About Steve

Steve Tofte is the founder and driving force behind M&D Hauling, a full-service junk removal and cleanout company serving Sacramento, El Dorado, and Placer Counties.


After a 20-year career in the tech industry as a production manager in semiconductor manufacturing, Steve stepped away from corporate life to build something that truly reflected his values: a business rooted in family, integrity, and local service.



Today, with nearly a decade of hands-on experience, Steve leads one of the most trusted junk removal companies in the region, helping clients tackle everything from single-item pickups to large-scale commercial cleanouts.

Why He Started M&D Hauling

After years of working in high-pressure corporate environments, Steve realized that even in leadership roles, he was ultimately replaceable. That realization sparked a desire to create something permanent—something personal.


M&D Hauling was founded on three core principles:


  1. Run clean and efficient operations

  2. Deliver service with integrity

  3. Support the community that supports us

With that foundation, the business has grown steadily through word-of-mouth and a reputation for showing up, working hard, and doing what’s right.

What Sets Us Apart

At M&D Hauling, we don’t just remove junk. We solve problems. Whether it's helping a family reclaim their space, supporting a business through a major transition, or clearing fire hazards before they become a threat, we take every job seriously and treat every client with respect.


We show up when we say we will, do what we promise, and leave your property better than we found it. We believe in transparency, fair pricing, and doing things the right way instead of the easy way. That’s why much of our business comes from referrals and repeat customers.


This is more than a job. It’s our name, our livelihood, and our way of making a positive impact in the community we call home.

Local Commitment

M&D Hauling is a family-owned and operated business built on strong local ties. Steve and his team regularly volunteer for:


  • Neighborhood cleanups

  • Fire risk abatement projects

  • Community improvement initiatives

Whether it’s donating time or bringing equipment to help a neighbor in need, community involvement is part of the mission.

Outside the Job

When he’s not on a job site or managing operations, Steve spends his time with his family on their small ranch. He enjoys working on home improvement projects and restoring old cars, a hobby he hopes to dedicate more time to in the future.
