What customers say

Real reviews from Sacramento customers

My old garage was packed to the brim with junk. When I finally decided to clear it, Safeco made it easy. They provided the right size, explained the dos and don’ts, and hauled it away swiftly. Best decision I ever made.

Allison was very helpful, personable, knowledable and accommodating. She made the process easy,efficient and affordable. I will always use this company for my waste removal needs.

Driver did an excellent job, he showed up on time. When he came to pick Pickup up, he called first and was able to meet the driver at the location for a smooth pick up.

Roofing Projects

A typical Sacramento roof tear-off generates 3–5 tons of shingles and underlayment. A 20–30 yard dumpster handles most single-layer residential roofs, but go with a 30 if you have a multi-layer strip or architectural shingles.

Kitchen Remodels

Kitchen gut-outs produce cabinets, countertops, flooring, and drywall — bulky but relatively light. A 10–15 yard dumpster is usually enough for a standard kitchen demo in Sacramento. If you're removing tile flooring or concrete countertops, size up to a 20 yard to stay under the weight cap.

New builds, additions, and major renovations in Sacramento generate heavy mixed debris — concrete, lumber, drywall, and metal. A 30–40 yard dumpster is standard for active job sites. Most contractors in California keep a roll-off on site for the full project duration and swap it out when full.
