What We Take

We’ll remove pretty much everything except hazardous waste.  You need it gone?  We’ll get it done.

Furniture Removal

Furniture comes in all sorts of shapes and sizes, and we take it all.  From armoires, to desks, to tables, to entertainment centers, nothing is too big or too small.

Cardboard Removal

Did you just move in and find yourself with stacks and stacks of cardboard boxes? Have you gone on an online shopping spree and don’t know where to put it all? Give us a call.

Residential Junk Removal

Is junk piling up in the garage, side yard, or attic? Residential junk removal is our bread and butter, and we love servicing the residents of the Greater Sacramento Area.

E-Waste Removal

Electronics require special handling for proper disposal. Whether you have an old tv, radio, or computer monitor, we’ll make sure it gets to the right place.

Appliance Removal

Do you have an old appliance that’s ready to retire? Do you have a new one coming and you need to make space? Old appliances are our specialty.

Exercise Equipment

Mattresses and box springs are a pain to get rid of. They’re bulky, and they require special handling. If you have one to get rid of, call us today.

Mattress Removal

Mattresses and box springs are a pain to get rid of. They’re bulky, and they require special handling. If you have one to get rid of, call us today.

Sports Equipment

Sports Equipment is good for two things, being used and collecting dust! Whatever it is, no matter how heavy, we got you covered.

Old Grill

Rusted grills are more common than not. Reclaim your backyard and have that old barbeque hauled away and recycled properly by an Eco-Friendly Junk Removal company.

Office Junk

Is there a large pile of office junk accumulating by the water cooler? Is there a storage closet that’s bursting at the seams? We can help.

Oversized Bulky Items

There’s never been an oversized, bulky item we couldn’t safely haul away. Pianos? Entertainment centers? No problem.

Old Tool Disposal

Is your garage full of old tools that you don’t know what to do with? Skip the overwhelm and call American River Junk Removal today.

Waste Removal

Miss trash truck day? Have a party and don’t have enough space in your bin? We’re here to help.

Yard Debris Removal

When it comes to removing yard waste, you could either fill your green waste bin for months, or make one call. Doesn’t gone feel good?

Baby and Kid Equipment

When it comes to baby and kid equipment, we do what we can to find new homes for them. Pay it forward with the local company that cares.

Christmas Tree Removal

They’re absolutely beautiful until one day they’re not. Then they’re a fire hazard. Curbside and in-home removal options available.

Carpet Disposal

Carpet disposal doesn’t have to be difficult. Whether you’re renovating your space or it’s just time for a new roll, we’ve got you covered.

Junk Removal companies may do a variety of different things with your items after they’ve picked it up.

  1. Take it to the landfill
  2. Recycle items
  3. Re-home items
  4. Repurpose items

 

At American River Hauling and Junk Removal llc, we began the “Landfill-Last” movement where we do everything we reasonably can to make sure that our landfills don’t get filled with items that don’t need to be there.  Make sure to give your local junk removal company a call to see if they adopt practices like us, or if you need to keep calling around to find someone who does!

  • Home Maintenance Items: paint, propane, paint thinner, kerosene
  • Backyard Items: fertilizer, pool chemicals, pesticides, rat and rodent poisons
  • General Cleaning Items: bleach, drain cleaners, floor cleaners, ammonia, aerosol cans, batteries
  • Car / Truck Items: gasoline, brake fluid, motor oil, radiator cleaner, antifreeze
  • Items Containing Mercury: Fluorescent bulbs, thermometers, thermostats
  • Other Items: explosives, ammunition, medical waste, asbestos

Junk Removal companies don’t typically take hazardous items because of the following reasons:

  1. Cost of permitting required to handle/transport hazardous items legally and safely.
  2. The potential risk of mislabeled or unlabeled chemicals.
  3. Disposing of chemicals as a business costs money, while it’s typically free for residents in many cities/counties.

If you find a junk removal company that is willing to haul hazardous waste, be sure to check and see if they are licensed and permitted to do so.
