Sacramento Dump Fees & Disposal Guide for Junk Removal Operators

Kiefer Landfill is $61.35/ton with a $45 minimum. NARS transfer station is $89.90/ton with a $50 minimum — $28.55/ton more for convenience and later hours (6PM vs. 4:30PM). Sacramento Recycling & Transfer Station (WM) does not publicly list rates — call (916) 737-4880. For loads under ~700 lbs, you hit the minimum charge regardless. Batch small pickups into combined dump runs.

• Route loads over 1.5 tons to Kiefer Landfill ($61.35/ton) instead of NARS ($89.90/ton) — the $28.55/ton savings offsets the drive to Sloughhouse
• Use NARS for small/late-afternoon loads where convenience matters — it closes at 6PM versus Kiefer's 4:30PM

GreenWaste Florin Perkins charges $26/cu yd for mixed C&D (loads under 6 CY) or $83⁠–⁠$85/ton for loads over 6 CY with a $60 minimum. Kiefer Landfill charges the standard $61.35/ton for C&D (same as MSW rate). Clean concrete at GreenWaste is only $7/cu yd — an exceptional deal for demo and remodel debris. GreenWaste is Sacramento's only RCI-certified C&D recovery facility with 75%+ diversion.

• Route C&D-heavy loads to GreenWaste Florin Perkins — $26/cu yd mixed C&D and $7/cu yd clean concrete are the best C&D rates in the metro
• GreenWaste provides weight tags and diversion documentation for CalGreen/LEED compliance — a selling point for contractor clients

Green waste at both Kiefer and NARS is $115.65/ton — nearly double the MSW rate ($61.35/ton). This is expensive and catches operators off guard.

GreenWaste Florin Perkins may offer better rates on clean brush and yardwaste — call (916) 443-5120 for current pricing.

• Price yard waste and tree removal jobs higher than standard junk removal — green waste disposal at $115.65/ton is nearly 2x the MSW rate
