The Problem

Getting junk off a foothill lot is harder than it looks

You search for options, call the county, leave messages with a few haulers, and wait on callbacks that may never come. Meanwhile the junk stays parked in the garage, one more weekend at a time.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

Unincorporated communities usually rely on county franchise haulers or transfer sites, not a city crew. Bulky pickups, where offered, often need advance requests, have item limits, and stop at the curb. That doesn't help when the junk sits at the end of a long, steep driveway.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers want to drive out for an in-person estimate before quoting, which can mean a long wait for a remote mountain address. Then pricing is based on a guess at how full the truck gets, so you won't know your final cost until the job is done.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Donation centers need items they can actually resell, so stained upholstery, worn mattresses, and broken appliances often get turned away. Even when something qualifies, you still have to load it and drive it down the hill, with no promise it gets accepted.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off container means scheduling delivery and pickup, finding a level spot on a sloped or wooded lot, and loading every heavy piece yourself. For a single room or a shed cleanout, you end up paying for space you don't use and doing all the lifting.

Loaders who show up ready for the grade

A shed down a sloped, wooded lot means your Loader carries everything uphill to the truck. Each Loader is background-checked and rated by real locals in Big Oak Flat after each job.

  • Local, vetted Loaders
  • Licensed & insured
Pickup Options

Left by the driveway or carried out from inside

If your old recliner or a stack of brush already sits where the driveway meets the road, curbside is the straightforward choice. When the load is still in a cabin loft, a basement, or a garage at the end of a long gravel drive, choose full-service so your Loaders can carry it out from wherever it sits.

Neighborhoods Served

Proudly serving Big Oak Flat and neighbors all along Highway 120

Out here, a long driveway, a steep wooded lot, and a disposal site that can be a winding drive away turn one old sofa into a whole Saturday. Your Loaders do the lifting, carrying, and loading, from shed to slope to truck, and they like showing up for the people who call Big Oak Flat home.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Local Disposal Rules

The Big Oak Flat disposal rules most residents don't know

Hauling a load on the wrong day or to the wrong facility can mean a wasted trip, and these rules apply in Big Oak Flat and across Tuolumne County.

Rule 01

Wildfire clearance debris and scrap lumber go to Sonora

Tuolumne County sends lumber and green waste, including pine needles, leaves, brush, branches and stumps, to the Earth Resource Facility in Sonora. If you are cutting back vegetation for wildfire defensible space, plan your cleanup around that trip.

Rule 02

Household chemicals come with strict container and quantity limits

Tuolumne County's household hazardous waste collection limits each trip to 15 gallons and 125 pounds. No single container can be larger than 5 gallons. Put the waste in the trunk or truck bed and stay in your vehicle while staff unload it.

Rule 03

The Groveland transfer station takes bulky items only two days

Furniture, mattresses, appliances and other items too large for a garbage cart can go straight to the Big Oak Flat / Groveland Transfer Station. It opens only on Wednesdays and Saturdays. The Cal Sierra Transfer Station in Sonora is open seven days a week. Both charge fees.

Rule 04

Old TVs and computers cannot go in household trash

California law treats electronic waste as hazardous, so it doesn't belong in regular garbage. In Tuolumne County, you can take an old TV or computer to the Cal Sierra Transfer Station or the Groveland Transfer Station, where a gate fee may apply.

Rule 05

Used motor oil has drop-off points near Pine Mountain Lake

Several Tuolumne County collection points near Big Oak Flat take used motor oil and oil filters, including Pine Mountain Lake, Moccasin Recreation Area and the Groveland Transfer Station. Contaminated motor oil goes to the county's Household Hazardous Waste Facility instead.

Rule 06

Waiting for a spring or fall amnesty can save on tire disposal

Tuolumne County transfer stations take tires for a fee. When grant funds are available, the county holds Tire Amnesty Collection Days in April and October. If you have a stack of old tires, waiting for one of these days may be cheaper.

Not without a subscription. Big Oak Flat is unincorporated, so Tuolumne County has no free bulk curbside pickup. Residents subscribe to a franchise hauler such as Moore Bros Scavenger Co. for regular trash, or self-haul to the Groveland Transfer Station.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Big Oak Flat starts at $75, and curbside or driveway pickup takes a flat $5 off. The first item includes the base pickup fee, and each additional item is a flat add-on, with the exact total confirmed before booking. Self-hauling to the transfer station may involve gate fees.

Often yes. Same-day or next-day pickup is offered when you book before 12pm, depending on Loader availability for your address. Enter your address during booking to see live options. For curbside pickups you don't need to be home, and for in-home pickups you can leave access instructions.

The Groveland Transfer Station at 10700 Merrell Road is the closest county option. It is open Wednesdays and Saturdays, 8am to 3:45pm, and you can call (209) 962-7224. Gate fees may apply, and it also takes items like electronics and household batteries.

Loaders try to keep usable items out of the landfill by donating them to local charities when options allow. Recyclable materials go to recyclers depending on acceptance, and electronics are routed to e-waste facilities whenever possible. Only what can't be reused or recycled is disposed of.

You choose your items online and see upfront pricing, then pick a pickup window. Your Loader calls ahead before arriving, carries the items out, and loads them. The price you were quoted is confirmed before booking, so there is no surprise estimate at the door.

The main difference is pricing and booking. Traditional haulers like 1-800-GOT-JUNK and Junk King generally price by truckload, often confirmed on-site. LoadUp prices per item online and confirms the total before booking, which often suits smaller jobs better. Large cleanouts can favor truckload pricing.
