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.
What to expect
Hoarding cleanouts are as much about people as about stuff. We agree on what to keep before we start, work in unmarked vehicles on request, and never throw away anything you’ve asked us to save.
Our approach
How we work in a hoarding situation
Hoarding disorder is a recognized mental health condition, not a character flaw. Forcing a sudden clear-out without the person’s involvement often causes distress and the home fills again. When the resident is involved, we go at a pace they can accept.
- A private walkthrough first, with no judgment and no photos without permission.
- Agreed rules before we start: what must be saved, what can go without asking, and what needs a decision.
- Room-by-room clearing, starting with paths, exits and the kitchen and bathroom.
- Unmarked vehicles on request and no discussion of the job with neighbors.
- A clean of the cleared rooms so the home is safe and usable.
Safety
Safety issues we look for
Heavily packed homes can hide blocked exits, damaged floors, mold, pests, and spoiled food. Our crews wear protective gear and stop work when they find something that needs a specialist (for example, biohazards, needles or structural damage) so the right professional can handle it.
If a landlord, adult protective services or code enforcement has given a deadline, tell us. We can prioritize the areas that matter for the inspection.
For families
Helping a parent or relative
Families often call us after years of worry. It helps to frame the clean-out around safety and comfort (clear walkways, a working kitchen, a usable bathroom) rather than throwing things away. A therapist or professional organizer can work alongside us when that helps.
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
How much does a hoarder cleanout cost?
+
It depends on the size of the home and how full it is. We price it after a free, confidential walkthrough.
Can you work in stages?
+
Yes. Many hoarder cleanouts happen over several visits so the resident can make decisions without feeling rushed.
Is it confidential?
+
Yes. We don’t photograph the home without permission and use unmarked vehicles when asked.
What if the person doesn’t want help?
+
We won’t force a cleanout on someone who lives in the home. We can talk with the family about a gradual plan, often starting with safety areas.
Do you clean after the clear-out?
+
Yes. Most hoarder cleanouts finish with a deep clean (from $300) so the kitchen and bathrooms are usable again.
