Thanks, Serge, for the quick, professional, and reasonably priced service. Will use you again - highly recommend!
Overview
The wind took the fence and half the mulberry, and it is all lying in the yard, wet. We load it and haul it away; you do not stack a thing at the curb.
The storm passed overnight. By morning the back fence is flat, a limb the size of a car is across the lawn, and the boxes on the garage floor are soaked through. We load it and haul it in one trip, usually within a day or two of the call.

What we haul after a storm
This service is about removal: material that is already down and needs to go. The usual loads:
- Tree branches and limbs that have already come down
- Leaves, shrubs, hedge trimmings and other soaked yard debris
- Old or broken fencing: wood, chain link and vinyl
- Broken garden furniture, planters, patio umbrellas and décor
- Rotting deck boards, landscape timbers and old raised garden beds
- Water-damaged belongings from the garage: ruined boxes and furniture that sat too close to the floor
Hauling, not tree work
We are a junk and debris hauler, not an arborist. If a tree or large limb is still standing, hung up in another tree, or resting on a roof, a car or a structure, call a tree service first. Stay well away from downed power lines and report them to your utility.
Once the material is down and safe to move, we take it. Send photos when you book so we can confirm what we can carry.
How it works
- Send photos or describe the debris. Use the booking form or call. A picture of the pile is enough to quote.
- Get an upfront price. We price by how much of the truck the load fills. A quarter truck is $180 to $280; a half truck $320 to $480. See the pricing guide for the full table. The number is confirmed before any work starts.
- We load everything. The crew does the lifting and dragging, including from a soggy back lawn.
- We haul it away and rake up.
City of Sacramento pickup options for yard debris
If you are a City of Sacramento residential customer, the City has its own options and they are free. During Leaf Season (November through January), customers on public streets with a curb and gutter can pile excess yard waste in the street, as long as piles stay within five cubic yards and limbs are cut to 3 feet or less and no more than 4 inches thick. From February through October, the two free household junk pickup appointments accept yard waste within the same limb limits, kept separate from other junk. Sources: City Leaf Season and City Household Junk Pickup.
A hauler is the better fit when the pile is bigger than five cubic yards, or when you do not want to cut every limb to 3 feet and stack it at the street. Same if fence boards and ruined boxes are mixed in with the branches. And if your property is not on City service (apartments, private streets, gated communities, every city outside Sacramento), there is no City pickup at all.
For HOAs and property managers
Storms do not hit one property. We work with landscapers and property managers on yard waste hauling across several properties in one run. See commercial junk removal for how accounts work.
What storm cleanups look like in our reviews
“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 had a competitive price and was available the same day.”
Dylan Andert, Google“Timely response, great work, and prices. Would highly recommend! Serge came by on short notice and removed branches from 9 trees we had cut down, and some other trash from our property such as an old rug.”

Storm damage shows up in the garage too. Our garage cleanout service clears water-damaged boxes and belongings, and yard waste removal covers regular yard debris all year. For everything we haul in these months, see fall & winter junk removal.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you cut up fallen trees?
No. This service is for hauling debris that is already down and safe to move. If a tree or limb still needs cutting, or is resting on a roof, vehicle or power line, call a tree service or your utility first. Once it is on the ground, send photos.
Can you haul wet, heavy storm debris?
Yes. Soaked branches and leaves weigh far more than they look, which is why people call. The crew does all the loading.
How is storm debris removal priced?
By how much of the truck the load fills, same as our other hauling. A quarter truck is $180 to $280 and a half truck $320 to $480. We confirm the price from your photos before we start.
Will the City of Sacramento pick up storm debris?
For City residential customers, yes, within limits. Yard waste can go in the street during Leaf Season (November through January), or out for a household junk appointment from February through October. Limbs must be cut to 3 feet and piles kept under five cubic yards. Check the City's Leaf Season and Household Junk Pickup pages for the current rules.

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!

Messaged TCJ Hauling in need of getting rid of some junk that was accumulating in the garage. Not only was the company able to come the same day but were also very punctual and realiable which above all things mean the most me. The service was fast and the vehicle used was modern and able to accommodate for all the items I needed to be removed. Very Prosfessional and accommodating will definitely call them again and tell my friends and family to do the same. Thank you TCJ Hauling!
