Why Apex Home Point
Clear it out, then clean it: one crew
We’re the Sacramento junk removal company that also cleans. Landlords, realtors and families clearing a home can book the haul-out and a move-out or deep clean together: one appointment, one invoice.
Why the city won’t take it
The City of Sacramento’s household junk pickup excludes concrete, brick, dirt, rock and contractor or commercial waste. Not picked up: concrete, brick, dirt, rock, sod, auto parts, tires on rims, and contractor or commercial waste.
Recycling remodel debris
California’s building code requires recycling of a large share of construction debris on permitted projects. We separate metal, clean wood and cardboard from the rest of the load.
Haul it, then clean it
Pair debris removal with post-construction cleaning: we haul the leftovers, then remove the fine dust. Post-construction cleaning starts at $299.
The rules
Construction waste recycling rules in California
California’s green building code (CALGreen) requires most permitted new construction and many additions and alterations to recycle or salvage at least 65% of non-hazardous construction and demolition waste. If your project has a permit, your contractor or city may ask for disposal receipts showing where the debris went.
We sort loads so metal, clean wood and cardboard can be recycled, and we can provide receipts when you need them for your permit file.
Older homes
Asbestos and lead in older Sacramento homes
Many Sacramento-area homes were built before 1980, when materials such as popcorn ceilings, some vinyl flooring, pipe insulation and some drywall compounds could contain asbestos. Homes built before 1978 may also have lead paint. Disturbing these materials can release hazardous dust.
We don’t remove or haul materials known or suspected to contain asbestos. That requires a licensed abatement contractor. If you’re remodeling an older home, test suspect materials first. Once they’re cleared, we haul the remaining debris.
Typical loads
What different projects usually produce
| Project | Typical load | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Bathroom vanity and toilet swap | Minimum–¼ truck | $75–$250 |
| Full bathroom remodel | ½ truck | $250–$375 |
| Kitchen cabinet and counter tear-out | ½–¾ truck | $250–$475 |
| Whole-home carpet removal | ½–full truck | $250–$600 |
Tile, plaster and concrete are much heavier than wood or drywall, so dense loads are quoted on what they actually are.
Compare your options
Cheapest way to get rid of it: DIY, dumpster, city pickup or a hauler?
| Option | What it really costs | Best when |
|---|---|---|
| Haul it yourself | Truck rental or your own vehicle, fuel, transfer station fees, and your time and back | You have a truck, helpers and only a few items |
| Rent a dumpster | Rental for several days; a permit if it sits on the street; you still do all the loading | Long projects like a remodel where debris builds up over weeks |
| City or county curbside pickup | Free within yearly limits, but you carry everything to the curb and wait for an appointment | You can wait, can lift it yourself, and the pile fits the size limit |
| Apex Home Point | $75–$150 to $450–$600 by truck space, firm price on-site; we do all the lifting | You want it gone soon, it’s inside the home, or it’s too heavy or too much |
Many people mix options: they use the free curbside pickup for one bulky item, and book us for the rest of the garage or the heavy pieces upstairs.
Free options first
Free bulky item pickup across the Sacramento area
Before you pay anyone, check whether your city’s free curbside program fits. Rules differ by city:
| Where you live | Free pickups | How to book |
|---|---|---|
| City of Sacramento (including Natomas) | 2 household junk appointments a year, February–October; appliances and e-waste booked separately | Sacramento 311 |
| Unincorporated county (Carmichael, Fair Oaks, Orangevale, Arden-Arcade, Antelope, North Highlands) | 1 pickup per 12 months, up to 5 cubic yards | (916) 875-5555 |
| Elk Grove | Up to 3 a year, up to 5 cubic yards each | Republic Services, (916) 635-2500 |
| Folsom | Up to 3 a year for single-family homes, up to 5 cubic yards each | City of Folsom |
| Citrus Heights | 3 a year | Republic Services, (916) 638-9000 |
| Rancho Cordova | Scheduled through the city’s hauler | Atlas Disposal, (916) 288-2800 |
| Roseville, Rocklin, West Sacramento | Programs vary | Your city’s solid waste department |
Curbside programs need you to carry everything to the curb, wait for an appointment and stay under the size limit. Hire us when items are inside the home, when you need them gone sooner, or when the pile is bigger than the limit.

What to expect
How a junk pickup works, start to finish
- 1You text a photo or book a time. We reply with a price range based on how much truck space the load looks like it needs.
- 2We call or text when the crew is on the way, inside the arrival window you picked.
- 3The crew looks at everything in person and gives a firm price before anything is lifted. If it’s less than the range, you pay less; if you decide not to go ahead, there’s no charge.
- 4We carry everything out (from bedrooms, upstairs, the garage, the backyard or a storage unit) and protect doorways and floors along the way.
- 5We sweep or rake the spot where the items were, then sort the load: donation, recycling, and only what’s left goes to a licensed transfer station.
Most single-item and small-load pickups take under an hour on site. A full garage or a whole-home cleanout usually takes a few hours to a full day, depending on how much sorting you want done on the spot.
Questions
Frequently asked questions

Do you take concrete?
+
Small amounts, yes. Large amounts of concrete, dirt or rock are heavy and quoted separately.
Do you work with contractors?
+
Yes. We haul for homeowners and contractors, and can schedule repeat pickups during a project.
Can you pick up debris during a remodel, not just at the end?
+
Yes. Many homeowners book one pickup after demolition and another at the end.
Do you take roofing shingles?
+
Small amounts. Roofing is very heavy, so larger amounts are quoted by load.
