FAQ

One Strong Man – Junk Removal & Moving Services

What areas do you serve?

We proudly serve Tracy, CA, and surrounding areas, including Mountain House, Lathrop, Manteca, and Livermore.
If you’re within driving distance of Tracy, we can usually make it work — just call or text (209) 650-3977 for a quick quote.

How soon can you pick up my junk?

For small to mid-size hauls, we offer same-day or next-day junk removal (truck and trailer ready).
For larger cleanouts that need more manpower or extra dump equipment, we’ll schedule within 48 hours after doing an in-person estimate.

Do I need to move the junk to the curb?

Nope! We provide full-service junk removal.
That means you can leave everything where it is — garage, backyard, upstairs, or storage unit.
Our trained team safely removes items using professional tools and equipment so you don’t lift a thing.

How does pricing work?

We’re a family-owned local business, and we try to work within your budget.
Our minimum charge is $80, and prices depend on the volume, weight, and type of materials we haul.
We’ll give you a no-pressure quote upfront before we start.
For large or mixed-load jobs, we can do in-person estimates to make sure pricing is fair and accurate.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept cash, debit/credit cards, Zelle, and Venmo.
Payment is due after the job is completed and you’re satisfied with the work.

🛠️ Junk & Items We Remove

We remove almost everything, including:

  • Furniture (sofas, tables, dressers, mattresses)

  • Appliances (washers, dryers, refrigerators)

  • Yard waste (branches, dirt, concrete debris)

  • Construction materials (wood, drywall, tiles, flooring)

  • Garage clutter or storage cleanouts

  • Electronics and e-waste

  • Small sheds, hot tubs, or playsets

We don’t handle hazardous waste (paint, chemicals, fuel, etc.) — but we can guide you to the right disposal site in San Joaquin County.

Do you recycle or donate items?

Yes! Whenever possible, we donate usable items to local charities or recycle materials at the Tracy Material Recovery Facility (MRF).
We aim to reduce landfill waste and give your old stuff a second life.

How do I schedule a pickup?

You can:

  1. Call or text (209) 650-3977

  2. Fill out our “Get a Quote” form on OneStrongMan209.com

  3. Send us a few photos of the items for a fast estimate

We’ll confirm your pickup time and give you an upfront price — no surprises.

What happens on pickup day?

  1. We call or text before arriving.

  2. Our crew inspects the items, confirms the quote, and begins removal.

  3. We carefully load everything into our truck and trailer.

  4. We sweep up the area when done.

  5. You approve the job and make payment — quick and simple!

Do I need to be home for the pickup?

If we’ve confirmed access and item details, you don’t always need to be home.
You can leave items outside, in the garage, or give us gate access instructions.

🚚 Moving & Hauling

Do you offer moving services?

Yes — in addition to junk removal, we provide small local moving and delivery services within Tracy and the 209 area.
Whether you’re moving furniture across town or need a few items picked up and dropped off, we’ve got the truck, trailer, and equipment to handle it safely.

Can you help load or unload my U-Haul or storage unit?

Absolutely. We can assist with labor-only services, helping you load or unload your rental truck, pod, or storage unit quickly and safely.

What if I’m not sure how big my job is?

No problem — just send us pictures or a short video, and we’ll give you an estimated range.
If it looks like a bigger project, we’ll schedule a free in-person quote to make sure everything’s planned right.

What if I need to add more items on the day of pickup?

That’s fine — we’ll adjust the quote on-site based on how much space the additional items take in the trailer.
You’ll always approve the new total before we load.

Where do you take the junk after pickup?

We dispose of items responsibly at local facilities like the Tracy Material Recovery Facility (MRF) or San Joaquin County Landfill, recycling as much as possible.
Your junk gets handled the right way — not just dumped anywhere.

Why choose One Strong Man over national junk chains?

Because we’re local, family-owned, and budget-friendly.
You’ll talk directly with the owner (no call center), and we take pride in being your neighbor you can count on — not a franchise.
Same-day service, fair pricing, and honest work — that’s what makes One Strong Man stand out.
