We lift, load and sweep
Our crew carries everything out from wherever it is and sweeps up after.
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.
Plan your garage cleanout
- 1Mark what stays (tape or a tarp works).
- 2Pull out paint, chemicals and batteries for hazardous waste drop-off.
- 3Text us a photo for a price.
- 4We sort, load and sweep, usually in a few hours.
Paint, chemicals, motor oil, fuel, batteries and fluorescent bulbs are household hazardous waste. We can’t haul them, but Sacramento County’s North Area Recovery Station (4450 Roseville Road) runs a free household hazardous waste drop-off. Check the county’s current hours before you go.
The garage reset
After the haul-out, add a floor and driveway wash (from $99) and the space is ready to use.
Keep, donate, haul
A simple system for sorting a packed garage
| Pile | What goes in it | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Keep | Tools, seasonal decorations and gear you used in the past year | Stays in the garage, grouped by use |
| Donate | Working furniture, bikes, sports gear, clean household goods | We take it to donation partners |
| Recycle | Scrap metal, old appliances, electronics, cardboard | Recyclers and e-waste |
| Haul | Broken items, worn-out furniture, general junk | Transfer station |
| Set aside | Paint, chemicals, fuel, batteries | You take it to hazardous waste drop-off |
You can do the sorting yourself, or stand in the driveway and point while we bring things out. Most families find the second way much faster.
Prices by garage
Garage cleanout prices by size
| Garage | Typical load | Price |
|---|---|---|
| A corner or one wall | ¼–½ truck | $150–$375 |
| One-car garage, half full | ½ truck | $250–$375 |
| One-car garage, full | ¾ truck | $350–$475 |
| Two-car garage, packed | Full truck or more | $450–$600 |
Sacramento summers
Plan around the heat
Sacramento garages can get extremely hot on summer afternoons. Morning appointments are easier on everyone, and anything heat-sensitive (candles, aerosols, electronics) is worth checking for damage as we sort.
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.
