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.

At the facility
How a storage unit cleanout works
- 1Check the facility’s hours, gate code rules and whether vendors need to be added to your access list.
- 2Meet us at the unit, or authorize us with the facility and share the lock combination.
- 3Pull out anything you’re keeping first; we load everything else.
- 4We sweep the unit so you can return it broom-clean and end your rental.
Some facilities charge a cleaning fee or keep a deposit if a unit is left dirty or with items inside. Leaving it empty and swept avoids that.
The math
Is your storage unit worth keeping?
Add up what you pay per month and multiply by how long you’ve had the unit. Many people find they’ve paid more in rent than the contents are worth. A one-time cleanout (usually less than a few months of rent) ends the bill for good.
Inherited or bought a unit?
Auction units and inherited units
If you bought a unit at auction or inherited one, you usually have to empty it quickly. We can clear it on short notice, set aside items worth selling, and donate or recycle the rest.
Before it’s gone
What to check before you empty a storage unit
- Boxes of papers: tax records, titles, deeds and photos are easy to miss.
- Furniture drawers and pockets of bags or coats.
- Items that may have resale value: tools, collectibles, antiques.
- The facility’s move-out rules and final rent date, so you don’t pay another month.
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 storage unit cleanout cost?
+
Usually $250–$375 for a 5×10 and $450–$600 for a full 10×20.
Do I need to be there?
+
Not always. If the facility allows it and you give us access, we can clear the unit and send photos when it’s done.
Can you move some items to my home instead?
+
We remove and dispose of items rather than relocating them. For moving items, use a moving company.
What if I can’t open the lock?
+
You or the facility must open it. We don’t cut locks.
Can you clear more than one unit on the same day?
+
Yes. If you have several units at one facility, or units at different facilities nearby, we can usually clear them in one trip and price them as one job by total truck space.
How long does a storage unit cleanout take?
+
A 5×10 usually takes about an hour; a full 10×20 can take two to three hours.
