; about 4% before 1970.
Whatever El Dorado Hills throws at us — furniture, mattresses and box springs, appliances, including refrigerators and freezers, electronics and tvs and garage and shed contents — 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. Upfront price before we touch anything. Same-day and next-day slots most weeks.
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
- Furniture, mattresses and box springs
- Appliances, including refrigerators and freezers
- Electronics and TVs
- Garage and shed contents
- Yard waste, branches and green waste
- Scrap metal and bikes
- Boxes, bags and general household clutter
- Carpet, padding and flooring tear-out
- Exercise equipment and pianos
- Playsets, trampolines and above-ground pools
What we can't
- Paint, solvents, motor oil and household hazardous waste
- Asbestos and anything containing it
- Medical or biohazard waste
- Ammunition and explosives
- Fuel, propane tanks and batteries (we can advise on disposal)
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.
Junk Removal prices in El Dorado Hills
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 |

El Dorado Hills travel fee: $310 per job. El Dorado Hills is about 69 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 El Dorado Hills junk actually goes
Most of what leaves a El Dorado Hills 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 El Dorado Hills jobs on a Sunday when almost nobody else in this market will.
Hauling it yourself instead? Here are Kiefer Landfill hours and fees, plus what it turns away.
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.

El Dorado Hills questions
Is there a travel fee for El Dorado Hills?
Yes, and it is a flat $310. El Dorado Hills is about 69 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 El Dorado Hills 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.
Do you serve unincorporated El Dorado Hills?
El Dorado Hills is unincorporated El Dorado County, and yes — rural parcels, outbuildings, barns and deep lots are a large part of what we do out here. Long driveways and no curb access are not a problem; we bring the trailer to the pile.
How much does junk removal cost?
We price by volume — how much of the trailer your load fills. A single-item pickup starts at $200, which is also our job minimum. A quarter load is about $275, a half load about $425, and a fully loaded trailer with side extensions runs $775. You get the number before we start, and it does not change unless you add to the pile.
Do I have to be home?
No. A lot of our jobs are for people who live out of the area. We can work from a lockbox or a neighbor, send before-and-after photos, and take payment remotely.
Can you come today?
Often yes. We hold same-day slots most weeks. Same-day carries a $75 priority fee — we will tell you that before you commit, not after.
Do you take mattresses and refrigerators?
Yes to both. Refrigerators and freezers carry a $90 freon-handling fee because the refrigerant has to be recovered by a certified handler. Mattresses are $45 each.
What happens to my stuff?
Anything usable goes to donation. Metal, cardboard, e-waste and green waste get diverted. The rest goes to a permitted landfill — we keep the weight tickets and will show them to you if you want them.
