Santa Margarita is only about 15 minutes from our shop in San Luis Obispo, up and over the Cuesta Grade on Highway 101. That makes it one of the easiest North County towns for us to reach.
Our 4×4 truck and trailer handle dirt roads, gravel drives and tight turns on ranch land.
No dragging things to the curb. We carry it out of the house, garage, backyard or upstairs bedroom, then sweep up.
We sort every load. Good stuff goes to local thrift stores. Metal and appliances go to SA Recycling. The landfill is last.
Text us a photo of your junk in Santa Margarita, wherever it sits. We’ll send back a price range, or book a no-obligation on-site estimate.
We’re just over the grade, so we can usually fit you in soon. We confirm your price before any work starts.
We load from the house, garage or anywhere on the property, sweep up, and donate or recycle what we can.
No surprises. You get a firm price before we start. If you decide not to go ahead, there’s no charge, and rescheduling or cancelling costs nothing.
Most Santa Margarita jobs are homes in town or rural properties out toward Santa Margarita Lake and along Highway 58.
Pricing works the same everywhere we go. It’s based on how much of our 12.5 cubic yard dump trailer your stuff fills. A full trailer is about 6 pickup truck loads. Jobs start at a $145 minimum, which covers about half a pickup load, and go up in small steps from there.
Your price includes the loading, hauling, disposal and sweep-up. Heavy things like dirt, rock and tile, or stuff spread across a big lot, can add to the price. We always tell you first.
Text a photo for a price range, or book a no-obligation on-site estimate. Either way, we confirm the price and get your OK before any work starts.
The town. Santa Margarita (93453) is a small, quiet town at the base of the Cuesta Grade. Homes in town sit on older, roomy lots. Outside town, ranch land stretches out along Highway 58 and toward Santa Margarita Lake.
The weather. It’s inland, so it’s warmer than San Luis Obispo in summer and colder on winter mornings. Big outdoor jobs in summer start early.
Fire season. Dry grass and oaks are everywhere. Clearing junk, old wood piles and brush away from your home and barn is worth doing before summer.
Rural access. Dirt roads, gates and long drives are normal here. Tell us about your road when you text, and we’ll bring the right setup.
