Debris Removal in San Luis Obispo County

Scrap piles, storm mess, old fencing, junk spread across the yard. We pick it up, haul it away and recycle the metal, so your property is clear again.

Before: old lumber and debris on a property in San Luis Obispo

Debris is the stuff that piles up outside: old fencing, scrap wood, broken patio stuff, storm-fallen branches, and junk spread across a yard or lot.

We clear it for homeowners, landlords, new owners who inherited a mess, and people with a notice from the city. On one job we recycled 2 tons of metal, including thousands of old bike parts.

If your debris is from a remodel, see our construction debris removal page.

Debris we haul away

What we can't take

We can’t take liquid paint, liquid chemicals, fuel, motor oil, propane tanks, medical waste or other hazardous waste. San Luis Obispo County residents can drop those off at no charge at the county’s household hazardous waste facilities (IWMA drop-off info). Not sure about something? Text us a photo.

How much does debris removal cost?

We price by space. How much of our 12.5 cubic yard trailer will your stuff fill? A full trailer holds about 6 pickup truck loads. Your price covers the loading, hauling, disposal and sweep-up. We tell you the price before we start, and there’s no charge if you change your mind.

What can change the price:

Anything still useful gets donated or rehomed. Only what’s left goes to the landfill.
