Yes! We have debris boxes that are perfect for home cleanouts, spring cleaning, remodels and renovations, cleaning up brush/trees around your property, or whatever else your project might be.

The City of Sacramento limits the placement the placement of a debris box or dumpster on the street.  We also recommend placing your dumpster on private property to deter illegal dumping.  If you require your debris box be placed on the street, you must apply for an encroachment permit a minimum of 10 days prior to placing the debris box. 

Finding the right size debris box is crucial to ensuring efficient waste management.  Here are the different sizes we offer and their typical use:

This is the only box that accepts dirt, asphalt, concrete, and brick.

This GreenWaste facility processes an extensive amount of mixed debris and debris boxes daily through a 140-foot long C&D sorting conveyor system. The system is utilized to remove a variety of materials; up to 16 products from the typical mixed waste stream.

The sorting conveyor system, which includes elevated work-stations, disc-screens and magnets is located above storage bunkers that hold recovered materials. When the storage bunkers become full, the materials are routed for additional on-site processing, or loaded and hauled to approved recyclers. Residual materials are routed to a landfill for disposal.

The sorting system is capable of sorting 45 tons per hour with an average diversion rate of 82%. We are the only 3rd party certified recycling facility in Sacramento. The diversion rate and tons per hour vary depending upon the type of materials sorted.
