Dominic does junk removal in South Lake Tahoe, from Tahoe Keys to Bijou and Al Tahoe. Text a photo to (775) 316-7470. About 49 percent of households in town rent, so if you own a rental here, the stuff a tenant leaves behind is worth planning for. When a renter moves out and leaves a mess, an eviction and rental property cleanout gets the rooms back to bare floor before anyone else signs. The homes are older too. The median one was built in 1973, and five decades of living fills a garage.

City code treats a pile of junk, scrap or trash on private property as a nuisance when neighbors or people on the street can see it. So a heap of scrap by the fence is better gone sooner. The city says trash goes to the curb only after 6:00 am on pickup morning, to keep bears out of it. Nothing on his jobs has to sit at the curb. He carries it out from wherever it sits, even from under the deck.

The trip from Reno to South Lake Tahoe sits inside the 75 miles he drives for a job, and he takes jobs next door in Stateline on the same kind of trip. Jake comes along as his helper. Before anything gets lifted, he explains the work. Once the garage or spare room is empty, he sweeps up the spot the load left and walks the place with you before the trailer pulls out.

El Dorado County takes household hazardous waste at the transfer station at 2140 Ruth Avenue, by appointment only, and that matters here because hazardous waste stays off his trailer. If you'd rather drop off old electronics yourself, the same site is a county drop-off for electronic devices. His own loads go another way, with good furniture headed to Goodwill first and the real trash to the Carson City or Stead landfill.

“Dom is professional and honest. He hauled all our tree branches and more for a reasonable price. His fees are more than fair - got the job done way under another quote. Left the area completely clean, too.”

“Dominic’s service was top tier. Within an hour of calling him, he was at my house and ready to haul off the multitudes of junk including the rusty spool of wire left by previous owners, saving our puppy from an inevitable tetanus shot. They can’t be beat on price and they also provide services like snow removal and holiday light decorating. My husband is already looking in to their Christmas lights service. You can’t go wrong hiring these efficient professionals.”

Questions

Questions about junk removal in South Lake Tahoe.

Can a junk pile in my South Lake Tahoe yard be a problem with the city?
Yes, it can. City code calls a pile of trash, scrap or junk parts on private property a nuisance when neighbors or people passing on the street can see it. Dominic loads the heap right where it lies, so it leaves the property instead of just moving out front.
How much does junk removal cost in South Lake Tahoe?
The minimum is $80, and the rest depends on how much of the truck your load fills. Your photo sets the quote, which takes in the lifting, the drive from Reno and the dump fees, and it holds as long as the job is no bigger than the photo showed. There's more on how a load's size sets its price.
How soon can a South Lake Tahoe job get done?
Same day, most days. He takes jobs at any hour from Monday to Saturday, never on Sunday, and you get a 30 minute to one hour window for when the trailer pulls up.
What can't go on the trailer from a South Lake Tahoe home?
A propane tank can't ride along, and neither can asbestos, medical or biohazard waste, or a couch carrying bed bugs or other pests. For household hazardous waste, the county's Ruth Avenue transfer station takes it by appointment only.
Where can I drop off old electronics in South Lake Tahoe?
The refuse facility at 2140 Ruth Avenue is one of two county e-waste drop-off locations. Electronic waste removal and disposal is on his list of services too, if you would rather not haul it yourself.
