Garage Cleanouts in Citrus Heights
Citrus Heights stayed mostly rural through the 1960s, then filled in fast around Sunrise Mall and Birdcage Walk — 40% of its homes were built in the 1970s. Republic's neighborhood cleanup reaches each zone three times a year, but it caps a pile at 10 cubic yards, will not take hot tubs or construction debris, and wants nothing at the curb more than 48 hours early.
Neighborhood bulk pickup piles are limited to 10 cubic yards (about 10 x 7 x 4 ft); a larger pile carries a minimum $105.40 fee, and material goes out no more than 48 hours before the service day.
Citrus Heights became a regional retail destination in the 1970s with the opening of Sunrise Mall and Birdcage Walk, after remaining predominantly rural through the 1960s.
About 34,900 homes. 40% built in the 1970s, 21% in the 1980s; under 4% since 2000.
Whatever Citrus Heights throws at us — boxes, bins and bags of stored contents, broken and outdated furniture, exercise equipment and bikes and old paint (we tell you where it goes — we cannot take it) — the job runs the same way.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. One visit, one price, broom-swept when we leave.
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
- Boxes, bins and bags of stored contents
- Broken and outdated furniture
- Exercise equipment and bikes
- Old paint (we tell you where it goes — we cannot take it)
- Lumber, scrap, and leftover building material
- Lawn equipment and non-running mowers

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 Citrus Heights junk actually goes
Most of what leaves a Citrus Heights 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 Citrus Heights jobs on a Sunday when almost nobody else in this market will.
Hauling it yourself instead? The North Area Recovery Station (NARS) rules for self-haulers cover hours, payment and every posted 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.

Citrus Heights questions
How fast can you get to Citrus Heights?
Citrus Heights is about 55 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 Citrus Heights 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.
How much to clean out a two-car garage?
Most two-car garages run $375 to $895 depending on how full. If it is packed floor to ceiling it is closer to a small estate cleanout — we will tell you that in the quote rather than at the end.
Can you take the paint?
No, and neither can any legitimate hauler — it is household hazardous waste. San Joaquin and Sacramento counties both run free HHW drop-off days and we will tell you the nearest one. We separate it out and leave it neatly stacked rather than leaving you to find it.
Do you take the old fridge in the garage?
Yes. $90 for the freon handling, which is what the certified recovery costs us.
How long does it take?
Two to four hours for most garages. A hoarding-level garage is a different job and we will scope it separately.
