Junk Removal in Rancho Murieta
Rancho Murieta is a guard-gated, master-planned community on Highway 16 with its own services district — formed in 1982 — handling water, security and trash. The first homes went in beside Laguna Joaquin in 1973, and most of the rest in the 1980s and 1990s.
The first Rancho Murieta homes were built next to Laguna Joaquin in 1973; the North golf course opened in 1971 and the South in 1979.
Rancho Murieta is a guard-gated community about 25 miles east of Sacramento, connected to the metro area by State Route 16 (Jackson Road).
About 2,516 homes. 34% built in the 1980s, 26% in the 1990s, 17% in the 2000s; none before 1960.
Whatever Rancho Murieta 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.
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
- 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.

Where your Rancho Murieta junk actually goes
Most of what leaves a Rancho Murieta 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 Rancho Murieta jobs on a Sunday when almost nobody else in this market will.
Hauling it yourself instead? The Kiefer Landfill rules for self-haulers cover hours, payment and every posted fee.
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.

Rancho Murieta questions
How fast can you get to Rancho Murieta?
Rancho Murieta is about 40 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 Rancho Murieta 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 Rancho Murieta?
Rancho Murieta is unincorporated Sacramento 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 $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.
