Yes, County Line Junk Disposal hauls junk all around Lake Livingston, from the Onalaska shoreline down through Point Blank and across to the Livingston side. Pricing goes by load size: $95 for a single item, $175 a quarter load, $325 a half, $475 for three-quarters, and $650 for a packed full trailer. Travel is free inside 25 miles of Trinity, which reaches most of the lake, and past that line, out to the edge of our 50-mile area, we add about $2 a mile, quoted before we ever roll a wheel.
Lake property is its own kind of hauling. Furniture sits in the damp for a season and gets heavy, docks rot at the waterline, and every big blow drops limbs across the yard between the cabin and the boathouse. We are based up in Trinity, a short run from the north end of the lake, and Greg answers the phone himself. Here is how we work the whole reservoir, what it costs, and what we can take off your hands.
Do you serve the whole Lake Livingston shoreline?
Yes. We run the full lake: Onalaska on the northwest end, Point Blank down south, and the Livingston side to the east, plus the neighborhoods tucked between them. Most of that shoreline sits inside our free 25-mile travel zone.
Lake Livingston is big water, close to 90,000 acres when it is full, and the communities ring the whole thing. Up on the north and west you have Onalaska, Cape Royale, and Waterwood. Down south near the dam sits Point Blank. Over on the east shore is Livingston proper and the state park. We cover all of it.
From our yard in Trinity, the north end of the lake is roughly a twenty-minute drive, so Onalaska and the closer subdivisions land inside the free-travel zone with room to spare. The far corners, the deep south end past the dam or the outer edge of the Livingston side, can run past the 25-mile mark, and that is where the small per-mile travel kicks in. We tell you which side of that line you are on when you call, so no mystery fee ever rides along on the bill.
What we haul off a lake property
Waterlogged furniture, dead appliances, rotted dock boards, dead boats and trailers (see our guide to getting rid of an old boat around the lake), and whole-cabin cleanouts. If two people can wrestle it out to the trailer, it can go, with a few honest exceptions.
A lake place collects a particular kind of clutter. Here is the short list of what rides back with us most often:
- Soggy couches, recliners, and mattresses that soaked up a humid summer by the water
- Old fridges, chest freezers, and window units pulled from the cabin or the boathouse
- Rotted dock boards, posts, and rusted railing once you have them off
- Cracked kayaks, foam floats, torn boat covers, and busted patio furniture
- Full seasonal cleanouts when a rental turns over or a place changes hands
What we skip is worth saying too. We are not set up for biohazard cleanup, and we do not pull anything out of the water itself or dive a sunken dock. We handle what is on the bank and up in the yard. Mattresses run a $30 add-on each, and a fridge or freezer with freon is $35 on top since that gas has to be handled right, and we say both out loud before we load. The full run-down of what we take lives on the services page.
Storm debris and downed limbs after a blow
After a storm clears the lake, we run our Mahindra tractor for downed limbs and brush and haul the fence sections, shingles, and yard debris out in the dump trailer. Document it for your records first, then call.
Weather comes across Lake Livingston hard. A line of storms will snap limbs, peel shingles, and lay a cedar down across the drive between the house and the dock. Once it is safe to walk the yard, take photos for your own records, then get the pile cleared before it turns into a hazard or a home for snakes.
We bring more than a trailer to that kind of work. Greg runs a Mahindra tractor for light clearing, so downed limbs and dragged brush get gathered and loaded without forty trips by wheelbarrow. Heavy storm debris like torn-off roofing and wet lumber gets weighed and quoted, since a trailer of shingles rides a lot heavier than a trailer of brush. Photos texted to (936) 259-3200 get you a ballpark quote today, and we book the haul fast, especially after a big one when the whole lake is digging out.
What junk removal costs around Lake Livingston
The same load-size ladder applies at the lake: $95 for a single item up to $650 for a full trailer, with free travel inside 25 miles of Trinity and about $2 a mile past that. You pay for the space your load fills, confirmed on site.
No hourly meter, no add-it-up-at-the-tailgate surprise. We look at the pile, tell you which rung it lands on, and that is the number. A single item is $95. A quarter load, roughly a pickup bed, is $175. Half is $325, three-quarters $475, and a packed full trailer is $650. New customers take 15% off the first job.
The one thing that shifts at the lake is travel. Inside 25 miles of Trinity you pay zero for the drive, and most of the north end qualifies. Farther out toward the south end or the far Livingston shore, we add about $2 a mile to the edge of our 50-mile area, quoted up front so it never sneaks onto the total. If you want the whole pricing breakdown, we wrote it all out in what junk removal costs in Trinity County.
Why go with a local hauler at the lake?
A local outfit answers its own phone, knows the back roads and gated subdivisions, and gives you a firm price before lifting a thing. You reach Greg directly, the same man who pulls up in the Ram.
Lake roads are their own puzzle. Half the subdivisions are gated, the driveways run long, and a national dispatcher routing a truck from a city an hour off has no idea where the Cape Royale gate is or how tight the turn gets down to your boathouse. When you call us, the phone rings to Greg, and the person quoting the job is the same person showing up in the Ram with the dump trailer.
Before you hand a hauler your business, it pays to know what to ask: upfront pricing, who actually shows up, where your stuff ends up. We put that short list together in five questions to ask before hiring a junk hauler. We answer every one of them the same way, plainly.

Questions we hear a lot
Not for most of the lake. Travel is free inside 25 miles of Trinity, and the north end near Onalaska sits comfortably inside that zone. If your place is out past the dam or on the far Livingston side, past the 25-mile line, we add about $2 a mile to the lake edge and quote it up front before you book. No surprise trip fee ever lands on the bill.
Yes. Once you have pulled the rotted dock boards, posts, and railing, we load and haul them like any other debris. Same with cracked kayaks, foam floats, torn boat covers, and busted patio furniture. We do not pull structures out of the water or dive a sunken dock, but anything up on the bank or in the yard is fair game.
The north end of the lake is about a twenty-minute run from our yard in Trinity, so we reach the closer communities quickly. Text photos to (936) 259-3200 and we will send a ballpark quote the same day, then set a haul time that works. We book fast, especially after storms when the whole lake needs clearing.
We do. When a rental turns over or a lake place changes hands, we clear the furniture, appliances, and leftover clutter in one visit, priced by how much space it fills in the trailer. A quarter load runs $175 and a half load $325, told to you firm on site before we start lifting.
The whole reservoir: Onalaska and the northwest subdivisions, Point Blank down south by the dam, and the Livingston side to the east, plus the smaller communities in between. It all falls inside our 50-mile service area out of Trinity, and most of it inside the free 25-mile travel zone.
