Dumpster rental and junk removal in Sugarloaf

We offer dumpster rental, haul away junk and move equipment and materials in Sugarloaf, the wooded neighborhood less than a mile south of Big Bear City. Elevated Hauling & Disposal is local, and owned and run by a USMC veteran and firefighter.

At about 7,100 feet, Sugarloaf sits higher than the lake towns, and many homes here are part-time cabins. Plan the dumpster around snow, trees and County road rules, and call or text if anything about your spot is tricky.

Its own neighborhood, south of Big Bear City

Sugarloaf takes its name from Sugarloaf Mountain and has its own ZIP code, 92386. It is unincorporated San Bernardino County, and the Census counts it inside the large Big Bear City census area, which is why some sources list 92386 under Big Bear City. You reach it through Big Bear City from Highways 18 and 38.

Wikipedia, citing older Census figures, notes that only about two in nine Sugarloaf households were full-time. Many homes here are part-time cabins, which means cleanouts timed to an owner's visit, small remodels, and lots that need clearing before fire season.

Snow at 7,100 feet

Sugarloaf's town center sits at about 7,100 feet, the highest of the four Big Bear Valley towns we serve. Coming up from Redlands, Highway 38 crosses Onyx Summit at 8,443 feet before it drops into the valley.

In storms, Caltrans chain controls apply on the approach highways, and under R-1 controls every vehicle towing a trailer must chain a drive axle. The County works primary roads first and does not plow private roads, so if you live on a private road, arrange your own plowing before delivery and pickup. Clear the dumpster's spot and a path to it, and remember that plows push berms across driveways. We confirm every delivery and pickup day by call or text.

Getting the dumpster onto a wooded lot

Our dumpsters arrive on a trailer behind a pickup and need overhead room to unload. Before delivery, tell us about low branches, wires, tight turns and how steep the driveway is. A photo of the spot is the fastest way to sort it out.

Keep the dumpster off the road. A dumpster in a County road right-of-way needs a County Transportation Encroachment Permit, so we place the dumpster on your driveway or property by default.

Weed abatement on Sugarloaf lots

The Big Bear Fire Department handles defensible-space inspections in Sugarloaf, as it does across the valley except Fawnskin, and mailed weed-abatement notices again in 2026, vacant lots included. CAL FIRE's map puts Sugarloaf's reference point in a Very High fire hazard severity zone, and the 2015 Lake Fire burned 31,359 acres off Highway 38, south of Big Bear Lake.

Clearing a wooded lot builds a pile fast. Our owner is a firefighter: call or text a photo before you load yard waste so we can work out what goes in the dumpster.

Questions

Dumpster questions from Sugarloaf

Is Sugarloaf part of Big Bear City?

Not quite. Sugarloaf is its own unincorporated neighborhood with its own ZIP code, 92386, less than a mile south of Big Bear City, though the Census counts it inside the Big Bear City census area. We serve both, and you can choose Sugarloaf as your town when you book.

Can you deliver a dumpster to Sugarloaf in winter?

Snow can move the day. Under Caltrans R-1 chain controls, any vehicle towing a trailer must chain a drive axle, and County crews plow primary roads first and do not plow private roads. We confirm every delivery and pickup day by call or text.

Before we come, clear the spot and a path to it, and make sure a private road has been plowed.

Who inspects defensible space in Sugarloaf?

The Big Bear Fire Department, which handles defensible-space inspections across Big Bear Valley except Fawnskin. Its 2026 weed-abatement notices cover vacant lots too, and it warns that a citation can come without a notice of violation first.

How do I plan a Sugarloaf cabin clear-out?

Start with what is going: a single room, a garage or shed, a full cabin, a remodel or a deck tear-out. Furniture and boxes are bulky but mostly light, while decking, tile and anything wet add weight, and disposal is billed by weight after the load is dumped.

Not sure how to plan it? Text a photo of the rooms or the pile to (909) 284-4597 and we will help.

Where is the nearest transfer station to Sugarloaf?

The County's Big Bear Transfer Station at 38550 Holcomb Valley Road, about a mile and a half north of Baldwin Lake on the northeast side of the valley. The County lists it as open Monday to Saturday, 8:00 am to 4:30 pm, and closed on major holidays. Check the County's page for current hours and fees.
