Need to get rid of household junk, old electronics, or household hazardous waste?
On Saturday, June 6 from 8-11 a.m., residents can bring their household bulky waste to the Sacramento Recycling and Transfer Station (8491 Fruitridge Road) for free disposal. The entrance is on 84th Street and there will be signage posted to direct residents to the facility.
Items accepted include furniture, junk, electronics and household hazardous waste (HHW).
“Last year we collected over 205 tons of garbage, including 31 appliances, 65 tires, and 79 mattresses,” said Jesa David, spokesperson for the Recycling and Solid Waste Division. “We want to provide a resource for City residents, including those who live in apartments, to get rid of their household junk the right way.”
Materials that can be recycled will be diverted from the landfill where possible.
Dump Day is offered in partnership with Waste Management and is exclusive to City of Sacramento residents. Residents can confirm if they live within Sacramento City limits by checking their utility bill or street signs. City residential streets have green signs, while County signs are white.
To be able to dump their waste free of charge, participants must provide proof of residency, such as a utility bill (either paper or digital), or ID with an address within City limits. Addresses will be verified by staff at the gate. Non-City residents will be able to dump but will be charged a flat disposal fee of $77.

- Only personal cars, trucks, vans or SUVs will be permitted to enter. Participants must be able to unload their own vehicles.
- General household bulky items are acceptable, including furniture, appliances such as washers/dryers (with no freon or compressed gas), electronics, materials like metal, plastic, fiberglass, untreated wood and landscape trimmings. Mattresses and box springs are limited to four each per vehicle.
- Tires and rims are also accepted with a limit of four each per vehicle, and tires must be removed from the rims.
- Household hazardous waste will be accepted and processed separately. HHW includes paint, batteries, oils, acids, household chemicals, empty propane tanks, and aerosol cans.
