Good communication to coordinate. Had to coordinate because we found that we had a bees' nest and needed to remove first. They also needed to make sure they had the right vehicle for hauling.

They came in and out of the house, tracking dirt on my white carpet. They were totally unconcerned about the mud. They looked for the ants and sprayed but the treatment didn't work.

I have used Hauling away three times now and have been overly satisfied each time. The first time I was contemplating having a large dumpster dropped off at the house and filling it myself with debris from a recent home remodel. After finding out that a permit was required for the dumpster I...

They did a wonderful job pressure washing my driveway. It had a lot of oil stains and dirt spots that I couldn't get rid of with the hose. My backyard also had stains in the concrete that they were able to remove. I'm happy with the service I received and would use them again if needed.

Our water heater died on a Saturday (of course) so we searched around for someone who could replace it over the weekend. We found Water Heaters Only on Angies List and saw the stellar reviews. I called them and immediately spoke to a human (Bill) who was very helpful and scheduled us for...

John Schott was very punctual and professional as he responded to our need to have some yard debri hauled away. He arrived whae he said he would, took everything that he agreed to, cleaned up and charged exactly what he estimated which was the lowest price we could find.

I have used Wayne on two occasions. I do clean outs of homes and at times need Wayne's assistance. He has several different trucks. In both situations Wayne was there with his crew and did good work. I found Wayne through Craig's list. I do not have the time to research or compare prices....

"These people are competent but their ethics are highly questionable. I posted a job description on yelp and tendered offers from many plumbers John's Plumbing replied and agreed to do the work for a specified price. The work consisted of two parts. After they had done the first, they told me it was best to wait until the bathroom wall was tiled before doing the second and assured me they would return. After tiling was complete and I requested they come and finish the work they surprisingly told me it would cost another $500. Miscommunications can of course occur but in this case the scope of work was given to them in detail and clearly included both parts. This is not only highly unprofessional but outright dishonest. While they may be competent I would advise people to consider choosing another company for their plumbing needs that has a higher ethical standard."

FAQs for dirt hauling projects in Santa Monica, CA
The kinds of items or materials accepted will vary by hauling company. Some companies will not handle hazardous waste, but hiring ones that do will cost from $5 to $100 or more, depending on what type and quantity of material.
Most companies will haul items such as:
Construction and remodeling waste: $100–$600
Appliances: $50–$600
Furniture: $50–$400
Electronics: $60–$200
Yard waste: $70–$500
Unfortunately, some plumbing scenarios, like a broken sewer pipe repair, will require excavation to complete the job. Plumbing excavation costs range from $30 to $70 per cubic foot. However, if you need additional trenching, expect to pay an extra $4 to $12 per linear foot. Keep in mind that these costs are on top of the plumbing repair costs, and they don’t account for labor costs. Consult your excavation specialist to determine an accurate estimate for your job.
The cost to hire a professional junk hauling service ranges from $60 to $600, averaging about $270. Your final price is determined by the type of junk, amount of junk, the distance to the dumpsite, and the equipment required to move and haul your items or materials. Keep in mind that construction junk removal is more expensive than hauling household items, so expect to pay $800 for removing large piles of debris.
The average cost for pool excavation is $2,500. This cost can range from $450 to $4,500, depending on the pool shape and size, time of year, and any need to move buried utilities.
When excavating for your pool, you might have to move existing utilities. You can expect to pay an additional $15 to $25 per linear foot to move gas lines. To move a septic system, it’ll cost an additional $2,000 to $20,000. A pool that is 10 feet by 12 feet averages $450 to excavate, and a 20-foot-by-40-foot pool averages $3,020.
The cost for residential excavation is $3,200 on average, ranging between $50 and $200 per cubic yard. Total costs could range from $500 to $15,000, depending on the project type, yard size, and soil type.
When a project needs an excavator, the contractor will subcontract one as part of the larger project. If you hire an excavation specialist, you can expect to pay between $40 and $180 per hour. When excavating, if you have soil with excessive rocks or clay deposits, expect an additional cost of $200 to $1,200.
