WHAT THIS SERVICE COVERS
Why Sacramento Valley Families Choose Murdock’s for Move-Out Junk Removal
- Move-day box, packing paper, and bubble wrap haul-away
- Old furniture and appliance removal — couches, mattresses, dressers, washers
- Donation coordination with Chico and Yuba-Sutter area charities
- Garage, shed, barn, and foothill property cleanouts
- Responsible disposal through local Sacramento Valley recycling and waste facilities
- Same-day turnaround so items don't sit through triple-digit heat
The truck's unloaded and the boxes are flattened, but your new place still looks like a warehouse — or maybe you're downsizing out of a Bay Area house into a smaller Chico or Yuba City home and there's a garage full of furniture that just isn't making the cut. founded by Neacail Murdock, Murdock’s Moving & Storage built junk removal into our service lineup because move day and cleanout day almost always happen together. Whether it's a stack of packing debris, an old couch, or an entire property that needs clearing before a sale, we handle it as part of the Sacramento Valley moves we run every week.
What sets our approach apart is that we don't treat everything as trash. Usable furniture and household items get coordinated with local Chico and Yuba-Sutter area donation organizations before anything heads to disposal, and recyclable materials — cardboard, packing paper, clean plastics — get separated and routed to the right facility instead of a landfill. That matters even more out here: Sacramento Valley properties run bigger than average, foothill and rural addresses around Paradise, Magalia, and unincorporated Yuba-Sutter County often don't have curbside pickup at all, and a garage full of junk sitting through a 100-degree summer becomes a pest and fire-hazard problem fast. Same-day turnaround keeps that from happening.
The crew that clears your junk is the same licensed, insured team that handles your move — not a separate outfit. Murdock’s operates under USDOT 3421940 / MC 1416634 and carries verified insurance coverage, so the same coverage protecting your move protects the cleanout. We don't publish flat junk-removal pricing because volume and access vary too much to make that honest — call (530) 804-5893 for a free quote, or run the numbers on our /moving-cost-calculator/ or /packing-calculator/ first.
THE WORK / NOT THE SALES PITCH
What the Crew Plans For.
Old Furniture & Appliance Haul-Away
The couch that doesn't fit the new floor plan, the mattress you replaced, the washer that didn't make the cut — we remove and responsibly dispose of furniture and appliances so you're not wrestling them onto a trailer yourself.
Local Donation Coordination
Usable items go to donation first, not the dump. We coordinate pickups and drop-offs with Chico and Yuba-Sutter area charities so your furniture and household goods find a second home nearby.
Garage, Shed & Barn Cleanouts
Sacramento Valley properties tend to have more storage than most — garages, sheds, and barns on foothill and rural lots included. We clear it all out and sort donations from waste as we go.
Responsible Sacramento Valley Disposal
Recyclable cardboard, paper, and clean plastics are separated and routed to local recycling facilities rather than landfilled. We route everything else through proper Butte and Yuba-Sutter County channels.
Same-Day Turnaround Before the Heat Hits
Sacramento Valley summers push past 100°F, and junk sitting in a hot garage attracts pests fast. We offer same-day haul-away, timed around the morning cool, so nothing sits and spoils in the heat.
MOVE SEQUENCE
A Plan Before the Truck Arrives.
Tell Us What's Going
Describe the items, volume, and location — move-day boxes, old furniture, or a full garage or property cleanout. We'll fold it into your move quote or give you a free standalone estimate.
We Build It Into Your Move Day
Whether it's bundled with your move or scheduled on its own, we plan around Sacramento Valley heat and foothill or rural access so the pickup happens early and efficiently.
Crew Sorts, Loads & Hauls
Our crew separates donatable items from recyclables and waste, loads everything, and hauls it out — no separate junk-removal outfit, just the same movers already on site.
Clean Space, Confirmed Disposal
Donations are dropped at local Chico or Yuba-Sutter organizations, recyclables are separated, and the rest is disposed of properly. You get a clean garage, shed, or property back.

How much does junk removal cost with Murdock’s?
Junk removal pricing depends on volume, item type, and whether it's bundled with a move or standalone — we don't publish flat rates because every cleanout is different. Bundle it with your move for the most efficient rate, or call (530) 804-5893 for a free quote. You can also run our /moving-cost-calculator/ or /packing-calculator/ for a ballpark before you call.
What items will Murdock’s haul away?
We haul away moving boxes and packing debris, old furniture (couches, mattresses, dressers, tables), appliances, yard waste, garage and shed clutter, and general household junk. We also clear sheds, barns, and outbuildings common on Chico and Yuba City-area properties. If you're not sure whether something qualifies, mention it when you call and we'll tell you straight.
Do you donate usable items instead of dumping everything?
Yes — usable furniture and household goods get routed to donation first, not the landfill. We coordinate with Chico and Yuba-Sutter area charities and thrift organizations so your old couch or dresser goes to someone who needs it. Only items that truly can't be donated or recycled go to disposal.
Can junk removal happen the same day as my move?
Yes, and that's how most customers use this service. We haul away unwanted items at your old place or clear post-move debris at the new one on the same day your crew is already there, so you're not scheduling a second visit. Same-day standalone junk pickup is also available based on crew availability — call (530) 804-5893 to check the schedule.
Do you handle full estate or property cleanouts?
Yes. We clear entire properties throughout Chico, Yuba City, and the surrounding Sacramento Valley — sorting donations, recyclables, and waste room by room. We work with families, executors, and real estate agents who need a house cleared and presentable, whether that's for a sale, a move, or settling an estate.
What can't you take?
We can't haul hazardous materials — paint, chemicals, solvents, motor oil, propane tanks, pesticides, or medical waste. Butte County's Neal Road Recycling and Waste Facility and the Yuba-Sutter household hazardous waste program handle those items properly, and we'll point you to the right drop-off if you're unsure where something belongs.
Do you reach foothill and rural properties outside town?
Yes. A lot of our cleanout calls come from Paradise, Magalia, Oroville-area foothill homes, and rural Yuba-Sutter properties where there's no curbside pickup and junk tends to pile up in sheds or long driveways. We bring the right truck and crew for gravel roads, acreage, and outbuildings — just tell us the access when you call.
