A clear count. An exact price.

Count the bags and boxes, not everything inside.

A few simple choices turn a mixed pile into a clear booking. No need to estimate how much of a truck it might fill.

Filled bags and boxes

Count each trash bag or filled household box. Books and media go by the box. Clothes, bedding and shoes go by the filled bag. Toys packed together have a Box of toys choice. Ask us about unusually heavy or oversized bags and boxes first.

Empty cardboard and containers

Empty cardboard is a different choice: choose single empty boxes or tied bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Compacted bales have their own weight-based choices and require loading-dock access. A Storage bin choice covers the empty bin itself; ask us to confirm the contents if they are going too.

Furniture and other larger items

Add the actual larger item alongside your bags and boxes, such as a sofa, chair or mattress. It has its own price and preparation. Keep construction materials and items needing special handling out of ordinary household bags.

Mixed bulky items by appointment

Accepted with preparation

Bulky household material that is too large for the garbage cart is collected by appointment, including furniture, mattresses and a spa or hot tub cut into quarters.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. One appointment for up to five cubic yards of acceptable items is included in the standard residential curbside collection service every 12 months, and the 12-month period starts on the date the service is used rather than on January 1. Additional appointments, and material beyond five cubic yards, are charged at the current residential rates, and 15 cubic yards is the maximum accepted at one pickup.
When & how
By appointment only. Call customer service Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at 916-875-5555, submit the online appointment request or use the SacGreenTeam app, and have the material out by 6 a.m. no more than 24 hours before the appointment day. Adding appliances, e-waste, fluorescent tubes, clean lumber, trimmings or tires to an appointment, or changing or cancelling one, requires a call to a representative at least one day ahead, because email and voicemail are not accepted.
Get it ready
Place the pile in front of the property line on the same side of the street, one foot from the curb or pavement edge on a flat hard surface, six feet from cars, mailboxes, fences, poles and other objects, with 14.5 feet of overhead clearance, and keep sidewalks, traffic lanes and gutters clear. Keep pipes, lumber and tree or shrub trimmings under four inches wide and five feet long, keep treated wood out of clean wood, empty appliances of trash and tape or tie large appliance doors shut, and leave business waste, concrete, dirt, rocks, bricks, tree stumps, glass panes and mirrors, hot ashes, liquids, hazardous waste and anything that already fits a garbage, organics or recycling cart out of the pile.

Weekly garbage, organics and recycling carts

Accepted with preparation

Unincorporated addresses receive weekly garbage and organics collection and every-other-week recycling, with heavy material, liquids, electronics and hazardous waste excluded from the garbage cart.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Cart service is part of the monthly residential curbside collection rate, which the county listed at $36.63 per month for a 30-gallon garbage cart, $41.03 for 60 gallons and $49.85 for 90 gallons as of July 1, 2025, with one organics cart and one recycling cart included. Additional carts, overflow cart service and return trips on a non-regular service day carry separate fees, and the county has proposed new rates for January 1, 2027.
When & how
Garbage and organics every week and recycling every other week, holidays included, with carts at the curb by 6 a.m. and material placed out no more than 24 hours before collection.
Get it ready
Keep lids closed, space carts at least three feet apart and six feet from cars, mailboxes, basketball hoops and other objects, leave 14.5 feet of overhead clearance, do not stack anything on top of or beside a cart, and return the carts to the property within 24 hours of service.

Bulky material needs an appointment first

Nothing bulky is collected on the ordinary cart schedule. Call 916-875-5555 between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. on a weekday, use the online request form or the SacGreenTeam app, wait for the appointment, and set the pile out by 6 a.m. no more than 24 hours before that day.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Arden-Arcade.

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Arden-Arcade?

A trash bag is $59 as the first item and $10 additional. A filled household box is $59 as the first item. Add your actual items and quantities to see the combined price before booking. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; any applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

Can you pick up bags of junk today?

Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Available dates appear at checkout. Have the booked bags and boxes outside and accessible according to your confirmation. You receive pickup updates and completion photos; the booking is for a day rather than an exact arrival time.

Do I count every object inside a bag or box?

No. Count the filled bags or boxes using the matching choice. Books and media go in Filled household box; clothes, bedding and shoes go in Bag of clothes & bedding; packed toys have a Box of toys choice. Empty cardboard is separate, with individual empty boxes and bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Heavy, oversized or unusual contents need a photo review before booking.

Can you pick up a small loose pile of household junk?

Yes. Estimate how many trash bags the small household pile would fill, and bag or box as much as possible. Select furniture and other larger items separately. There is no extra charge just because the pile is loose. Send a photo first if the count or contents are unclear. A household Dumpster Bag choice does not accept construction debris.

Can I book bags, boxes and furniture together?

Yes. Select the bags and boxes, then add each larger item using its own catalog choice. The booking shows one combined price for the selected items. Move everything to an accessible outdoor spot before pickup; indoor carrying and sorting are not included. Keep anything you want to retain apart from the booked items and identify what goes in your photos and notes.

How large can a bulky pile be in Arden-Arcade?

The included appointment covers five cubic yards, which the county describes as a pile eight feet by four feet by four feet, about a pickup bed loaded to the top of the cab. The county accepts up to 15 cubic yards and charges current rates for everything above the five cubic yards included in the annual appointment.Official guidance

Do appliances, televisions or tires arrive on a separate truck?

The county may send a separate truck for appliances, e-waste, fluorescent tubes, clean lumber and trimmings, and up to four tires, so say what you have when you schedule and set those items to one side of the rest of the pile. Changing what is on the appointment, or cancelling it, takes a call at least one day before the appointment day.Official guidance

What cannot go in the Arden-Arcade garbage cart?

Organics, recyclables, liquids, e-waste, hazardous waste and heavy material such as rocks, dirt, bricks and sod are all unacceptable in the garbage cart, along with hot ashes, coals and fireworks and any dead animal over 15 pounds. Use a bulky appointment or a county facility for those items.Official guidance

What happens if a cart cannot be serviced or the load does not fit?

The county asks that carts be out by 6 a.m. on the service day and leaves them until serviced. A cart that was not out, or that was tagged with a notice, can incur a return-service fee, and extra material needs an authorized overflow cart at a per-refill fee rather than a second pile beside the cart.Official guidance

Does Sacramento County charge for an Arden-Arcade bulky pickup?

One bulky appointment for up to five cubic yards is included with residential cart service every 12 months, with the period running from the day the appointment is used. Extra appointments and anything above five cubic yards are charged at current rates up to the 15 cubic yard maximum, and the county separately charges facility fees for loads a household drives to Kiefer Landfill or the North Area Recovery Station.Official guidance

Is Arden-Arcade served by the county collection program?

Arden-Arcade is not one of the seven incorporated cities in Sacramento County, so it sits in the unincorporated area where the county Department of Waste Management & Recycling provides residential cart service, including the annual bulky appointment. Multifamily apartment complexes served by commercial franchised haulers are the exception, and the county's address lookup or customer service confirms the service at a specific address.Official guidance
