Thanks, Serge, for the quick, professional, and reasonably priced service. Will use you again - highly recommend!
Overview
Three-car garages in El Dorado Hills, hangars in Cameron Park, cabins past Placerville. Same-day junk removal into the foothills with upfront pricing, gate codes and long driveways included.
The second home above Placerville has not been opened since last fall, and the family is done with it. A garage of tools nobody wants, two bedrooms of furniture, a deck's worth of patio chairs and the branches that came down in the winter storms. One long day, one full truck, and the keys go to the realtor. That is the El Dorado County job in its biggest form; most are smaller, but the shape is the same.

Junk Removal Across El Dorado County
El Dorado County climbs from the valley edge into the Sierra foothills, and the houses climb with it. Master-planned streets around El Dorado Hills Town Center, larger lots up toward Serrano, wooded parcels with long driveways and gated entries beyond Cameron Park. The jobs here run bigger than in Sacramento: three-car garages that became storage, finished basements and bonus rooms full of furniture nobody has sat on in years, post-remodel piles, and whole-property cleanouts when a family moves or downsizes.
El Dorado Hills anchors our runs out Highway 50. Just east, Cameron Park adds the neighborhoods off Cambridge Road and the Cameron Airpark, where the lots are big enough for sheds, outbuildings and the occasional hangar cleanout. Past that we reach Placerville, Diamond Springs and Shingle Springs on the same trips. Mention gate codes, the length of the driveway and whether the truck can get close when you book; it changes nothing about whether we come, only how we plan it.
The foothills also bring seasonal work: storm limbs after a wet winter, cabins and second homes emptied before a sale, and the slow accumulation that comes with a wooded acre.
Cities & Communities We Serve in El Dorado County
Each city page has its own examples and pricing:
Planned foothill communities with big garages and bonus rooms. Post-remodel cleanouts, home-gym clears, hot tubs in below-grade backyards, and full-property cleanouts before a listing.
Foothill neighborhoods and the Cameron Airpark, where larger lots mean big garages, shed teardowns and the occasional hangar cleanout.
Full-Service Junk Removal Across El Dorado County
Wherever you are in the county, you get the same hauling and cleanout services we run in Sacramento. Here is what each one looks like in the foothills.
Residential Junk Removal
Most of our El Dorado County work is residential: a single old couch, a garage that became a catch-all, a whole home cleared before a move or a sale. Furniture, mattresses, appliances, exercise equipment, a few electronics and general clutter, from any room on any floor. You point; the two-person crew lifts.
Estate & Eviction Cleanouts
Clearing a full property is emotional and usually on a deadline. Executors, families downsizing a parent and landlords resetting a unit all get the same approach: we clear the whole house, set aside what you want kept, donate what a charity will take, and leave it broom-clean. We coordinate with realtors and attorneys when they are involved.
Appliance Removal
Refrigerators, washers, dryers and stoves cannot go in the trash in California, and neither can TVs and computers. Fridges and freezers go to a recycler where a certified technician recovers the refrigerant. A few electronics can ride along with a regular pickup; a large lot of e-waste should go straight to an e-waste recycler.
Furniture, Yard Waste & Remodel Leftovers
A lone recliner or a full living room, weathered patio furniture, fallen limbs, or the cabinets, fixtures and appliances a remodel leaves behind. Mixed demolition debris such as drywall is a job for a licensed C&D hauler or a dumpster; we take single-material loads only, meaning metal, concrete or clean wood.
Commercial & Property-Management Junk Removal
Offices around Town Center, retail and warehouse clears, and furniture removal scheduled around operating hours. Property managers get documented turnovers between tenants: one text, one price, photos of the empty unit.
Specialty & Large-Item Removal
Hot tubs and spas, pianos, pool tables, safes, playsets and sheds. Hot tubs are the big one out here; we drain, cut and carry them out in pieces, including from backyards that sit below the house with no truck access. A licensed electrician disconnects the circuit first; we do not do electrical work.
Who We Help Across El Dorado County
- Homeowners clearing garages, downsizing or getting a house ready to sell.
- Renters who need one couch, mattress or appliance gone without renting a truck.
- Landlords and property managers who need fast, documented turnovers.
- Real estate agents preparing listings and coordinating pre-sale or probate cleanouts.
- Businesses clearing offices, retail space, restaurants and warehouses.
- Contractors with a single-material load, metal only, concrete only or clean wood only, cleared between phases.
- Seniors and families managing a downsizing move or settling an estate.
The Items El Dorado County Customers Ask Us to Remove Most
- Hot tubs, pianos and pool tables. The three things nobody can move alone, and all three are common in larger foothill homes.
- Treadmills, weight sets and home gyms. Heavy, bolted together and usually in the bonus room upstairs.
- Couches, sectionals and recliners. Too big for a car and refused by charities once stained or torn.
- Refrigerators, washers, dryers and stoves. Appliances that need a recycler, not a landfill.
- Mattresses and box springs, which curbside pickup will not take.
- Yard waste, old fencing and sheds. The outdoor debris that piles up on an acre.
- Garage, attic and storage-unit clutter. Boxes, tools and years of someday projects.

What We Take: and What We Can't
If it is not hazardous and two people can carry it, we almost certainly take it. That covers furniture and mattresses, appliances, a few electronics, yard waste, hot tubs and pianos, and household or office clutter of every kind.
What we cannot haul is hazardous material: wet paint, motor oil, chemicals, solvents and asbestos, which the law routes to a licensed disposal or abatement facility. We also cannot take inert loads beyond the truck's weight limit, though a concrete-only load priced by weight is fine, and so is a little dirt alongside a regular load. If you are unsure about an item, ask when you book and we will tell you straight.
How Our Junk Removal Works in El Dorado County
Text photos of the pile and the path to the truck to (916) 770-7619, or book online, and we reply with a price and the earliest slot. On the day, the crew looks at the load, confirms the number and starts only when you say so. We carry everything out from any floor, protect the floors and door frames on the way, sweep the spot and sort the load in the truck. Usable pieces go to a Sacramento-area charity when we can, metal to a scrap recycler, the rest to the transfer station. We cannot promise donation on every load, and we say so rather than pretend.
Upfront, Volume-Based Pricing
You pay for the share of the truck your items fill, with foothill examples:
| Load | Typical price | What that looks like |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum load | $99 to $150 | One recliner, a dryer or a treadmill |
| Quarter truck | $180 to $280 | A hot tub cover, patio set and a few boxes |
| Half truck | $320 to $480 | A remodel's cabinets and appliances, or a full garage |
| Full truck | $850 to $1,000 | A whole house or a cabin, inside and out |
Hot tubs are quoted separately at $300 to $600 and up. Concrete and other dense loads are priced by weight. There are no hourly rates, no fuel surcharge and no dump fee added later; the number you hear before we lift is the number on the invoice. Book online and we take $20 off.
Renting a Dumpster vs. Full-Service Junk Removal
A roll-off looks cheaper until you add it up. You pay for delivery and pickup, you pay again if it is over weight, some neighborhoods need a permit to put one on the street, and it sits in the driveway for days while you do the loading. With us the labor is included: we load it, it leaves the same day, and the price is one number. For a single cleanout the gap is smaller than it looks, and you keep your weekend.
Same-Day & Weekend Availability in El Dorado County
A sale closes, a tenant leaves, or you finally have a free Saturday for the garage. We run same-day and next-day slots across most of the county, weekends included. The earlier you text in the morning, the better the odds of a same-day window, and next-day is almost always open.
What El Dorado County Customers Say
“He went above and beyond helping me get a home cleared out, in which the home was left to me by a relative who passed away. He was very thorough and sent pictures and checked in as he was completing the job.”
Moe Koll, Google“Great prompt communication, professional, punctual, and a very reasonable quote. These guys work hard and get the job done fast!”
Charlene P., Yelp“Serge was exceptional. Professional and friendly. $200 less than half my other quotes.”
Jacki Wiski, GoogleWhy El Dorado County Chooses Take Care Junk
One crew-led local company, not a franchise, based in West Sacramento since 2017 and licensed and insured. The owner still quotes and schedules the jobs, so the person who answers the phone is the person who answers for the work. Five stars across 255 Google reviews, and the pattern in them is the same three things: we show up when we said, the price does not move once we quote it, and the lifting is ours.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will you protect floors and finishes in a high-end El Dorado County home?
Yes. Floor protection on the carry path, slow corners and door frames, and a piece taken apart rather than forced through. These are finished homes and we treat them that way.
Do you reach the foothill towns beyond El Dorado Hills and Cameron Park?
Yes: Placerville, Diamond Springs and Shingle Springs are on the same Highway 50 runs. For a cabin up a long drive, tell us how close the truck can get and we plan the carry.
Can you handle gated communities and long driveways?
Yes. Send the gate code or guard instructions when you book. Long driveways only change how we park, not whether we come.
How much does junk removal in El Dorado County cost?
By truck space: $99 to $150 for a minimum load, $180 to $280 for a quarter truck, $320 to $480 for a half, and $850 to $1,000 for a full truck. Hot tubs are $300 to $600 and up. Confirmed before we start.
Do you offer same-day junk removal in El Dorado County?
Most weekdays, yes. Text photos to (916) 770-7619 early in the morning for the best odds of an afternoon slot; next-day is nearly always open.
Do you serve both homes and businesses in El Dorado County?
Yes. One couch or one appliance, office and retail cleanouts, and recurring property-management turnovers, all at the same volume-based prices.
What items can't you take?
Wet paint, chemicals, solvents, motor oil and asbestos; those need a licensed disposal or abatement handler. Once a property is clear of hazards, we take the rest.
Do you donate and recycle instead of landfilling everything?
When we can. Usable furniture and household goods go to Sacramento-area charities, metal and appliances to recyclers, the rest to the transfer station. Charities refuse stained, torn or broken pieces, so we never promise it on every load.
How quickly can you come out?
Often the same day, and almost always the next. The earlier you text, the better the window.
Do I need to be home for the pickup?
Not always. Many customers show us the items and leave, and for vacant homes a gate code or lockbox works; we send photos and take payment by phone.
How should I prepare for my appointment?
Nothing is required; we carry everything from where it sits. Gathering items in one spot makes the visit faster, and draining a hot tub the night before saves an hour.
What payment methods do you accept?
Major credit cards, cash and most digital payments, collected after the job is done. No deposit to book.
