We haul junk, clean out houses and garages, and pick up brush and storm debris in Angels Camp. A few items usually run $200 to $400, and a 16-foot trailer piled high is typically $700 to $1,000, with dump fees included and the drive from Sonora in the price. You hear one flat price before anything is loaded, and we can price it from photos sent with the form.
Angels Camp, and how trash works on this side of the river
Angels Camp is the only incorporated city in Calaveras County, and city hall calls it the City of Angels. It had 3,667 people in the 2020 Census. The state landmark plaque on Main Street says it was a mining camp in 1849 and the setting of Mark Twain's jumping frog story.
This is a year-round town. In the 2020 Census, 124 of its 1,907 homes were held for seasonal use, a small share next to the cabin towns up Highway 108. Most junk here comes out of the house someone lives in: a garage that filled up, a move, or a parent's place to clear.
Inside city limits, curbside trash is Cal-Waste, under a franchise with the city that runs to 2028. The trash cart goes out weekly and the green waste cart every other week. City residents also get one free Handy Hauler a year, a 3.5 cubic yard bin for small, loose things. A couch, a washer or a fridge is what we are for.
Calaveras County runs its own dumps, and they take Calaveras and Alpine County residents only, with ID or a tax bill showing the solid waste fee. If you would rather not make the trips, we carry it out and haul it away. Our guide to what junk removal costs explains how a load is priced.

Can't Cal-Waste take it?
Your cart is for regular trash, and it cannot take dirt, concrete, rock or hazardous waste. City residents get one free Handy Hauler a year, and Cal-Waste rents debris boxes if you want to load it yourself. If you want it carried out and gone in one visit, that is what we do.
Do you take old fridges and washers?
