Junk removal & cleanouts in
Linden, CA
Linden is cherry country on Highway 26, about thirteen miles east-northeast of Stockton, and it is where Foothill Sanitary Landfill sits, on North Waverly Road. That is the lowest posted gate rate in either county — but the county lists Foothill as closed to the general public, so a Linden self-hauler drives to Harney Lane instead.
- 12 services available in Linden.
- North County Landfill at $60.93/ton is where your load goes.

What we do in Linden
Every service below is priced the same way: a fixed written number before anyone drives out.
Linden 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 |

Where your Linden junk actually goes
Most of what leaves a Linden 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 Linden jobs on a Sunday when almost nobody else in this market will.
Hauling it yourself instead? Read our North County self-haul page first: hours, the resident free limits, and what gets refused.
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.

Linden questions
How fast can you get to Linden?
Linden is about 25 minutes from our Lockeford yard, 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 Linden 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.
Do you serve unincorporated Linden?
Linden is unincorporated San Joaquin 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.
