Junk Removal in Fair Oaks

Fair Oaks began in 1895 as one of the “Sunset Colonies” promoted by the Howard-Wilson Publishing Company, mostly citrus farms at the time. The “Red Bridge” over the American River went up in 1901, and citrus stayed the main business until freezes in 1932 and 1934 killed many of the groves. Today about 200 chickens roam the village and get their own festival every September. 32,514 people lived in Fair Oaks in the 2020 census.

Fair Oaks gets one free county bulky pickup a year. Garage and shed clean-outs on bigger lots usually need more than that, so our crew hauls it, priced by truck space.

Larger Fair Oaks lots usually come with larger garages and sheds, and those fill up over the years. We can haul out what you don’t want and clean the space on the same visit.

Our truck is divided into fractions, and you pay for the space your items take, not by the hour. A single armchair is a minimum load; a sofa or mattress is about a quarter truck; a one-car garage is often three-quarters to a full truck.

Households in unincorporated Sacramento County get one curbside bulky waste pickup per 12 months, up to 5 cubic yards (8 × 4 × 4 feet), by appointment. Extra pickups and larger piles cost extra. Schedule by calling (916) 875-5555 (weekdays 8 a.m.–4:30 p.m.) or emailing utilities@SacCounty.net, and set items out no more than 24 hours ahead.

Piles set out early or without an appointment are charged a fee.

Free curbside programs are a good deal if you can carry everything to the curb, wait for an appointment and stay under the size limit. Hire us when you need it gone today, when items are inside the home or upstairs, when the load is bigger than the curbside limit, or when you’ve used up your free pickups.

We sort every load. Usable furniture and household goods are donated where possible, metals and appliances go to recyclers, mattresses go through California’s mattress recycling program, and only what’s left goes to a licensed transfer station.

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.

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 clean together, from $400 for the clean, with one crew and one invoice.

Much of our work in Fair Oaks is helping people at the moments a home changes hands: tenants moving out, owners getting a rental ready for the next tenant, sellers preparing for listing photos, and new owners or renters moving in. We clean houses, apartments, condos and offices: empty or furnished.

One company for the clean-out and the clean means one appointment, one crew and one invoice. Move-out cleaning starts at $400; junk removal at $75.

1. 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.
2. 2We call or text when the crew is on the way, inside the arrival window you picked.
3. 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.
4. 4We carry everything out (from bedrooms, upstairs, the garage, the backyard or a storage unit) and protect doorways and floors along the way.
5. 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.
