Junk Removal in Lodi
Zinfandel country. The Heritage District and the pre-war blocks off Church and Lee are full of houses that have been in one family since the 1950s — which is exactly where estate cleanouts and forty-year garages come from.
Whatever Lodi 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.

What junk removal costs in Lodi
$125 – $895
$125 for one item in Lodi, $895 for a full 14-yard trailer, and $225 for a quarter, $375 for a half and $525 for a three-quarter load in between. Lodi is where the trailer lives, so there is no drive to price in.
The cost underneath every Lodi job is the gate. Lodi loads tip at North County Landfill in Lodi: $60.93 a ton, rate effective 2026-01-01, $32.50 minimum per visit. The lowest posted rate in either county is Foothill Sanitary Landfill in Linden, $40.64 a ton, but the county lists it as closed to the general public, so it is not a gate anyone can plan a load around.
A Lodi-only catch for anyone hauling their own load: WM Lodi Transfer Station on 1333 E. Turner Rd is also in town, but its posted rate is $107.76 a ton (effective 2024-08-15, before WM's weekly-variable energy surcharge and 14.50% waste water charge), plus $72.29 per mattress and $86.14 per refrigerant appliance. It does not take construction debris. The closer gate is not the cheaper one.
Worked example: garage corner plus the old fridge, $315
Boxes and a broken shelf unit from one side of a garage, and a refrigerator that still has refrigerant in it. Illustrative, not a real customer — the total below is what our price calculator returns for it.
| Quarter load | $225 |
| Refrigerator or freezer | $90 |
| Total, in writing before we start | $315 |
About 0.35 ton of that load crosses the North County Landfill scale, about $21.33 of gate fee at $60.93 a ton. It is already inside the $315.
Hauling the same load yourself from Lodi
| North County Landfill, about 0.35 ton | $32.50 $32.50 gate minimum |
| Refrigerator with refrigerant, gate item fee | $20.00 |
| Gate fees, before your truck and fuel | $52.50 |
North County Landfill is open Sundays, hours Mon-Sun 7a-4p (strictly enforced), and does not take cash, so bring a card. The middle option is our trailer: you load it, we haul it. One day with the first ton included comes to $275 in Lodi, with free delivery inside 25 minutes of our yard.
The honest read: If you already own a truck and have a free afternoon, hauling a small load yourself is cheaper, and we would rather say so. What the difference buys is the loading, the drive and the wait at the scale.

Where your Lodi junk actually goes
Most of what leaves a Lodi 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 Lodi jobs on a Sunday when almost nobody else in this market will.
Hauling it yourself instead? Here are North County 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 $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.

Lodi questions
How fast can you get to Lodi?
Lodi is about right where we are based, 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 Lodi 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 does junk removal cost in Lodi?
$125 for one item up to $895 for a full trailer. The disposal inside that price goes to North County Landfill at $60.93 a ton (effective 2026-01-01). The cost section above has a worked example and what it costs to haul it yourself.
How much does junk removal cost?
We price by volume — how much of the trailer your load fills. A single-item pickup starts at $125. A quarter load is about $225, a half load about $375, and a fully loaded trailer with side extensions runs $895. 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.
