Dominic does junk removal in Tahoe City, from Dollar Point and Lake Forest to Sunnyside. Text a photo to (775) 316-7470. He replies with a price. If your place is near downtown, say where the truck can pull in when you send the photo. Out in Lake Forest or Dollar Point, a note about the driveway or the stairs helps him plan the load.

Placer County's hauler runs a bulky item curbside pickup, and it's worth a look first. For a load that program doesn't cover, send him the photo instead. Garbage from eastern Placer County is sorted at a regional Materials Recovery Facility, and what can't be recycled goes to Lockwood Landfill in Nevada. His loads take a different road. What can be donated goes to Goodwill first, metal goes to a scrap yard, and the real trash ends up at the Carson City landfill or the Stead landfill. For old tires you are getting rid of on your own, the county says waste tires go to landfills and solid waste facilities or to a registered waste tire hauler.

Once you approve the price, he sets a day and time. For a downtown job, the truck pulls in where you said it could. In a Lake Forest, Dollar Point or Sunnyside home, he and his helper Jake carry the load out of the house, whatever the stairs or the driveway look like, so you don't have to drag anything to the curb. When the load is out, he cleans up the spot and walks through it with you.

A few things stay off his truck, and the questions below list them. For anything hazardous, the Eastern Regional Materials Recovery Facility in Truckee is the place to ask. Trees are a different job. When a small tree on your lot has to come down, small tree removal is on his list, and the limbs and trunk leave with him. If the pile also has old furniture from the garage, it can all go on one load. Put all of it in the same photo.

How Bulky item curbside pickup works

  • Each household with residential garbage service gets two bulky item pickups a year.
  • One item per pickup, up to 200 pounds.
  • Accepted items include household tables, chairs, couches, barbecues, refrigerators and freezers, mattresses and rugs.
  • Put the item at the curb by 6 a.m. on the scheduled collection day.
  • Oddly shaped or oversized items such as large ladders and inflatables may need to be broken down before collection.
  • You must be a residential customer in Placer County with active service and an account in good standing.
  • Pickups are scheduled with the county's hauler.
  • Weekly trash service is for household waste and does not include hazardous waste, construction debris, medical waste or liquid waste.
  • More than six bags or cans of household trash, such as extra trash, green waste or appliances, must be scheduled with the hauler for pickup.

“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 Tahoe City.

Can junk sit outside on a Tahoe City lot?
Not much of it. Placer County's zoning code keeps stored junk out of the front setback and caps how high it can be stacked. When a pile by the garage has grown past that, a house and garage cleanout takes it off the lot.
How much does junk removal in Tahoe City cost?
Jobs start at $80, and the price from your photo is set by how much room the load takes on the truck, with loading, hauling and dump fees inside it. The quote holds unless the job turns out bigger than the photo showed, and a load of pine needles and limbs from a Lake Forest lot is priced the same way. The junk removal pricing guide walks through how he charges.
How soon can a Tahoe City job get done?
Same day, most days. For a Sunnyside or Dollar Point job, put the driveway or the stairs in the photo text so the time he sets fits the load. Once a day is set, he gives you a 30 minute to one hour arrival window, and Sunday is off.
What won't go on the truck from a Tahoe City home?
He turns down propane tanks, asbestos, medical or biohazard waste, and anything carrying bed bugs or other pests. Other hazardous waste is a question for the Eastern Regional Materials Recovery Facility in Truckee. The guide to what goes on the truck covers the rest.
