Thanks, Serge, for the quick, professional, and reasonably priced service. Will use you again - highly recommend!
Overview
Wide lots off Fair Oaks Boulevard, detached garages and thirty years of a parent's things: we clear it in one visit, with the price settled before we lift.
The detached garage behind a ranch house near Carmichael Park has not held a car since the kids were small. The shed by the back fence holds paint cans, a dead mower and a bike nobody rides. Now the house is being sold, or a parent is moving to assisted living, and all of it has to go. That is the Carmichael call we know best.

Your Local Carmichael Junk Removal Team
Carmichael lots are wide, the driveways are long and the houses are older, so the jobs run bigger than in the newer suburbs. We bring enough truck to finish in one visit, from the streets around Fair Oaks Boulevard to the river-close lots by Ancil Hoffman Park. What we haul here most:
- Furniture and mattress removal, in any condition
- Appliance haul-away, plus a few electronics
- Garage, attic and shed cleanouts
- Estate, foreclosure and eviction cleanouts
- Yard waste: storm limbs, dead landscaping, old fencing
- Hot tub ($300 to $600 and up), piano and large-item removal
The Carmichael Jobs We See Most
Three jobs fill most of our Carmichael days. Detached garages and backyard workshops with thirty years of tools, lumber and half-used cans. Green waste from mature landscaping, more than the county's green cart can take after a storm. And whole homes emptied by families settling a parent's estate in Arden Park and Del Dayo, where one family's things have been in the house since it was built.
“We had a large tree fall in a recent storm. We did a Google search and contacted a few companies including TCJ Hauling for quotes to remove a large trailer load of branches. TCJ came right out and took care of it.”
Lorie, Google“Serge was very responsive and replied to my request for a quote quickly. He was very reasonably priced, showed up on time, and did exactly what was asked. I would recommend Serge for anyone needing to get rid of an old shed or to have junk removed.”
Alex Nera, Google“Serge helped us get rid of our old junk around our house before moving and demo’d our shed. He was fast, clean and very professional.”
Michael Hartigan, GoogleHow Our Junk Removal Works in Carmichael
Text a photo of the garage or the pile to (916) 770-7619. We send a price back, confirm it at the door, and carry everything out from where it sits, including the back of the shed and the rafters. Then we sweep. Clean furniture goes to a Sacramento-area charity when we can, metal to a scrap recycler, and the rest to the transfer station. Carmichael, Fair Oaks, Arden-Arcade and Citrus Heights are close enough that a morning text is usually an afternoon pickup.
Upfront, Volume-Based Pricing in Carmichael
You pay for the share of the truck your junk fills, with no travel charge in Carmichael and no dump fee added later:
| Load | Typical price | What that looks like |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum load | $99 to $150 | A couch, a mower or one dead fridge |
| Quarter truck | $180 to $280 | The shed: tools, lumber, patio chairs |
| Half truck | $320 to $480 | A packed detached garage |
| Full truck | $850 to $1,000 | A whole house for an estate |
Real weight (concrete, dirt, solid wood) and a long carry can nudge the number, and we say so on the phone. We are licensed and insured, nobody on the crew expects a tip, and booking online takes $20 off.
When the County Can Do It for Free
Carmichael is unincorporated, so Sacramento County runs your trash service. County customers get a set number of free bulky-waste pickups a year, booked ahead, with limits on items and volume and nothing hazardous. That is fine for one couch you can carry to the curb. With a truck and a tarp you can self-haul to Kiefer Landfill or the North Area Recovery Station and pay by weight, and the North Area Recovery Station takes household hazardous waste free. The paint, solvents and motor oil from that shed go there, not on our truck. Everything the county will not take, or you cannot carry, is what we are for. The details are in our Carmichael dumping regulations guide.
Carmichael Realtors, Estates and Pricing
A lot of our Carmichael work comes from agents. A bank-owned home cannot be shown until it is empty, an inherited house in Arden Park holds decades of belongings, and buyers notice a packed garage before they notice the kitchen. We clear the interior, garage, shed and yard in one visit, leave it swept and photo-ready, and work from a lockbox code with no agent on site. When photos or an open house are days away, same-day service is usually possible.
Pricing is the same volume table above, no travel surcharge; the pricing guide has the full tiers. Related: real estate junk removal, foreclosure cleanouts, estate cleanouts, residential junk removal and commercial junk removal.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you handle large yard-waste and shed cleanouts in Carmichael?
Yes. Mature trees and big lots make more green waste than a cart holds, so we take storm limbs, dead shrubs and old fencing by the trailer load. Sheds come down to the slab; a 16-by-13 shed is a one-day job.
Can you handle a full detached-garage or workshop cleanout in Carmichael?
Yes, it is our most common Carmichael job. A packed two-car garage usually runs a half to a full truck, $320 to $1,000, and we sweep the slab before we leave. Set aside the tools you are keeping and point at the rest.
What items can you take in Carmichael?
Furniture, mattresses, appliances, a few electronics, yard waste, hot tubs, pianos and whole garages or estates. Not paint, chemicals, solvents or asbestos: the North Area Recovery Station takes household hazardous waste from county residents free.
How does pricing work?
By truck volume. A minimum load is $99 to $150, a quarter truck $180 to $280, a half truck $320 to $480 and a full truck $850 to $1,000. The number is confirmed before we start.
Do you donate and recycle?
When we can. Clean furniture and working appliances go to Sacramento-area charities and metal to a scrap recycler. Charities refuse stained or broken pieces, so we do not promise it on a specific item.
Do you serve businesses as well as homes in Carmichael?
Yes. Office and retail cleanouts along Fair Oaks Boulevard, including furniture removal, are usually scheduled after hours so the business stays open.

Serge was awesome to work with. I am very grateful I found his company. I contacted them on a Tuesday and by Wednesday the hot tub was gone. He was on time and worked hard. Left the area cleaned up and I’m so excited to have my backyard back!
