Have a question before you book? Here are the answers we get asked most often. The fastest way to get a price is still to text a photo of what needs to go to 916-702-8686. We are open seven days a week, 8 AM to 6 PM.
Junk removal from $95; full dump truck load $695; priced by volume.
What items do you take?
We haul non-hazardous junk of almost every kind, including furniture, mattresses, appliances, TVs and electronics, yard debris, construction debris, trash, hot tubs, sheds, play sets, exercise equipment, grills, clothing, and general household clutter. We also do estate cleanouts, garage and shed cleanouts, and light demolition such as taking down a shed or hauling a disconnected hot tub. If you are not sure, text a photo to 916-702-8686 and we will tell you whether we can take it.
What items don’t you take?
We do not take hazardous materials. That includes automotive fluids, wet paints, poisons, fuels and oils, containers under pressure, chemical cleaners, biohazards, and any other hazardous items. We also cannot take items in a location that is unsafe to reach, or items too heavy to lift safely. Please empty appliances of food, liquids, chemicals, and fuel before pickup. For a hot tub, please drain and disconnect it before we arrive.
How does your pricing work?
Junk removal is priced by volume: how much space your items take up in the truck. Prices start at $95, and a full dump truck load is $695. Jobs that fill part of the truck are priced between those two amounts, based on how much of the truck you fill. We do not add hidden fees to a quoted price. Text us a photo for a quick quote at 916-702-8686. Book online for $20 off a 1/4 load and up.
How do I get a quote?
The fastest way is to text a photo of what needs to go to 916-702-8686. We text back an upfront price, usually in minutes during our hours, 8 AM to 6 PM, seven days a week. You can also call 916-702-8686, or book through our online form and attach photos. Email is fine for a follow-up, but it is not an instant quote. For demolition or a large structure take-down, call us so we can discuss the scope.
Do you offer same-day junk removal?
Yes. Same-day and next-day pickups are often available in Placer County, depending on the day’s schedule. Text or call 916-702-8686 as early as you can and we will give you the soonest window we can keep.
Are you open on weekends?
Yes. Full-service junk removal is available seven days a week, 8 AM to 6 PM, including Saturday and Sunday. If you reach us outside those hours, text a photo or leave a message and we will get back to you when we open.
Do you donate or recycle what you haul?
Yes. We donate usable items to local charities — furniture, clothing, and household goods when we can place them — and we recycle whatever we can, including metal, appliances, TVs, wood, and cardboard. That keeps a lot of what we haul out of the landfill.
Do you handle estate cleanouts?
Yes. We do estate and downsizing cleanouts across Placer County, including homes in communities such as Sun City Lincoln Hills and family homes in Auburn, Loomis, Roseville, and nearby towns. We can work through a house, garage, and yard, haul what needs to go, and leave the space broom-clean. Text photos to 916-702-8686 for a volume-based price, or call to talk through a larger cleanout.
Do you handle hoarding cleanouts?
Yes. We do compassionate, judgment-free hoarding cleanouts across Placer County, and we were the junk removal crew on A&E’s Hoarders: Coming Clean. We sort keep, donate, and toss with you, haul everything, and leave the space broom-swept. Text photos to 916-702-8686 for a free quote.
Do you do demolition?
We offer light demolition and structure take-down, licensed and insured, such as sheds, play sets, decks, hot tubs, and other small structures, then we haul the materials away and clean up the site. If a job is larger than light demolition, we will tell you honestly. For demolition work, call 916-702-8686 so we can review photos or visit the site and give you a no-obligation quote.
Which cities do you serve?

Are you insured?
Yes. Junk Responders is licensed and insured.
Do I need to be home for the pickup?
For full-service junk removal, someone should be there to show us what goes, unless we have already agreed on the exact pile from your photos. Full-service junk removal is available seven days a week, 8 AM to 6 PM.
What are your hours, and what is the best phone number?
Full-service junk removal is available seven days a week, 8 AM to 6 PM. The number to text or call is 916-702-8686. That is the best way to get a price: send a photo of what needs to go, and we will reply with an upfront quote.
Can I lower my price?
Pricing is based on how much space your items take up in the truck. Text us a photo for a quick quote at 916-702-8686.
Do you offer a military or first responder discount?
