Construction & Demolition Debris Removal in Sacramento
Sacramento housing runs from the pre-1940 bungalows of Curtis Park and East Sacramento — about one home in nine citywide predates 1940 — to North Natomas subdivisions built after the mid-1990s. City junk pickup gives each household two appointments a year, capped at a 4×4×9-foot pile. An estate or a full garage is usually bigger than that.
The city household junk pickup runs February through October.
About 10.8% of Sacramento's housing units were built in 1939 or earlier (ACS 2020-2024 5-year).
About 212,000 homes. 11% built in 1939 or earlier, 7% in the 1940s, 12% in the 1950s; 23% since 2000. Pre-war core (Curtis Park, East Sacramento, Land Park); South Natomas 1950s-80s; North Natomas from the mid-1990s.
Whatever Sacramento throws at us — drywall, lumber and framing scrap, cabinets, countertops and fixtures, flooring, tile, carpet and padding and roofing and siding — the job runs the same way. You send a photo or a short description, we send back a fixed number, and if you say yes we show up in a tight window and do the lifting. Scheduled service or on-call. Weight tickets on every load.
We do not do the "starting at" quote over the phone, followed by a bigger number once the crew is already parked in your driveway and saying no feels awkward. That switch is common enough in this trade that it is the reason a lot of people put off calling anyone.
What we take
- Drywall, lumber and framing scrap
- Cabinets, countertops and fixtures
- Flooring, tile, carpet and padding
- Roofing and siding
- Concrete, brick and masonry (heavy tier)
- Windows and doors
- Landscape and hardscape demolition debris
- Interior demo tear-out
What we can't
- Asbestos-containing material — that requires a licensed abatement contractor and we will tell you who
- Contaminated soil
Nobody legitimate takes household hazardous waste on a junk run — it has to go through a county HHW event. We separate it out, stack it where you can find it, and tell you the nearest drop-off date instead of quietly leaving it in a corner.

Where your Sacramento junk actually goes
Most of what leaves a Sacramento job goes to North Area Recovery Station (NARS) in North Highlands, at a posted gate rate of $89.90 per ton as of 2026-01-01. North Area Recovery Station (NARS) is open seven days a week, which is why we can run Sacramento jobs on a Sunday when almost nobody else in this market will.
Hauling it yourself instead? What NARS charges and takes is laid out gate-side, with the effective date on every fee.
Before that, usable furniture and appliances go to donation, and metal, cardboard, e-waste and green waste get separated out. We keep the weight tickets on every load and we will hand them to you if you want to see them — that is not something most haulers offer and it is the fastest way to tell whether someone is actually disposing legally or dumping on a county road.
Why this matters to your price: gate rates across our service area range from $40.64 a ton at Foothill Sanitary Landfill to $107.76 at the most expensive transfer station in Lodi. Routing loads to the right gate is most of the difference between a hauler who can hold a price and one who surprises you at the end.

Sacramento questions
How fast can you get to Sacramento?
Sacramento is about 45 minutes from our Lodi base, so it is inside our normal daily route rather than an out-of-area trip. That is the practical reason we can hold same-day and next-day slots here when a Sacramento-based company quoting the same job is adding an hour of windshield time each way.
Where does the debris from a Sacramento job go?
North Area Recovery Station (NARS) in North Highlands, currently $89.90 per ton as of 2026-01-01. It is open seven days, which is why Sunday service is available in this area. Donation-quality items go to a receiving charity first, and metal, cardboard, e-waste and green waste are separated out. We keep the weight ticket on every load.
Can you park a trailer on my jobsite for the whole build?
Yes, and that is the cheapest way to do it on a long remodel. $575 a week plus disposal, with swaps at $195 plus the load.
Do you handle heavy material like concrete and tile?
Yes, on a weight tier rather than a volume price — $95 per ton over the first ton. Concrete is dense enough that a half-full trailer is a full legal load, so it has to be priced that way.
Can you clean up before an inspection?
That is most of what this service is. Give us the inspection date and we will be there the day before.
Do you provide weight tickets for diversion reporting?
Yes. If your permit requires a construction waste management plan with diversion percentages, tell us at the start and we will route loads to a facility that reports it and give you the documentation.
