Estate Cleanouts 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.
About 10.8% of Sacramento's housing units were built in 1939 or earlier (ACS 2020-2024 5-year).
Appliances and e-waste are not taken in the city junk pickup and need a separate appointment.
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 — entire contents of a house, garage, shed and yard, furniture from every room, decades of stored paperwork (shredding available) and appliances and electronics — 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. We work with executors, trustees, heirs and agents. Sorted, documented, and left broom-clean and listing-ready.
There is no soft number on the phone that turns into a harder one once our crew is standing in front of your house. That trick is old and it is well known, and it is a big part of why people dread this call in the first place.
What we take
- Entire contents of a house, garage, shed and yard
- Furniture from every room
- Decades of stored paperwork (shredding available)
- Appliances and electronics
- Clothing and linens (donated where possible)
- Garage workshop contents, tools and equipment
- Vehicles and equipment removal coordinated separately
What we can't
- Household hazardous waste — we flag it and tell you exactly where it goes
- Anything you have not authorized. Nothing leaves without a signed scope.
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.
Estate Cleanouts pricing in Sacramento
$1,800 – $6,500
Fixed written price after a walkthrough. Never hourly. Sacramento properties sit toward the middle of that range on average, but square footage and how full the property is matter far more than which city it is in.
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.

How a Sacramento job runs
- 1
Walkthrough and written scope
We walk the property with you — in person or on video if you are out of the area — and hand you a fixed, written price. No hourly surprises.
- 2
The set-aside pass
Before anything moves, we do a documented sweep for photos, documents, jewelry, firearms, cash and anything on your keep list. Found items are photographed and set aside, not guessed at.
- 3
The clear
Room by room. Donation-quality goods go to a receiving charity and you get the receipt for the deduction.
- 4
Photo-documented handoff
Before and after photos of every room, delivered the same day. If the property is going to probate court, an agent, or an out-of-state heir, this is the file that settles the questions.
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 do a Sacramento estate cleanout if I live out of state?
Yes, and a large share of our Sacramento work is exactly that. We do a video walkthrough before we start, photograph and set aside anything on your keep list, and send before-and-after photos of every room the same day. You never have to fly in.
How much is an estate cleanout?
Most whole-house cleanouts in San Joaquin and Sacramento counties land between $1,800 and $6,500 depending on square footage, how full the property is, and whether there is a garage, shed or yard involved. We give a fixed written price after a walkthrough — never an hourly rate that grows.
I am the executor and I live out of state. Can you handle this without me?
That is a large share of what we do. We work from a lockbox, send a video walkthrough before we start, photo-document the set-aside pass, and deliver before-and-after photos of every room. You never have to fly in.
What if you find something valuable?
We photograph it, set it aside, and call you before we touch anything else. Cash, jewelry, firearms, deeds, insurance policies, savings bonds and photo albums come out of these houses regularly. Our set-aside pass exists precisely because they do.
Can you work around a probate timeline?
Yes. If the property has not cleared probate yet we can do a secure-and-assess visit now and the full clear the day authority is granted. Tell us the hearing date and we will hold the slot.
Do you coordinate with the listing agent?
Routinely. We can deliver the property broom-clean on a date the agent picks, and we will send them the after photos directly so they can schedule the photographer.
