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.
E-waste rules in California
Electronics with screens and circuit boards contain lead and other materials that California treats as hazardous waste, so they can’t go in your trash cart. They have to go to an e-waste collector or recycler.
City of Sacramento residents can book a free appliance and e-waste pickup appointment, separate from household junk pickup.
Data on old computers
Wipe or remove hard drives from computers before pickup. We can set drives aside for you if you ask.
What counts
What counts as e-waste, and what’s universal waste
| Item | Category | We take it? |
|---|---|---|
| Flat-screen and tube TVs, monitors, laptops | Covered electronic waste | Yes |
| Desktop computers, printers, keyboards, game consoles | Electronic waste | Yes |
| Stereos, DVD players, routers, small electronics | Electronic waste | Yes |
| Loose household batteries | Universal waste | No: drop-off site |
| Fluorescent tubes and CFL bulbs | Universal waste | No: drop-off site |
California bans electronics with screens and circuit boards from the trash, and also bans batteries and fluorescent bulbs from the trash as “universal waste.” We take electronics to an e-waste recycler; batteries and bulbs need to go to a household hazardous waste drop-off or a participating store.
Protect your data
Before you give away a computer or phone
- Back up anything you want to keep.
- Sign out of accounts and turn off device-tracking features so the next user isn’t locked out.
- Use the built-in reset to factory settings on laptops, tablets and phones.
- For old desktops, remove the hard drive and keep it, or ask us to set it aside for you to destroy.
Businesses
E-waste from offices
Offices replacing computers often have monitors, printers, cables and docking stations piling up in a closet. We remove them with the old desks and chairs in one after-hours visit, and can clean the space once it’s empty.
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
Can I throw a TV in the trash in Sacramento?
+
No. TVs and computer monitors are e-waste in California and must be recycled. The city offers free e-waste pickup appointments, or we can take them the same day.
Do you take old tube (CRT) TVs?
+
Yes. They’re heavy and contain leaded glass, so they go to an e-waste recycler, never the landfill.
Do you take microwaves and small appliances?
+
Yes. Microwaves, toasters and other small appliances are picked up with e-waste and recycled.
Is there a minimum for e-waste?
+
A pickup starts at a minimum load, $75–$150. Combining electronics with other junk is usually the best value.
Can you take e-waste from a home office or small business?
+
Yes. Monitors, printers, desktops, cables and old phones are picked up together and taken to an e-waste recycler. Set aside any drives you want to keep or destroy yourself.
