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.
Mattress recycling in California
California runs a statewide mattress recycling program (Bye Bye Mattress, operated by the Mattress Recycling Council), funded by a fee on new mattresses. Participating drop-off sites accept used mattresses free. We bring the mattresses we collect to recycling so the steel, foam and fabric are reused.
If you can transport it yourself, a free drop-off site is the cheapest option. If not, we pick it up from the bedroom.
Can you leave a mattress at the curb in Sacramento?
Only with a scheduled pickup. City of Sacramento residential customers get two free household junk pickup appointments per year, available February through October (appointments stop in mid-October for leaf season). Appliances and e-waste are booked separately, also free, twice a year, year-round. Book through 311 or Sac311.org; piles can be no larger than 4 × 4 × 9 feet and go out no earlier than 24 hours before the appointment.
Setting out a mattress without an appointment can lead to a fine.
Your options
Four ways to get rid of a mattress in Sacramento
| Option | Cost | Good when |
|---|---|---|
| Drop it at a Bye Bye Mattress collection site | Free | You have a truck or a large SUV |
| Retailer take-back when a new mattress is delivered | Often free or a small fee | You’re buying new and the store offers it |
| City of Sacramento bulky pickup appointment | Free, limited per year | You can wait for an appointment and carry it to the curb |
| Apex Home Point pickup | $150–$250 for a set; less with other items | You want it gone today, from the bedroom |
Ask about take-back at the store before you buy a new mattress: California law requires retailers to offer to take back a used mattress when they deliver a new one, so it may be the cheapest route.
Bed bugs
Mattresses with bed bugs
We can remove a mattress with bed bugs if it is fully sealed in a zippered mattress encasement or heavy plastic before we arrive, and you tell us when you book. This protects our crew and the next home we visit. Removing the mattress doesn’t treat the infestation; a licensed pest control company should treat the room.
Good to know
What happens to a recycled mattress
Recyclers cut mattresses apart and separate the steel springs, foam, fiber and wood. Steel goes to scrap metal, foam can become carpet padding, and wood frames from box springs can be chipped. That’s why mattresses don’t belong in landfills, and why we take them to recycling rather than mixing them into general loads.
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.
