Junk Removal Changed Our Lives!

Check Out Our Epic Story And Mention It On The Phone To Receive A Special Discount!

When Alyssa received the call offering her dream job in Folsom, I felt a wave of mixed emotions. Folsom was 6 hours away from everything we knew, our friends and family. What would I even do for work up there, I wondered?  Who would have ever thought that over two years later, we’d be the go-to junk removal company Folsom trusts?  Nonetheless, it’s been a wild ride filled with blessings and challenges alike.

Our journey began with a leap of faith, as it usually does!  Answering God’s call, we left behind everything familiar—our friends, our families—and embarked on a seven hour car ride from Southern California (though, if we’re being honest, it felt like an eternity with a U-Haul in tow). But let me tell you, I couldn’t have asked for a more supportive and incredible wife in Alyssa. She really is amazing, in so many ways.  With unwavering encouragement, I ventured into countless interviews, still wondering what it was my career was going to look like up here, and yet refusing to settle for anything less than the perfect fit. As time went on, that elusive opportunity never materialized.

I’ve never been content being a cog in the profit-hungry machinery of corporate life. I wanted something more, something that would truly impact the community for good. That being said, in the midst of a white water rafting trip down the American River (combined with an evenings spent savoring pints at a local brewery with new friends) an idea began to take shape. We pondered the qualities I wanted in a career —helping others, embracing the dirt and sweat, and the joy of hitting the open road. It was then that Alyssa jokingly suggested, “Why not become a junk hauler?” Little did we know, that playful remark would ignite a fire within, leading to the purchase of our very first truck a couple of months later and the inception of our business.

Since that night, I haven’t looked back. Whether it’s delivering much-needed appliances, providing a swift furniture removal service, or simply clearing out months’ worth of accumulated trash from forgotten corners of yards and garages, I’ve discovered a sense of purpose that I wouldn’t trade for the world.

You know, it’s funny how life unfolds. My friends chuckle when I refer to myself as a trash man, rather than flaunting the title of a junk removal company owner. But here’s the thing—I really am grateful for any experience that keeps my ego grounded and humble. Each day (at least we do our best to remember!), we thank God for the incredible life He’s bestowed upon us and the invaluable lessons He continues to teach us. Initially, I had a skewed perspective, believing I was somehow superior to my peers due to test scores and upbringing. But this journey in waste management, dumpster rentals, and being the trusted provider of junk removal services in Sacramento has taught me a vital lesson—humility. It’s easy to find when you’re knee-deep in junk on a daily basis, and I wouldn’t trade that for anything.

So, as you embark on your own careers, I challenge you to seek that sense of purpose that ignites your soul, just as I did—even if it leads you to as unexpected of a place as it did for me being a trash man. Embrace the blessings that come your way, however unconventional they may seem. And above all, let humility guide your journey, for it is through embracing the humblest of tasks that we often find the greatest fulfillment.

They made the entire process so easy!! I sent pictures of all I had to get rid of and got a very fair quote in less than 5 minutes. I was even able to schedule pickup for that afternoon. They kept me informed of their arrival and then quickly packed it all up. Really pleasant to work with, amazing customer service and hard-working. Will definitely be using them again!

I recently used American River Hauling services to remove some items from my storage unit, and I’m so thankful! From beginning to end, Duke & Alex provided such excellent service! They were professional, very respectful, and communicated well. The removal was done quickly & with ease. Overall the topper for me personally is that they were gentlemen with genuinely caring hearts, and also the system they use to schedule, remind, pay, etc. I Highly recommend this business & will use again! Thank you American River Hauling, you’re the best in the area for sure!

At American River Hauling, We Hire For Character First

Duke Krygier employee at American River Junk Removal llc

Duke Krygier

Crew Leader / Driver

My brother Duke has been working with American River for just under a year.  I couldn’t be happier!  Because of his ability to relate to clients, estimate fairly, and execute safely, he’s a main reason for why we’re able to grow the rate that we are.  Duke once found a brown paper bag on a job with over $3,000 dollars in it, and he immediately gave it to the client.  Saying that I trust Duke on any particular job site is an understatement.  I couldn’t ask for a better 2nd, and I look forward to his continued growth in the company.

Oleksii (Alex) Konovalov

Junk Removal Specialist

Alex is a Ukrainian refugee that fled here over 6 months ago.  Living with a family that goes to our church, he brought with him a wife and two daughters.  You won’t meet a harder worker than Alex, period.  I have to routinely remind him that it’s break time, to which he replies in broken English, “it’s okay, I keep going.”  He is a family man with values that I resonate with, and I love the passion he has to build his new life in America.  The fact that he gets to speak in his native language with my brother (adopted from the Ukraine at 11) is an incredible blessing.

Kira, the truck dog

Kira

Truck Buddy

Kira started going on jobs with me from day one when we got her.  Always poking her nose out the window, she’s always excited to leave every morning and go with the crew.  While she doesn’t come with us as much anymore due to having a backyard she loves, on occasion you’ll see her sitting shotgun.  Always happy, always friendly, she loves to say hello if you see her!
