76-Unit Apartment Complex Cleanout in Placerville, CA
When property managers or contractors take on a large multifamily renovation, junk removal quickly becomes one of the biggest challenges. Heavy appliances, outdated fixtures, and construction debris pile up fast, and with residents still onsite, safety and logistics can easily spiral out of control.
From May through November, M&D Hauling provided apartment cleanout services in Placerville, California, for a 76-unit complex undergoing major renovations. The project required strict scheduling, careful coordination, and thousands of pounds of debris removal. Here’s how we kept the jobsite clean, safe, and on schedule.
Project Snapshot
Property: 76-unit apartment complex (Placerville, CA)
Timeline: May through November
Client: General contractor overseeing renovations
Scope: Removal of appliances, fixtures, windows, doors, and mixed construction debris
Outcome: Completed within deadlines while keeping parking lots open and residents safe
The Challenge
The construction contractor needed a full-service junk removal partner to handle multifamily cleanouts across 76 units. Debris included:
- 228 appliances, including refrigerators, dishwashers, stoves, washers, and dryers
- Toilets, sinks, doors, and light fixtures
- Thousands of pounds of windows and scrap metal
- Mixed construction debris staged indoors and outdoors
Adding complexity to the job:
- Tight parking lots that could not be blocked off
- Upstairs units requiring large appliances to be moved safely down staircases
- Summer heat during peak months of work
Residents on-site throughout the entire project, requiring extra safety measures
Our Cleanout Process in Placerville
M&D Hauling developed a strategy that prioritized safety, communication, and efficiency:
- Coordination: Worked closely with project managers to align with staging requirements and quiet hours.
- Access: Managed junk removal from both upstairs and ground-level units, plus fenced staging areas.
- Safety: Crews used PPE, secure loading practices, and constant sweeping to keep pathways clear.
- Equipment: Large-capacity dump trucks, appliance dollies, winch systems, and heavy-duty PPE made heavy lifting manageable.
Flexibility: Adjusted schedules to minimize disruption for residents and contractors.
Results
- 228 appliances recycled through proper facilities
- Approx. 5 tons of scrap metal diverted from landfill
- Parking lots remained open, unlike with roll-off dumpsters that block valuable space
- Project stayed on schedule, even during the heat and logistical challenges
- Peace of mind for property managers and contractors, knowing debris was handled safely and legally
Instead of cluttering the property with large roll-off dumpsters, our crews worked in and out efficiently, keeping the apartment complex safe and functional for both residents and contractors.
