If you’re a homeowner or business owner in the Sacramento or Roseville area looking to declutter without spending a dime, you’re in luck. While Clifford’s Junk Removal offers fast, reliable junk removal services 7 days a week, there are also several free options to consider before booking a pickup. In this guide, we’ll break down the best ways to get rid of junk for free—and when to call in the pros at Clifford’s.

1. Donate Items to Local Organizations

Before tossing anything out, consider donating gently used items. This is a great way to help others and reduce landfill waste. Items like furniture, clothing, and small appliances can be dropped off at:

• Goodwill or Salvation Army
• Local shelters and community outreach programs
• Thrift stores in Sacramento, Roseville, and surrounding areas

At Clifford’s Junk Removal, we always look to donate usable items first. When you book with us, we do our best to make sure your junk finds a second home.

2. Use Online Marketplaces

Platforms like Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, and Nextdoor allow you to list unwanted items for free. Many people in the Sacramento area will gladly pick up things like old furniture, yard tools, or electronics directly from your driveway.

But if your items don’t get picked up and you need them gone fast, Clifford’s Junk Removal offers same-day pickups and contactless hauling—so you’re not stuck waiting.

3. Schedule Your Free City Bulk Pickup

Many local waste departments offer free bulk pickup days, especially in Sacramento, Roseville, and surrounding neighborhoods. These programs can help you get rid of:

• Mattresses
• Large furniture
• Bagged yard waste

Check your city’s website for dates and guidelines. And if your pile is too big or includes items the city won’t take, give Clifford’s Junk Removal a call at 916-777-0439—we’ll handle what the city can’t.

4. Recycle Electronics and Appliances Responsibly

Old TVs, computers, and appliances shouldn’t go to the curb. Instead:

• Drop them at a certified e-waste recycling center
• Check with retailers like Best Buy for take-back programs
• Or call Clifford’s Junk Removal—we recycle electronics and metals whenever possible, and we’ll make sure your items are disposed of properly

We’re committed to keeping illegal dumping and landfill waste to a minimum in our community.

5. Try a Yard or Garage Giveaway

A weekend yard sale or even a “free stuff” curb alert is a great way to clear out items fast. Just leave things at the curb with a “FREE” sign and post it online.

If anything is left behind, Clifford’s Junk Removal can swing by and haul it away—saving you the cleanup hassle.

6. Watch for Community Cleanup Events

Many cities in the greater Sacramento area host seasonal cleanup days. These are perfect for disposing of:

• Large household junk
• Yard debris
• Scrap metal and construction materials

We recommend using these programs when available. And when they’re not? Clifford’s Junk Removal is ready with same-day junk removal across Sacramento, Roseville, Rocklin, and surrounding areas.

7. Ask Friends or Family

Don’t underestimate your network. Someone you know might need that old patio set, bookshelf, or filing cabinet. Ask around—you might be surprised.

Still stuck with unwanted junk? Clifford’s Junk Removal is a veteran-owned, family-operated business offering affordable, stress-free solutions.
