Two free appointments per year for customers

All residential customers can schedule two appointments for appliance and e-waste collection in a calendar year. These appointments are in addition to the two household junk appointments offered February - October. 

  • Appointments may be scheduled by the residential collection service customer, including tenants of rental premises such as single-family homes and duplexes 
  • Material must be placed out for collection by 6:00 AM on the scheduled appointment day.
  • Materials should be in place no earlier than 24 hours before the scheduled appointment. Early set-outs may result in a fine.
  • All cancellations or reschedule requests should be made by 5:00pm two business days prior to the scheduled appointment date. Failure to cancel may result in a charge for additional appointments during the calendar year. Please note, if an appointment is scheduled and not canceled before the pickup date, the customer's account will be charged for one free pickup.
  •  If the customer has already used their two free pickups, they may be charged a fee for the canceled pickup.
  • Household Junk Appointments require a separate appointment. 

Tenants of multi-family residences with five or more units, who are not serviced by the City of Sacramento's solid waste collection, will need to contact their landlord, property management, and/or commercial hauler to arrange a appliance pickup.

Appliances and household junk will most likely be picked up on different days, which may not be your standard collection day. If you plan to schedule both at the same time, please make an appointment for each separately. Please note the placement instructions for each pickup as they may be different.
