In Scotts Valley, GreenWaste Recovery handles the weekly carts, and that service does its job. The trouble is everything beside them: bags from a garage purge, a heap of cleanup debris, branches from a redwood-lot storm, or the extra garbage a rental turnover leaves behind. None of that fits in a cart.
Junk Gone is the one-time answer. We do not replace your regular hauler; we step in for the load that is bigger than the carts, arrives all at once, or sits somewhere a truck cannot reach. Send photos, get a free quote with upfront pricing, and we carry out the whole pile.
Carts versus a one-time haul-off
Cart contents go with your franchise hauler, and that stays the best route for ordinary weekly garbage. For loads we take, we separate what can be donated or recycled and send the remainder to a permitted facility. Self-haulers in the county can use Buena Vista Landfill near Watsonville or the Ben Lomond Transfer Station, which ask for proof of residency and do not accept e-waste or recyclables in a mixed load.
Household batteries and small electronics under the size limit can go curbside with the recycling, according to GreenWaste. Paint and similar products belong with the county’s household hazardous waste program, which is free to Scotts Valley residents with proof of residency.
What we haul away
- Bagged household trash
Overflow bags that no longer fit in the carts, plus trash from a garage or storage purge.
- Cleanup debris
Remodel scraps, broken fencing, old planters and the leftovers from a weekend project.
- Yard and green waste
Branches, brush and leaves piled up after storm season or fire-safety clearing.
- Mixed piles
A little of everything stacked behind the house that nobody wants to sort.
Trash hauling versus bulky junk pickup
(a) Trash and garbage hauling means bagged household trash, overflow, cleanup debris and yard or green waste. For a pile that is mostly branches and leaves, our yard waste removal page covers it; we do not have a Scotts Valley page for that service.
(b) Bulky junk pickup means furniture, appliances and mattresses. That work is on furniture removal, and our junk removal around Santa Cruz County page shows the wider area. One visit can combine both kinds of load.

Typical trash jobs around Scotts Valley
- Overflow after a garage purge
A family clears a two-car garage and ends up with thirty bags beside the carts. We haul all of it in one visit instead of waiting on weeks of trash day.
- Redwood branch and needle cleanup
A shaded lot has a long pile of fallen limbs and debris near the fence. We carry it from the back of the lot and rake the spot when we leave.
- Rental turnover trash
A landlord needs a townhome cleared of leftover bags and broken items before the next tenant. We haul it in one trip and send a photo of the empty space.
Scotts Valley FAQ: Trash Removal
Do you replace my GreenWaste service?
No. GreenWaste handles your weekly carts. We take one-time hauls and overflow they will not pick up.
Can you take yard waste and branches?
Yes. Bundled or loose is fine. Our yard waste removal page has more on green waste.
Is a couch trash or bulky?
A couch is bulky junk, while bags, debris and green waste are trash. We can load both on the same trip.
Can I put extra bags beside my cart?
Ask GreenWaste about their rules for extra bags. If they will not take them, we will.
Can paint cans go in the load?
No. Set paint and chemicals aside for the county’s free household hazardous waste program for residents.
How small can a job be?
Small is fine. A photo is enough for us to give you a free quote.
