How furniture disposal works in Sacramento

Sacramento gives residents a genuinely good perk: two free Household Junk Pickup appointments a year, each up to four cubic yards of furniture and large items, plus two separate free appliance and e-waste appointments. The catch is the calendar. The program runs only between February and October, so there is no city junk pickup at all for the roughly three months from November into the new year.

The set-out rules are specific and enforced. Items go on the street at the curb, six feet from parked cars, by 6 a.m., and never on the sidewalk, driveway, or alley unless the city tells you to. You cannot set them out more than a day early, and a cancellation with less than forty-eight hours notice, an oversized pile, or an early set-out can cost you a fine or the appointment itself. Renters in buildings of five or more units that the city does not service have to go through the property's hauler instead.

A booked Furniture Disposal Plus pickup skips the February-to-October window and the set-out math. Your Loaders come to the piece wherever it sits, out of the garage or down from a second floor, on a window you choose, often same-day or next-day across Sacramento ZIP codes. There is no seasonal blackout, no 6 a.m. curb rule, and no forty-eight-hour cancellation penalty, and mattresses route to California's Bye Bye Mattress recycling program where they qualify.
