City collection A couch, a sofa or a chair is a bulky item the county picks up by appointment, and furniture is one of the examples the county gives for material too large for the garbage cart. The included appointment covers up to five cubic yards, which is about a pickup bed loaded to the top of the cab. A second appointment inside the same 12 months, or a pile above five cubic yards, is charged at current rates, and dropping furniture at a county facility instead is charged as a household load because furniture is not on the free drop-off list. No charge. Included in the residential rate as the one bulky waste pickup appointment every 12 months, covering up to five cubic yards and starting a new 12-month period when it is used; additional appointments and material above five cubic yards are charged at current rates, and the drop-off facilities price furniture as a household load.
City collection A mattress and a box spring are named as bulky items for the appointment and as free items for the drop-off at both county facilities. Because the drop-off price depends on the whole load, a mattress is free there only when everything in the vehicle is also a free item. No charge. Free within the one bulky waste pickup appointment every 12 months, and free to drop off at the North Area Recovery Station or Kiefer Landfill on a non-business load that contains only no-fee items. A second appointment inside the 12 months, material above five cubic yards, or a mixed load at the gate is charged.
City collection An appliance is a special set-out item for the bulky pickup, which means it has to be flagged when the appointment is made and set to one side of the pile. It is also free to drop at either county facility at one or two a day, with a per-item charge from the third appliance in one day. No charge. Free on the included annual bulky waste appointment when the appliance is flagged at booking, and free to drop at the North Area Recovery Station or Kiefer Landfill at one or two appliances a day; a third appliance in the same day costs 40 dollars each at the station and 35 dollars each at the landfill, and a mixed load is charged as a household load.
City collection The county includes one bulky waste pickup appointment every 12 months in the residential rate, covering up to five cubic yards, which is a pile of 8 by 4 by 4 feet or about a pickup bed loaded to the top of the cab. More than five cubic yards in one appointment, and any additional appointment inside the same 12 months, is charged at current rates, and the most the county will take at once is 15 cubic yards. No charge. One appointment every 12 months is included in the residential rate for up to five cubic yards, and the 12-month period starts when the appointment is used rather than on the calendar year; additional appointments and material above five cubic yards are charged at current rates.
The highest first-item price applies once. Every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Antelope is an unincorporated part of Sacramento County, so the county's waste division runs the residential carts, the bulky waste appointment and the two drop-off facilities that serve this address. A household on the county service gets one bulky waste appointment every 12 months included, covering up to five cubic yards, which is about a pickup bed loaded to the top of the cab, and that is where a couch, a mattress or a treadmill goes when it does not fit a cart. Appliances, electronics, tires and fluorescent tubes have to be flagged when the appointment is booked and set to one side of the pile. The drop-off sites carry the rest: a mattress, an appliance or a television is free at the North Area Recovery Station in North Highlands or Kiefer Landfill in Sloughhouse when the load holds only free items, clean concrete and bricks are free at Kiefer, and household chemicals are free at the hazardous waste facility on the Roseville Road site within a monthly limit.
A couch, a sofa or a chair is a bulky item the county picks up by appointment, and furniture is one of the examples the county gives for material too large for the garbage cart. The included appointment covers up to five cubic yards, which is about a pickup bed loaded to the top of the cab. A second appointment inside the same 12 months, or a pile above five cubic yards, is charged at current rates, and dropping furniture at a county facility instead is charged as a household load because furniture is not on the free drop-off list.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the residential rate as the one bulky waste pickup appointment every 12 months, covering up to five cubic yards and starting a new 12-month period when it is used; additional appointments and material above five cubic yards are charged at current rates, and the drop-off facilities price furniture as a household load.
When & how
Book the appointment with county customer service at 916-875-5555, Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., through the online request form, or in the SacGreenTeam app, and put the pile out on the appointment day.
Get it ready
Set the pile out by 6 a.m. and no more than 24 hours before the appointment, in front of your property line on the same side of the street, one foot from the curb on a hard flat surface, clear of sidewalks and gutters, six feet from cars, fences and mailboxes, and out from under wires and limbs where 14.5 feet of clearance is required. Concrete, dirt, rocks, bricks, tree stumps, glass panes, treated wood, liquids and anything hazardous are refused.
A mattress and a box spring are named as bulky items for the appointment and as free items for the drop-off at both county facilities. Because the drop-off price depends on the whole load, a mattress is free there only when everything in the vehicle is also a free item.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free within the one bulky waste pickup appointment every 12 months, and free to drop off at the North Area Recovery Station or Kiefer Landfill on a non-business load that contains only no-fee items. A second appointment inside the 12 months, material above five cubic yards, or a mixed load at the gate is charged.
When & how
Book the appointment at 916-875-5555, or take the unit to the station on Roseville Road or the landfill on Kiefer Boulevard during their open hours.
Get it ready
Keep the load to free items only if you are driving it to a facility, because one bag of household trash turns the whole load into a charged one, and keep the unit out of the garbage cart, which never takes bedding.
Refrigerators, washers, dryers and other appliances
Accepted with preparation
An appliance is a special set-out item for the bulky pickup, which means it has to be flagged when the appointment is made and set to one side of the pile. It is also free to drop at either county facility at one or two a day, with a per-item charge from the third appliance in one day.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free on the included annual bulky waste appointment when the appliance is flagged at booking, and free to drop at the North Area Recovery Station or Kiefer Landfill at one or two appliances a day; a third appliance in the same day costs 40 dollars each at the station and 35 dollars each at the landfill, and a mixed load is charged as a household load.
When & how
Flag the appliance when you book at 916-875-5555, or drop it during facility hours: the station runs 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays and 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekends, and the landfill runs 6:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on weekdays and 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on weekends.
Get it ready
Empty the unit before it leaves, remove the doors or tape and tie them closed for child safety, pull fluids and removable batteries and take those to the hazardous waste facility, and keep the appliance out of the garbage cart, which cannot take a heavy item.
E-waste is a special set-out item for the bulky pickup, so the load has to be flagged when the appointment is booked and smaller devices go together in a cardboard box. Televisions, monitors, computers, phones, printers and the rest of the county's e-waste list are also free to drop at either county facility for residents, and none of it may go in a cart.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free on the included annual bulky waste appointment when the e-waste is flagged at booking, and free on a residents-only basis at the North Area Recovery Station and Kiefer Landfill; a second appointment inside the 12 months is charged at current rates, and a mixed load at the gate is charged as a household load.
When & how
Flag the e-waste when you book at 916-875-5555, or take it to either facility during its open hours.
Get it ready
Erase the data on a phone, computer or drive before handover, box the smaller devices so they stay together, and take anything with a built-in battery to the e-waste drop-off rather than a cart, because e-waste is refused in both the garbage and recycling carts.
Clean lumber and trimmings go out with the bulky pickup when they are no wider than four inches and no longer than five feet, but concrete, dirt, rocks, bricks, tree stumps and treated wood are refused there. Those loads go to the county facilities: Kiefer takes clean concrete, asphalt, tile, brick, rocks and stucco free when there is no rebar and no piece larger than 36 inches, only Kiefer takes treated wood, and a mixed renovation load is weighed at either site. A contractor can also use one of the county certified construction sorting facilities.
City cost & eligibility
From $35 per load at the county facilities, where a pickup truck pays 35 dollars at Kiefer Landfill and 40 dollars at the North Area Recovery Station, a weighed load starts at a 45 dollar minimum at Kiefer and a 50 dollar minimum at the station, normal refuse runs 61 dollars 35 cents a ton at Kiefer and 89 dollars 90 cents a ton at the station, mixed inerts up to 36 inches are 28 dollars 45 cents a ton at Kiefer, clean concrete, asphalt, tile, brick, rocks and stucco without rebar and no larger than 36 inches are free at Kiefer only, and an uncovered or unsecured load adds 25 dollars. Residents, businesses and haulers at either facility, where customers are not required to be county residents and payment is by cash, credit card or check; every load has to be covered or secured, and loads have to be separated by material type.
When & how
Take the load to Kiefer Landfill on Kiefer Boulevard or the North Area Recovery Station on Roseville Road during facility hours, or to a certified construction sorting facility such as the GreenWaste Florin Perkins resource recovery facility on Florin Perkins Road.
Get it ready
Separate green waste, clean wood, concrete and metals before the trip, keep trash out of a clean concrete or inerts load because that turns it into a charged mixed load, keep treated wood and railroad ties for Kiefer where they are charged as hard to handle material, and keep a contractor load off the free bulky pickup entirely.
Exercise equipment is not named in the county's bulky waste categories or its free drop-off list, so the machine has to be confirmed rather than assumed. A machine that fits the five cubic yard pile can be booked with the annual appointment, and a metal framed machine may qualify as clean metal at the free drop-off, where the load has to hold only free items.
City cost & eligibility
No county rate or list covers an exercise machine, so confirm the machine with customer service at 916-875-5555 before booking. A machine that fits within five cubic yards can go out with the annual bulky waste appointment, and a metal framed machine may be accepted as clean metal at the free drop-off.
When & how
Call 916-875-5555 before the appointment day and describe the machine and the material of its frame, because the bulky list and the free drop-off list are both fixed lists.
Get it ready
Break the machine down where you can, remove any console or battery so it can be handled separately, keep the load to free items only if you plan to drop it off, and keep everything within the five cubic yard limit if it goes out for pickup.
The county includes one bulky waste pickup appointment every 12 months in the residential rate, covering up to five cubic yards, which is a pile of 8 by 4 by 4 feet or about a pickup bed loaded to the top of the cab. More than five cubic yards in one appointment, and any additional appointment inside the same 12 months, is charged at current rates, and the most the county will take at once is 15 cubic yards.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. One appointment every 12 months is included in the residential rate for up to five cubic yards, and the 12-month period starts when the appointment is used rather than on the calendar year; additional appointments and material above five cubic yards are charged at current rates.
When & how
Book at 916-875-5555 from Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., through the online request form, or in the SacGreenTeam app. Adding a special set-out item, changing the date or cancelling has to be done by phone with a representative at least one day before the appointment.
Get it ready
The pile goes out by 6 a.m. and no more than 24 hours ahead, six feet from cars, fences and mailboxes and clear of sidewalks, gutters and overhead wires, with appliances, e-waste, tires and fluorescent tubes set to one side. Business waste, heavy material, glass panes, treated wood, liquids and hazardous waste are not taken.
Paint, chemicals and other household hazardous waste
Accepted with preparation
Household chemicals never go in a cart. Sacramento County runs a hazardous waste drop-off at the North Area Recovery Station on Roseville Road, free to residents within a monthly limit, and it takes what a cart cannot: paint and thinners, motor oil and filters, antifreeze, batteries, gasoline, pesticides, pool chemicals, cleaners, aerosols, propane tanks, fluorescent tubes and ballasts and home-generated sharps in a sealed hard container.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free to residents up to 15 gallons or 125 pounds a month at the on-site facility at the North Area Recovery Station, and free to residents within the same monthly limit at the Kiefer Landfill antifreeze, battery, oil and paint and special waste facility; a business needs a commercial appointment in advance.
When & how
The hazardous waste facility at 4450 Roseville Road is open Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., which is different from the transfer station hours, and it closes for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day.
Get it ready
Keep products in their original containers, seal the lids, box everything upright so nothing tips, tape household batteries with clear tape, keep flammables out of the sun and away from heat, and leave ammunition, asbestos, compressed industrial gas, controlled substances, explosives, medical waste, polychlorinated biphenyls and radioactive material behind because they are refused.
Carts go out by 6 a.m. with the handle facing the house
Carts are collected on the regular day including holidays, and they go to the curb by 6 a.m. with the handle facing the residence and the lid closed. Leave three feet between carts, six feet from cars, mailboxes and basketball hoops, and 14.5 feet of overhead clearance from limbs, wires and awnings, keep items out of and off the top of the cart, and bring the carts back onto the property within 24 hours of service under county code 6.20.400.C.
A bulky waste pile goes out by 6 a.m. and no more than 24 hours before the appointment, 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. Keep it clear of sidewalks, traffic and gutters, six feet from fences, mailboxes, cars and hoops, and out from under utility lines and tree limbs. Appliances, electronics, tires and fluorescent tubes are placed to one side of the pile, and only the scheduled items are collected.
The garbage cart refuses organics, recyclables, liquids, e-waste, heavy items such as rocks, dirt, bricks and sod, hot ashes, coals and fireworks, hazardous waste and an animal over 15 pounds. Treated wood, glass panes and mirrors, concrete and tree stumps are refused with the bulky pickup too. Electronics, appliances, mattresses and metal go to the free residential drop-off at the station or the landfill, and paint, chemicals, oil, batteries and propane go to the hazardous waste facility.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.

Sacramento County Department of Waste Management and Recycling
Drop household chemicals at the hazardous waste facility
A household with paint, thinners, oil, antifreeze, batteries, gasoline, pesticides, pool chemicals, cleaners, aerosols, propane tanks, fluorescent tubes or sharps.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Free to residents up to 15 gallons or 125 pounds a month at the on-site hazardous waste facility at the North Area Recovery Station, and free to residents within the same monthly limit at the Kiefer Landfill antifreeze, battery, oil and paint and special waste facility.
Arrange it

Ammunition, asbestos, compressed industrial gas, controlled substances, explosives, medical waste, polychlorinated biphenyls and radioactive material are refused, and a business needs a commercial appointment in advance.
Use a county certified construction sorting facility
A homeowner or contractor with a mixed renovation load that needs to be sorted and weighed rather than separated at the county landfill.
Cost & conditions
The county publishes the certified facility list and their recovery rates but no gate price for these private facilities, so the load and the price have to be confirmed with the facility before it is ordered.
Arrange it
Call one of the certified facilities, such as the GreenWaste Florin Perkins resource recovery facility on Florin Perkins Road in Sacramento, and confirm the material mix, the size of the load and the hours before delivery.
These are private sorting facilities working under county code chapter 6.20, and a weight ticket has to be stamped by a certified facility to claim recycling diversion credit for a mixed construction load.

Prices, timing and the details that matter at your address.
How much does pickup cost?+
Choose your items to see the exact price. A standard sofa is $79 first and $29 additional. The highest first-item price applies once; every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Review any applicable sales tax and the final total before payment.
Can I book a pickup for today?+
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Choose from the dates shown at checkout. Your booking is for a pickup day, and we text you when your hauler is on the way.
Do my items need to be outside when I book?+
You can book while your items are still inside. Arrange any indoor carrying and have everything outside and accessible according to your confirmation. We load and haul it away from there. Contact us before booking if your property has restricted access.
Will Sacramento County take a couch from the curb?+
Yes, on the bulky waste pickup that every household on the county service may book once every 12 months. Furniture is one of the county's own examples for the pile, the appointment covers up to five cubic yards, and a second appointment in the same 12 months or a larger pile is charged at current rates.Official guidance
How do I get rid of a mattress in Antelope?+
Two county routes take a mattress at no charge: the bulky waste appointment that comes with the residential service once every 12 months, and the free residential drop-off at the North Area Recovery Station or Kiefer Landfill. At the drop-off the mattress has to travel in a load that contains only free items, because a mixed load is charged.Official guidance
Does it cost anything to drop off an appliance?+
The county facilities take one or two large appliances a day without a charge, and an appliance booked with the annual bulky pickup is also free. A third appliance in the same day carries a per-item charge, and a load that mixes an appliance with household trash is charged as a household load.Official guidance
Where do televisions and computers go in Antelope?+
To one of the county's two e-waste routes: the bulky waste appointment, where the electronics have to be flagged at booking and set to one side, or the free residents-only drop-off at the North Area Recovery Station or Kiefer Landfill. E-waste is never accepted in the garbage or recycling cart.Official guidance
What comes with the annual bulky waste pickup?+
One appointment every 12 months is included in the residential rate and covers up to five cubic yards, which is about a pickup bed loaded to the top of the cab, with a 15 cubic yard ceiling on one appointment. Additional appointments and material above the included volume are charged at current rates, and the 12-month clock starts on the day the appointment is used.Official guidance
Who runs the collection in Antelope?+
Sacramento County's Department of Waste Management and Recycling runs the residential carts, the bulky waste appointments and the two drop-off facilities for residents in the unincorporated areas of the county. Multifamily apartment complexes, condos, mobile home parks and multiplexes are served by commercial franchised haulers instead, so a household in one of those buildings should ask the property manager. Customer service is 916-875-5555, Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.Official guidance
What can go in the county garbage cart?+
Household garbage, plastic bags and film plastics, coated paper and cartons, chip bags and wrappers, Styrofoam, compostable plastic, hoses, cords, clothes hangers, clothing, shoes, blankets, pet waste and diapers. The cart refuses organics, recyclables, liquids, e-waste, heavy items such as rocks, dirt, bricks and sod, hot ashes, coals and fireworks, hazardous waste and an animal over 15 pounds.Official guidance
What can I drop off for free at the county facilities?+
When the load contains only free items, both the North Area Recovery Station and Kiefer Landfill take small corded items, small power tools, one or two large appliances a day, residents-only e-waste such as televisions, computers, phones and printers, mattresses and box springs on non-business loads, clean metal and up to four passenger tires a day. Kiefer also takes clean concrete, asphalt, tile, brick, rocks and stucco without rebar and no larger than 36 inches at no charge, and it is the only site that takes treated wood.Official guidance
How does the household hazardous waste drop-off work?+
Residents can bring paint, thinners, motor oil and filters, antifreeze, batteries, gasoline, pesticides, pool chemicals, cleaners, aerosols, propane tanks, fluorescent tubes and ballasts and home-generated sharps to the facility at 4450 Roseville Road free, up to 15 gallons or 125 pounds a month. It is open Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., which is different from the transfer station days, and ammunition, asbestos, compressed industrial gas, controlled substances, explosives, medical waste and radioactive material are not accepted.Official guidance
How should a renovation load be separated before the county gate?+
Separate green waste, clean wood, concrete and metals before you arrive. Clean concrete, asphalt, tile, brick, rocks and stucco without rebar and no larger than 36 inches are free only at Kiefer Landfill, treated wood and railroad ties are taken only at Kiefer and are charged as hard to handle material, and a load that mixes construction material with household trash is weighed and charged as a household load at either facility.Official guidance
Can I change a bulky waste appointment after I book it?+
Yes, but the county asks you to call customer service at 916-875-5555 and speak to a representative at least one day before the appointment. Adding a special set-out item such as an appliance, e-waste, a tire or a fluorescent tube, and any change or cancellation, has to be done by phone, because emails and voicemails are not accepted.Official guidance
