North State Hauling Voted Best of Oakley: What This Local Award Means to Us

North State Hauling is proud to have earned the 2026 Best of Oakley Gold Medal Award, recognizing us as the community’s first-place choice for junk removal. The Best of Oakley awards are presented annually by The Press, the area’s largest and most established local newspaper, based on votes from people in the community.

For a truly local, owner-operated company, this recognition means far more than adding another badge to our website. It means the neighbors we serve took the time to choose North State Hauling as the best in our category.

We built our company around a simple promise: provide Oakley residents and businesses with honest pricing, dependable service and a better local alternative to large national junk-removal franchises. Being voted Best of Oakley tells us that approach is making a real difference.

Why the Best of Oakley Award Matters

The Best of Oakley Gold Medal is a community-voted award—not an award a company can simply purchase or claim for itself. Local residents vote for the businesses they believe provide the best service, value and overall customer experience in their respective categories.

That makes this honor especially meaningful to our team. Every vote represents a neighbor, customer or local supporter who trusted North State Hauling enough to put our name first.

The award also works hand in hand with our customer feedback online. Among junk-removal companies in the Oakley area, no other company has both a higher rating and more customer reviews across Google and Yelp than North State Hauling. The Best of Oakley vote and our extensive review history tell the same story: local customers consistently recognize North State Hauling for honest pricing, reliable service and professional results.

A Truly Local and Owner-Operated Junk Removal Company

North State Hauling is not a national franchise pretending to be local. We are a locally owned and owner-operated company serving Oakley and the surrounding East Contra Costa County communities.

Local ownership affects every part of the customer experience. Our reputation is built one job and one neighbor at a time. We understand that when customers recommend us to friends, family members or neighbors, they are putting their own reputation behind that recommendation. That is why we work hard to provide clear communication, punctual arrivals, careful service and straightforward pricing on every job.

When you contact North State Hauling, you are supporting a local business whose owner and team are directly accountable to the community they serve.
