Dumpster Rental Alternative in Sacramento, CA

We don't rent dumpsters. We bring a dump trailer instead. Load it yourself from $395, or let our family-owned crew do all the lifting, priced by truck space. The trailer usually sits on your driveway, so there's usually no permit needed.

You load it, or our crew does. Either way, we take it to the right place.

Dumpster or trailer

What a dumpster really costs.

The box is the cheap part. The lifting is on you.

Many Sacramento dumpster rentals run $750 or more. That gets you a metal box on your driveway, not labor. You still carry every piece out and lift it over the wall, and the bill can climb if you go over the weight allowance or keep it past the rental window.

We work with dump trailers and dump trucks instead. You can load the trailer yourself, or have our crew load it, and either way we haul it away and take care of the disposal.

Two ways

Load it yourself, or let us.

Same trailer. You pick who does the lifting.

  • Self-load trailer rental, from $395. We drop the trailer, you load it, and we haul it away. A good fit for remodels and projects where you'd rather do the lifting yourself.
  • Full service. Our crew does all the loading, hauls it away and sweeps up. Priced by truck space: single items from $74, standard pickups from $149, full loads up to $749 ($699 for your first full load). A full load holds up to 2,000 lb.

Concrete, dirt, rock, brick, tile and roofing are the exception: those are priced by weight, with a free quote. We haul concrete once it's already broken up. We don't break up slabs, pads or footings.

Why a trailer

Why people skip the dumpster.

A few things you don't have to deal with.

  • Usually no permit needed, since the trailer typically sits on your driveway.
  • No lifting, if you don't want it. Couches, fridges, a garage full of boxes: our crew carries it all out.
  • The price up front. With full service you get the price before we load, and you pay after the job. Fuel is included, with no travel surcharges in our service area.
  • Nothing left sitting out. With full service, the trailer leaves with your junk the same visit, so there's no bin for the neighbors to top off.

Not sure which way comes out cheaper for your pile? Call and we'll tell you honestly: you loading, or us.

Where it goes

Donated, recycled, then disposed.

Your junk doesn't all go to the landfill.

About 45% of what we haul, on average, gets donated or recycled. Usable items go to Goodwill, Salvation Army, St. Vincent de Paul and Habitat ReStore, and scrap metal goes to Rancho Cordova yards. Mattresses go through Bye Bye Mattress.

The rest goes to the right local site: Kiefer Landfill in Sloughhouse, the North Area Recovery Station in North Highlands, WPWMA in Lincoln or Yolo County Central Landfill.

What we take

What goes in the trailer.

Most household and project junk, with a few honest limits.

We take: furniture, appliances (Freon handled to EPA rules, no extra fee), mattresses, garage and yard junk, remodel leftovers, hot tubs, and sheds or fences we take down.

We don't take: hazardous waste or asbestos, and we don't do demolition beyond sheds and fences.

Transparent pricing

The price you see is the price you pay.

No surprise fees. No "we'll quote on arrival" runaround. Confirmed before we lift a thing.

Starts from $74

"They did a fabulous job. They had a late start, but came into a heavy job and said let's get this done today and stayed until it was done. I would have expected them to push for another day, but they just kept on moving. Gabriel and his team were awesome."

"I called to have them haul a LOT of wood chips, way more than I needed for my garden. They were super helpful and professional, respectful of my home and property, and delightful to work with. They picked it all up and left the area cleaner than they found it. Highly recommend!"

One of the crew lifting a large tree stump straight into our dump trailer on a gravel drive. This is what full service looks like: the trailer is parked right there, and the crew does the lifting and loading instead of you. When it's full, we haul it away.

FAQ

Dump trailer questions.

Do you rent dumpsters?

No. We use dump trailers and dump trucks instead. You can rent a self-load trailer from $395: we drop it, you load it, and we haul it away. Or our crew loads it for you.

Do I need a permit?

Usually no permit needed, since the trailer typically sits on your driveway. If it would have to go on the street, ask us first.

Is a crew more expensive than a dumpster?

Often not. Many Sacramento dumpster rentals run $750 or more, and you do the loading. Our full service is priced by truck space, up to $749 for a full load, with the loading, fuel and disposal included.

How does the self-load trailer work?

We drop the trailer, you load it, and we haul it away. It starts at $395. Call and tell us what you're loading, and we'll give you the exact price.
