Copperopolis pricing
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 |

Copperopolis travel fee: $125 per job. Copperopolis is about 50 miles from our Lockeford yard. On foothill jobs the first 25 miles are free, then $5 a mile, one way, rounded to the nearest $5, so full-service jobs here add $125 to the prices above. It pays for the diesel and the crew's time on the road, and it is never discounted or added after the fact. How the travel fee works.
Senior and veteran pricing is 10% off and applied automatically — you should not have to ask for it twice.
Where your Copperopolis junk actually goes
Most of what leaves a Copperopolis 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 Copperopolis jobs on a Sunday when almost nobody else in this market will.
Hauling it yourself instead? The North County 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 $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.
