Your junk has a second life. We make sure it gets there.
Upcycle is Sacramento's reuse-first junk removal. We use AI to photograph, price, and route every item — so usable goods reach donation partners, materials go to makers, and only what can't be saved hits the landfill.
Most junk removal ends the same way: the landfill.
Traditional haulers optimize for speed, not outcomes. They load your stuff, dump it, and move on. Usable furniture, salvageable materials, fixable items — all buried together. It's fast, but it's wasteful.
Everything goes to the same place. Fast, but wasteful.
AI triages every item to its best destination.
We built Upcycle to change that equation.
We triage everything. AI helps us get it right.
When you request a pickup, our AI analyzes your photos — identifying items, estimating volume, and flagging what can be donated, recycled, or recovered. You get a transparent quote. Your items get routed to the right destination.

Usable items to partners, materials to makers, the rest disposed responsibly
No other junk removal service in Sacramento uses AI to route your items. We do — because getting it right matters.
Donation partners. Maker workshops. The future Upcycle Mall.
We're building a network that gives items real second lives — not just a line on a receipt. Here's where your stuff can end up:
Donation Partners
Usable furniture, clothing, and household goods go to local nonprofits and thrift organizations
Material Recovery
Wood, textiles, hardware, and parts are saved for makers, repair shops, and DIY projects
Recycling Streams
Metals, electronics, and recyclables go to proper processing facilities
Responsible Disposal
Only what truly can't be reused goes to the landfill — and we track it
The Upcycle Mall Vision
We're not just a hauling company. Revenue from pickups funds our long-term goal: a physical Upcycle Mall — part thrift store, part maker space, part community workshop. A place where the cycle completes.
Furniture to electronics. We'll figure out where it goes.
