A Cheaper Option for Small Junk Pickups

Not every job needs a full dump run.

Sometimes you just need someone to grab an old chair, a few bags of clutter, a broken appliance, leftover moving junk, or a small pile of things that won’t fit in your trash bin.

Our Valley route-day pickup option is designed for those smaller jobs.

By grouping pickups by area, we’re able to keep costs lower than a one-off dump run while still giving you a simple, reliable way to get rid of unwanted items.

How Valley Route-Day Pickups Work

1. Send Us a Photo

Text us a clear photo of the items you want hauled away. This helps us give you a fair quote and avoid surprises on pickup day.

2. Tell Us Your Location

Let us know what part of the Valley you’re in, such as Solvang, Santa Ynez, Buellton, Los Olivos, Ballard, Los Alamos, or a nearby ranch/neighborhood.

3. Let Us Know the Access

Tell us where the items are located:

Curbside

Driveway

Garage

Backyard

Upstairs

Inside the home or business

Curbside and driveway pickups are usually the most affordable. Carry-out, stairs, heavy items, or difficult access may cost extra.

4. We Schedule Your Pickup

We schedule Valley pickups Tuesday through Saturday and group jobs by area to keep pricing as low as possible.

5. We Haul It Away

Once your spot is confirmed, we show up, load the items, and haul them away.

Pickup Days

Cheap Dump Runs offers scheduled Valley pickups:

Tuesday through Saturday

There are no scheduled pickups on Sunday or Monday because the landfill is closed.

Same-week or off-route dump runs may be available depending on the schedule, but regular one-off dump runs start at $175.

How Route-Day Pricing Works

Route-day pickup pricing is designed for customers who are flexible and can wait until we’re already picking up in their area.

This helps keep the price lower than a dedicated dump run.

Route-day pricing is available when your pickup can be grouped with other nearby jobs. If you need a specific day, urgent pickup, or a dedicated trip, regular dump run pricing applies and starts at $175.

Small pickups may be added to the next available route list and confirmed once the route has enough nearby pickups scheduled.

Route-Day Pickup Pricing

Route-day pricing is based on item volume, weight, access, and disposal cost.

Final pricing depends on photos, location, access, volume, weight, and disposal requirements.

If the pile is larger than shown in the photos, the price may need to be adjusted before pickup.

Why Book a Route-Day Pickup?

A route-day pickup is a simple way to save money when your job doesn’t require a full dump run.

Because we group jobs together by area, you get a lower price and we keep the truck moving efficiently throughout the Valley.

FAQs

How much does a route-day pickup cost?

Route-day pickups start at $75 for very small curbside pickups. Pricing depends on volume, weight, access, location, and disposal cost.

Why is route-day pickup cheaper than a regular dump run?

Route-day pricing is lower because we group multiple pickups in the same area instead of making a special trip for one job.

Do I need to be home?

Not always. If the items are clearly marked, accessible, and payment has been arranged, we may be able to pick them up without you being home.

Do you offer same-day pickup?

Sometimes, depending on the schedule. Same-day, same-week, or off-route pickups usually fall under our regular dump run pricing, which starts at $175.

Can you pick up items from inside my home or garage?

Yes, depending on the job. Carry-out service may cost extra, especially for heavy items, stairs, or difficult access.

Do you take mattresses and appliances?

Usually, yes. Mattresses, box springs, and appliances may have additional disposal or handling fees. Send us a photo for an accurate quote.

What areas do you serve?

Our route-day pickup service focuses on the Santa Ynez Valley, including Solvang, Santa Ynez, Buellton, Los Olivos, Ballard, Los Alamos, and nearby areas.

What items can’t you take?
