Pricing guide
How much does junk removal cost?
Most junk removal jobs run between $150 and $600. What you pay comes down to how much space your items take in the truck, how heavy they are, and how easy the pickup is. Here's how it breaks down.
Pricing by load size
Our trucks hold roughly 15 cubic yards. We price by the fraction of the truck your haul fills, so a small cleanout never pays for a full load.
| Service | Typical price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Single item pickup | $75 – $175 | Couch, chair, small appliance |
| Quarter truck load | $150 – $250 | A few bags and a couple of items |
| Half truck load | $250 – $400 | Small room cleanout |
| Three-quarter load | $375 – $525 | Garage or basement partial |
| Full truck load | $450 – $650 | Full garage, attic, or estate |
Pricing by item type
Some items carry their own disposal or recycling fees. Furniture, appliances, and e-waste are the most common.
| Service | Typical price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Sofa or sectional | $95 – $300 | Disassembly may add cost |
| Mattress + box spring | $75 – $175 | Recycling fee included |
| Refrigerator or freezer | $95 – $200 | EPA disposal fee for refrigerant |
| Washer or dryer | $85 – $175 | Disconnect available |
| Hot tub removal | $350 – $750 | Includes breakdown |
| Yard waste (per cubic yard) | $60 – $120 | Brush, leaves, branches |
| Construction debris | $175 – $600 | Weight-based; drywall, wood, tile |
| Electronics (TV, monitor) | $35 – $95 | Certified e-waste recycling |
What affects your final price
- Volume. The single biggest factor — how much of the truck your items fill.
- Weight. Concrete, dirt, tile, and roofing shingles trigger landfill weight fees.
- Item type. Mattresses, refrigerators, tires, and electronics carry recycling fees.
- Access. Stairs, long carries, and tight spaces add labor time.
- Local landfill rates. Disposal costs vary city to city, which is why national averages are a range.
Frequently asked
Do you charge for a quote?
No. We give a firm price on-site before we touch anything. If you don't like the number, we leave — no charge.
Is there a minimum charge?
Yes, around $75 to cover travel and disposal. For one small item it's almost always cheaper to add it to a larger pickup if you can.
Do you recycle or donate?
Whenever possible. Working appliances and usable furniture go to local donation partners; metal and e-waste go to certified recyclers.
