Dominic does junk removal in Truckee, California, from Tahoe Donner and Glenshire down to Donner Lake and downtown Truckee. Text a photo to (775) 316-7470 of whatever is filling the garage or the loft. The town's own plan also lists neighborhoods like Prosser Lakeview, Olympic Heights and Ponderosa Palisades, and he takes jobs in all of them. Houses here have a median build year of 1989, which gives a Tahoe Donner garage or a Glenshire loft more than three decades to fill. And about 27 percent of households rent, which means move-outs and turnovers where a whole unit needs emptying before the next lease.

For a small household pickup, check the town's Bulky Item Pickups program first. A load still up in the loft or spread through a whole garage is the kind he carries out. When a cleared slope or a big brush pile is more than the town's yard waste carts can hold, that's a yard debris removal job. The town's landfill page points to the Eastern Regional Landfill Material Recovery Facility on Cabin Creek Road and also lists Lockwood Landfill in Nevada. His loads go to Goodwill first for the good stuff, a scrap yard for metal, and the Carson City or Stead landfill for the rest.

Truckee is part of his usual run out of Reno, the same one that reaches junk removal in Kings Beach. He picks up at any hour Monday through Saturday, and the arrival window on a Truckee job runs 30 minutes to an hour. Nothing has to be at the curb. In a home built around 1989, the job is often a loft or a garage packed full, and he brings it down and out himself. After the trailer is loaded, he sweeps out the loft or garage and you check it over together.

How Bulky Item Pickups works

  • Residents get two bulky item pickups each year.
  • Multi-family residents in buildings of 5 or more units get one bulky item pickup per year.
  • A bulky item must be under 200 pounds.
  • Bulky items may include household furniture and e-waste, like a couch, TV or fridge.
  • Call the town's hauler to schedule a pickup.
  • Refrigerators have their own instructions on the Town's site.

“I had a great experience with Dominic and Reno Junk Removal. Professional, reasonably priced, on time, same day service. My garage was filled with old toxic chemicals from the swimming pool and cans of paint that needed to be properly disposed of. What a relief it was to watch the mess disappear and to know it was not going to have a negative impact on the environment by just going into a landfill. Highly recommended!”

“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.”

“Can’t say enough good things about Reno Junk Removal. Dom is very professional and responsive. He and Tyler came to my house the same day and picked up and hauled off a quarter of a garage worth of cardboard. The amount of time they saved me from trip after trip of taking it all to the dump was well worth the reasonable price. I highly recommend Reno Junk Removal.”

Questions

Questions about junk removal in Truckee.

Can Truckee's yard waste carts handle a big pile of branches?
Not always. Each home gets up to three yard waste carts, picked up every other week from May through November, and only yard trimmings like pine needles, pine cones, branches and grass clippings go in, with no bags. Past what the carts hold, text a photo to (775) 316-7470 for a price.
How much does junk removal in Truckee cost?
$80 is the least it costs. Past that, the price follows how much of the trailer the load fills, and the breakdown of how loads are priced explains it. Send a picture of the pile and the quote covers the whole job, dump fees in it, and it holds as long as the job is no bigger than the photo showed.
How soon can you get a Truckee job done?
Same day, most days. He works Monday through Saturday and is closed Sunday.
Is there anything that can't go from a Truckee home?
Yes. A propane tank won't go on the trailer, and neither will asbestos, medical or biohazard waste, or anything with bed bugs or other pests.
Can a junk pile wait outside a Truckee home until it gets hauled?
No. Truckee's code says solid waste has to be kept in cans, carts, bins or bear sheds, not strewn on the ground. Anything that can't go in those has to leave the property.
