Foreclosure & REO Trash-Outs in Modesto
Curbside bulky-item pickup in Modesto is limited to two appointments a year per household, so garage, move-out and estate accumulation routinely outruns the city calendar — especially in the older blocks around the College Area, Graceada Park and La Loma.
Whatever Modesto throws at us — all interior debris and abandoned personal property, appliances left behind, carpet, padding and damaged flooring and exterior debris, yard waste and overgrowth debris — 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. Photo-documented to servicer standard. Net-30 available for volume accounts.
We do not do the "starting at" quote over the phone, followed by a bigger number once the crew is already parked in your driveway and saying no feels awkward. That switch is common enough in this trade that it is the reason a lot of people put off calling anyone.
What we take
- All interior debris and abandoned personal property
- Appliances left behind
- Carpet, padding and damaged flooring
- Exterior debris, yard waste and overgrowth debris
- Garage and outbuilding contents
- Abandoned vehicles coordinated separately
What we can't
- We do not remove anything before the legal hold period is satisfied — tell us the date and we work to it
- Hazardous waste is bid separately with a licensed handler
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.
Foreclosure & REO Trash-Outs pricing in Modesto
$650 – $2,400
Per property. Line-itemed bid, same business day. Modesto properties sit toward the middle of that range on average, but square footage and how full the property is matter far more than which city it is in.
How much trash-outs cost in Modesto
$650 – $2,400
Per property. Line-itemed bid, same business day. What moves the bid on a property in Modesto is square footage, how full each room is, and how much has to be sorted rather than thrown. Disposal is a smaller part of it than people expect.
The cost underneath every Modesto job is the gate. Modesto loads tip at Gilton Resource Recovery in Modesto: $82.50 a ton, rate effective 2026-07-01, $50.00 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. Modesto loads have to stay in Stanislaus County under the city's export-agreement rule (MMC 5-5.130(i)(8)), so they cannot be run to a cheaper San Joaquin gate.
Worked example: the disposal line on a 2-ton job
Illustrative, not a real job. Say a property in Modesto produces 2 tons after donation and recycling come out.
| 2 tons at Gilton Resource Recovery | $165.00 $82.50 × 2 t |
| The same 2 tons at Foothill Sanitary Landfill | $81.28 |
| Share of a bid at the $650 floor | 25% |
That fee is inside the fixed bid; you never see a separate disposal line. Anything the walkthrough missed comes off the rate card — a refrigerator and two mattresses found in the garage would add $180.
Doing it yourself in Modesto
The cheapest real version is our trailer. 1 day and 2 tons in Modesto runs:
| Dump trailer, drop-off + pickup (1 day) | $275 |
| Disposal beyond first ton (1 ton) | $125 |
| Travel beyond 25 min (15 min) | $38 |
| Trailer total | $438 |
With your own truck instead, the same 2 tons is $165.00 in gate fees at Gilton Resource Recovery, over however many trips it takes, plus the truck and fuel. Gilton Resource Recovery is open Sundays, hours Mon-Fri 7:30a-4p; Sat-Sun 7a-4:30p, and does not take cash, so bring a card.
The honest read: For a landlord clearing one unit, a trailer and a Saturday can make sense. For a servicer it rarely does, because the deliverable is the photo package and the weight tickets, not just an empty house.

Where your Modesto junk actually goes
Most of what leaves a Modesto job goes to Gilton Resource Recovery in Modesto, at a posted gate rate of $82.50 per ton as of 2026-07-01. Gilton Resource Recovery is open seven days a week, which is why we can run Modesto jobs on a Sunday when almost nobody else in this market will.
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.

Modesto questions
How fast can you get to Modesto?
Modesto 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 Modesto job go?
Gilton Resource Recovery in Modesto, currently $82.50 per ton as of 2026-07-01. 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 trash-outs cost in Modesto?
$650 to $2,400, as a fixed bid after a walkthrough. The disposal inside that price goes to Gilton Resource Recovery at $82.50 a ton (effective 2026-07-01). The cost section above has a worked example and what it costs to haul it yourself.
Can you do volume?
Yes. We price volume accounts on a per-property schedule rather than bidding each one, which is faster for both of us. Net-30 available once we have run a few together.
What does the photo documentation look like?
Timestamped before, during and after sets, room by room and elevation by elevation, delivered as a single PDF the day the job closes. Formatted to drop straight into a servicer portal.
How fast can you turn a property?
Standard turn is 48 hours from bid acceptance. Most single-family trash-outs are a one-day job.
Do you handle the personal property hold period?
We follow whatever the notice period requires and will inventory and store rather than dispose if you need us to. Tell us which one applies and we document to that standard.
