American Hauling is a full-service junk removal company based in Oakland, California and servicing surrounding East Bay communities, including Berkeley, Emeryville, Alameda, San Leandro, Orinda, and Albany. We have over 19 years of experience in residential and commercial hauling, including smaller residential renovations, large-scale commercial building clean outs, construction site clean outs, eviction clean outs, and “hoarder” houses. We count among our longtime clients many local real estate companies and construction contractors. We offer free estimates and phone consultations and we accept credit cards. In addition to all kinds of hauling, from single item pickups to whole house cleanouts, we offer light demolition services for kitchens, bathrooms, decks, hot tubs, fences, sunrooms, and sheetrock and carpet removal. We are fully licensed and insured, carrying general liability insurance and worker’s compensation for every employee on the job. We are environmentally friendly and divert up to 85% of all materials from landfill. We supply receipts for all services, and clear communication and attention to detail is our goal. We have a 5-star Yelp rating, from real client reviews. Contact us now, or read on to find out more about our services.
We are certified by Oakland’s GreenHalo program, so we can help your new construction, renovation, and demolition projects in Oakland, Berkeley, Alameda, Orinda, and other municipalities meet requirements like Oakland’s Construction and Demolition Debris Waste Reduction and Recycling Ordinance. We are also lead-safe certified.
We do our part to help the City of Oakland Recycling & Solid Waste Program responsibly manage solid waste from Oakland residents, businesses, events, and construction activity, including efforts to meet local and State mandated requirements to divert materials from landfill disposal.
As long as it’s not liquid or hazardous substances, we can haul it – and we probably already have. Haulers see it all!
We have experience working with all kinds of people to make sure the job gets done right, according to each client’s needs.
We’ll go almost anywhere in the Bay Area, but we can respond fastest to jobs closer to our home base in Oakland.
We are a full-service junk removal company located in Oakland, California, and servicing Oakland, Berkeley, Alameda, Emeryville, San Leandro, and other nearby Bay Area communities. The business was started in 2001, by East Bay native and longtime Oakland resident Kevin Torrey. Kevin’s original name for the company was “Haulin’ Oates”, but rather than saddle the fledgling operation with potential brand confusion and a dated music reference, he eventually decided on “American Hauling”. But make no mistake: we’re local to the core. We are your neighborhood independent junk removal professionals, here to help you get rid of unwanted stuff. And we know the Bay Area in and out, so if we can’t help you, we’ll let you know who can.
5-star rating on Yelp, from real clients – no bribes, no coupon promo, no BS. Just good, honest service. Read our reviews.
We recycle and donate reusable items whenever possible, qualifying for all recycling programs including Green Halo certification.
We do light demolition (kitchens, floors, decks, patios, or other non-structural framing) if your stuff needs demo before it’s hauled away.
Kevin is a very nice gentleman and willing to go the extra mile with a smile on his face. Highly recommended!
To make an appointment or request a free estimate, please email Kevin, and if possible include your address, what type of material/items you need removed, your timeframe and availability, and whether or not there are any stairs or access issues, e-waste or unusual items, or any other special considerations.
For more urgent requests, feel free to call Kevin directly at (510) 220-1358 and leave a detailed message. If we don’t return your call immediately, we’ll usually get back to you by the end of the day. You can also email kjtorrey@yahoo.com.
