Call, fill out the quote form, or book online. Same-day slots often open.

We show up

A friendly two-person crew texts ahead, confirms the price on the spot, no surprises.

It's gone

We load, sweep up, and haul it off — donating and recycling as much as we can.

Nonprofits & donations

We donate first, landfill last

Most junk-removal companies drive straight to the dump. We don't. Usable furniture, dishware, and household goods go to the Salvation Army and directly to local families who can't afford to buy new — often Hispanic families right here in our community. Metal, cardboard, and e-waste go to recyclers. Only what's truly unusable is disposed of responsibly.

A note on extra items: some things cost more because the Marin transfer station charges special dump fees for them — hot tubs, TVs & monitors, mattresses, tires, refrigerators and other large appliances. We pass those along at cost and always tell you the exact amount before we haul.

All sales are final. Prices shown are estimates and are subject to change based on the actual volume and weight of your load, special dump fees, and added difficulties such as stairs, long carries, tight access, or unusually heavy items. Your final price is always confirmed before we begin.

Questions

Junk removal FAQs

How much does junk removal cost in Marin County?

Every job starts at a $100 minimum. Your exact price depends on volume, weight and access, and we always give you one upfront, all-in quote before we lift a thing — no hourly meters, fuel charges, or franchise surcharges.

Do you offer same-day junk removal?

Often, yes. Same-day slots open up regularly — call, text, or fill out our quote form and we'll let you know the soonest available time.

What areas do you serve?

We're based in San Rafael and serve all of Marin and Sonoma counties — including Larkspur, Mill Valley, Tiburon, Novato, Corte Madera and San Anselmo — plus Santa Rosa and Sonoma. Outside that area? Ask anyway, we often travel a little further.

What items can't you take?

We take almost everything — furniture, appliances, garage and basement cleanouts, yard and construction debris, e-waste, hot tubs and sheds, and full estate cleanouts. A few items carry extra dump fees the Marin transfer station charges (hot tubs, TVs/monitors, mattresses, tires and large appliances), which we'll always tell you upfront.

Do you donate or recycle instead of dumping everything?

Yes. We're locally owned and donate or recycle as much as we possibly can instead of sending it straight to the landfill.

Do I need to be present for the pickup?

Not necessarily — many customers arrange access details (gate codes, garage location, etc.) in the notes on their quote request and aren't home when we arrive. Just let us know your preference when you book.

"Could not be happier with the service that I received! This young couple is so determined to be the best and as far as I'm concerned, they sure were! Price was perfect. They were clean. They even swept an area where a little bit of debris fell on the ground -just all around good guys at a great price!"

"Highly recommend Quentin! We are a volunteer-run nonprofit and desperately needed to clear out a courtyard full of debris from a summer remodeling project. Quentin responded immediately, gave a quick photo-based estimate, and then visited the site in person (bringing along his adorable dog, Harley!). Even though there was more junk than he initially anticipated, he completely honored his original estimate. His pricing is fair, his attitude is incredibly pleasant, and he knocked out the entire job in a single day. We are so grateful for his help!"

"I happened to come upon an ad for Greenhaul JR and immediately loved their premise of reusing or donating 'junk' prior to going to the landfill. Quentin's prices are reasonable, and he came to our house to pick up our stuff the same day I called him! He, and his dad, Troy, were heard-working, polite, and great communicators. For example, when he was running late, he let me know well in advance. As a bonus, he brought his 8-mo old GSD puppy who played non-stop with our almost 2 yo GSD pup. I highly recommend using Greenhaul and we will definitely use them again when we need help with 'junk' removal."

"I liked the premise of Greenhaul JR because they reuse or donate whatever they can. I hate taking anything to the dump when it can be reused or repurposed. We have ltd. space so we kept some wood from a deck remodel, but had no place to store the rest. It was soon-to-be-headed to the dump. When I contacted Quentin, he let me know he could come out later that day. He was running late, and he notified me well in advance to let me know. Q and his dad, Troy showed up and got all of our wood loaded and gone within a couple of hours. As a bonus, they brought their puppy so our puppy got to have a fun run-around with their beautiful dog. Hard workers, smart biz model, nice people and fair pricing. I highly recommend Greenhaul and I know we will use them again!"

"Quincy and his team were great to work with. I submitted a request for a quote online and they responded quickly with a reasonable quote. I reached out to them because I really appreciate their mission of the land-fill being the last resort. They were able to recycle most of what I needed to get rid of. I will definitely be calling them again and highly recommend them."

Questions

Dumpster rental FAQs

How much does a dumpster rental cost?

One flat rate: $649 covers your whole rental — 1 to 3 days, delivery, pickup, dump fees, and 1.5–2 tons of debris all included. Additional weight beyond that is $120 per ton. No hourly meters, no hidden add-ons.

What size dumpster do you offer?

Just one: a 15-cubic-yard dump trailer. It's the size that fits most driveways and handles the large majority of home and yard projects, so there's no guessing between sizes — one simple, flat rental.

How long do I get to keep it?

Your rental includes 3 days from drop-off. That's usually plenty of time to load it at your own pace.

What if I fill it up before day 3?

Call or text us — we're happy to swing by early and haul it off and dump it ahead of schedule at no extra charge.

What if I need it a little longer?

Reach out before your 3 days are up and we'll do our best to work with your schedule.

Is the dump fee included in the price?

Yes. Your $649 flat rate already includes drop-off, pickup and disposal, plus 1.5–2 tons of debris — no separate haul-away or tipping fee sprung on you at pickup. Loads heavier than that (like dirt, concrete or roofing debris often run) are billed at $120 per additional ton; we'll always confirm the total with you before we haul it away.

Is there a weight limit?

Your $649 rate includes 1.5–2 tons of debris — plenty for most household, yard and remodel projects. Beyond that, extra weight is $120 per ton, confirmed with you before final pickup so there are never any surprises.

Do I need a permit?

Usually not if the trailer stays on your own driveway or property. If it needs to sit in the street, check with your city first — we're happy to help you figure out what's required.

What can't go in the trailer?

Wet paint, chemicals and other hazardous liquids, asbestos and other regulated materials, and tires, batteries, ammunition or explosives. Almost everything else — household junk, yard debris, remodel and construction debris — is fair game.

Do you offer same-day drop-off?

Often, yes, depending on availability. Call, text, or request a quote and we'll confirm the soonest opening.

What areas do you deliver to?

All of Marin and Sonoma counties, San Francisco, and the East Bay via the Richmond–San Rafael Bridge. See the full list of cities below, or ask anyway — we often travel a little further.

Our story

Brand new, and proud of it

We're two students at Dominican University who started GreenHaul this year to help put ourselves through school — right here in San Rafael, with our dog Harley riding shotgun. What began as a way to fund our education has turned into something we're building to last: a real local brand, earned one honest job at a time, that we intend to grow into a company that outlives our time in college.

When you call, you get one of us — not a call center. We always answer our own phone, quote fair prices upfront, and donate or recycle everything we can instead of dumping it.

Mission & vision

Our mission

To make clearing out clutter easy, fair, and genuinely good for our community — showing up on time, quoting honestly, and donating or recycling first so more of what we haul finds a second home instead of a landfill.

Our vision

To grow GreenHaul from two students with a truck and trailer into Marin and Sonoma's most trusted name in junk removal — and, in time, a lasting company known as much for how it treats people and the planet as for the work it does.

GreenHaul Junk Removal — Service Agreement & Work Authorization

This Agreement is between GreenHaul Junk Removal ("Company") and the customer named above ("Customer") for junk removal and hauling services at the service address.

1. Estimates & final price

Prices are estimates based on the volume, weight, type, and accessibility of the items as described or shown. The final price is confirmed on-site before work begins and may change if actual conditions differ. By signing, Customer approves the agreed price shown above (or, if left blank, the price confirmed on-site before work begins). Any change in scope requires Customer's approval.

2. Payment

Payment in full is due upon completion unless otherwise agreed in writing. Customer authorizes payment of the agreed amount and agrees not to initiate a chargeback or payment dispute for services performed and accepted. A returned payment (for example, a check that does not clear or a bank transfer that is reversed) or an unwarranted chargeback (disputing a card payment for a job that was completed and accepted) may incur a $35 fee plus any reasonable collection costs.

3. Ownership & authorization

Customer represents that they own the items to be removed, or are fully authorized to dispose of them, and that removal violates no lease, lien, or third-party right. Customer agrees to indemnify and hold Company harmless from any claim arising from disputed ownership or authorization.

4. No valuables in discarded items

Customer confirms that no cash, jewelry, financial or legal documents, data or media, medication, firearms, or other valuables are contained in the items to be removed, and is responsible for removing such items beforehand. Company is not responsible for, and Customer releases Company from any claim regarding, any valuable inadvertently included and removed.

5. Hazardous & prohibited materials

Customer must disclose any hazardous materials (asbestos, chemicals, biohazards, fuels, etc.). Company may decline to handle hazardous or prohibited materials and is not liable for undisclosed hazards. Customer is responsible for any loss or cost caused by undisclosed hazardous materials.

6. Access, site conditions & property

Customer is responsible for providing safe, legal access. Company will use reasonable care. Customer acknowledges that moving large or heavy items through doorways, stairs, hallways, and tight spaces carries inherent risk, and that Company is not responsible for pre-existing damage or for ordinary marks or wear unavoidable in the normal course of removal. Any claim of damage must be reported to Company in writing, with photos, within 24 hours of service, or it is waived.

7. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Company's total liability for any claim arising out of the services is limited to the amount Customer paid for those services, and Company is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages. Nothing here limits any liability that cannot be limited under California law.

8. Cancellation / rescheduling / no-show

Please give at least 24 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule. Any cancellation made within 2 hours of the scheduled appointment time — or a no-show after a crew has been dispatched — will incur a $50 late-cancellation fee.

9. All sales final

Once items are removed they are sorted, donated, recycled, or disposed of and cannot be returned or retrieved. Payments for completed services are non-refundable, except as required by law. Title to removed items transfers to Company upon removal, and Company decides in good faith how to dispose of them.

10. Assumption of risk / entry

Customer authorizes Company personnel to enter the property to perform the work and releases Company from liability except for claims caused by Company's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

11. Electronic signature

Customer consents to transact electronically and agrees that their typed name and drawn signature below are a legally binding electronic signature under the U.S. ESIGN Act and California UETA, and that an emailed copy is an acceptable record.

12. Governing law & disputes

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of California, with venue in Marin County. In any action to enforce it, the prevailing party is entitled to reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. This is the entire agreement regarding the services; if any part is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.
