Looking for someone to do a dump run

March 2005

I would like to find someone to do a dump run for me (one truck-load worth of stuff). Can anyone recommend someone they've used before? I'd be willing to pay $50 - $75 for the run (plus dump fees). clay

For the person looking for a someone to do hauling/dump run, you can contact Peter at VanDeusen Hauling at 339-1019. He has done a lot of work for us -- clean up in our very over grown backyard and all our hauling. Mary Linda

YOU CAN CALL THEM DIRECTLY @ 415 385 0947 OR E-MAIL ME WITH FURTHER QUESTIONS. I HAVE TO ADD THAT THEY ARE ALSO AFFORDABLE TO ANYONE! THANK YOU NAGELA

Small Hauling Job

Dec 2004

I'm looking for an updated recommendation for someone to haul away junk. Lots of cardboard and misc. items too large for a trash can. Thanks sharon

Re: junk removal/small hauling
I am pleased to recommend Tommy's Hauling (510-882-4738). They do general clean-up, demolition, dirt/concrete and yard work. I called them to get rid of some demolition debris and yard waste, and ended up also hiring them to do some yard work and demolishing a rotting, obsolete, exterior staircase. They were great! They knew when to ask questions (like when taking out the concrete footing of the stairs would have damaged the surrounding concrete patio), but didn't need to be micromanaged. When they were done the yard was pristine, and considering that it started covered with many years growth of an invasive morning glory vine and abandoned property from years of revolving tenants, that's saying a lot. I was very, very happy with their service and would definitely use them again. Carrie

We have a bunch of junk in our sideyard that needs hauling away. Size-wise, it is ~4 large garbage bags full, with nearly half of it large pieces of polystyrene, so it is not heavy, but it our bulky trash pickup day is 6 months away, and we are sick of looking at it. Any recommendations of someone who is willing to take such a small job? I cannot fit it into my car to take it somewhere myself. Thanks! Ellen

I had a small job a few months ago and found a wonderful, friendly woman to clear it all away for me. Her name is Ariel Levy. She has a truck and a friend, and no job is too small. Her number is 510-452-4211. Jennifer

Someone to haul away junk in yard

June 2002

For a Father's Day surprise for my better half, I would like to arrange to hire someone to come and haul away to the dump old stuff (some construction debris, old cement, a sink...and no, it doesn't have to be done ON Father's Day!) that is piling up in our yard. There are maybe two small-pick-up-sized loads, and the hauler is welcome to ''salvage'' anything that we have labeled junk. I checked the website and only got one viable name; I would love to have recommendations of who to call for a reasonable estimate (and maybe even who to avoid)? Thanks! Karen

Happy to recommend Dido Services for hauling. nice and reasonable, and recommended by a gardener when I was selling my house, to haul away all the debris she created! Dido also came and hauled a large wooden playhouse from my old place to my new place for far less than another quoted me. Dido Services: (510) 527-3440 nancy

I have used Francisco Di Domenico (listed on the network archives), for haulage and found him to be very good, reasonable rates. Mary

Try Gil Maoz. He has a bobcat and does just the sort of thing you are looking for, and also has a hauling company too. (He is not a landscaper) He's easy to work with, nice and professional. You can reach him at Gil's Hauling 665-9128. Leah

Getting rid of junk in El Cerrito

I am in the process of getting rid of lots of junk in my house in El Cerrito. I have numerous funky boxes with junk that needs to be hauled soon--basically raggy clothes mixed in with dampish papers, broken appliances, non usable toys, odds and ends, and other miscellaneous stuff. Can anyone recommend a service that could just come and haul all of these boxes out of my garage. Depending on the size of the truck it might take two trips. Also what are the going rates for this service? I'm on a tight budget. Thanks!

East Bay Sanitary, El Cerrito's trash pickup, allows one ''free'' big pick up each year. They have specific parameters on what they will take for free (12 bags or boxes of a certain size). However, you can put anything (and let me tell you we put everything!) out and they will take it for a fee. We had about two truck's worth of stuff and they took it all, part went towards the free pickup and the other we paid about $120. Call them to get the information and arrange pick-up. Allison

Getting rid of a pile of rocks

April 2002

This message is directed at Karen, who wants to get rid of a yard full of lava rocks, and anyone else in a similar situation. The solution is simple: post a ''Free Lava Rocks!'' ad on Craig's List, a free online advertising and community resource in the Bay Area. The URL is http://www.craigslist.org. Choose the ''east bay'' Craig's List in the upper right corner; then click the ''barter/swap/free'' option under the ''Sale/Wanted'' category. My front yard, about 20' X 20', was a good four inches deep with lava rocks until last month. I ran my freebie ad on a Monday; by Friday, almost all of the rocks were gone, taken by folks who wanted 'em. The rocks went to new homes, rather than the landfill, and I didn't have to pay a nickel to have them removed. Fabu all around! Cathy

Someone to tear down an old garage

2001

We are looking for someone to tear down two small structures on our property: an old garage and a dilapidated cottage. Any recommendations forsomeone who can do this and haul it all away while they're at it? -Margaret

Francisco Di Domenico (Franko) 510/526-8549. Efficient and reliable: excavation, hauling, roof removal, demolition. Doug and Jean

I can recommend Felix Severino at 510 558 0819 for demolition and haulage work. He has done haulage work for us and regularly does demolition and haulage work for various contractors in the East Bay. He is from Brazil so bear in mind that English is his second language. He will do a great job and his prices are reasonable. -Mary
