Junk removal & cleanouts in
Sacramento, CA
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.

What we do in Sacramento
Every service below is priced the same way: a fixed written number before anyone drives out.
Sacramento pricing
Most junk removal companies in this market will not put a price on their website. We will. You get the exact number in writing before anyone touches anything, and it does not move unless the pile does.
| Load size | About | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum load | Up to 1/8 of the trailer: a couch and a chair, a few boxes, or a small curbside pile. One fee item on its own (a mattress, an appliance) is also the minimum. | $200 |
| Quarter load | A bedroom of furniture, or a modest garage corner. | $275 |
| Half load | A one-car garage, a living room, or a small shed. | $425 |
| Three-quarter load | A packed two-car garage or a large room plus yard debris. | $595 |
| Full trailer | A full trailer with side extensions — more than a national-brand 'full truck'. | $775 |

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 $109.25 at Western Placer Waste Management Authority. 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.
