Four counties — El Dorado, Placer, Sacramento and Amador. If you’re near the edge of one, call anyway. The answer is usually yes.

Because ATS is owner-operated rather than a franchise with territories, the service area is set by drive time rather than by a map someone drew in an office. Most of these towns are inside an hour. If you’re at the outer edge — up a ridge road, out past the county line — it’s still worth a call, because the answer depends on the day and the size of the load rather than a rule.
Pricing is by the cubic yard with a $165 minimum, and distance is part of it — the further out, the more the drive costs. Send your town along with a list or a few photos and you'll get a firm total up front.
Some of what you want gone can be dropped off free, and some of it costs more than people expect — including a county surcharge on unsecured loads in El Dorado, and two Sacramento facilities that refuse each other's chemicals. I wrote the whole picture up county by county: which facility takes what, the free allowances, and where paint and pesticides actually have to go.
Every town runs its waste service differently — different free allowances, different drop-off rules, different things the local centre flatly refuses. Each page covers what your town already gives you for nothing, and where that runs out.
Call or text anyway. If it’s a reasonable drive, the answer is usually yes.
