Pricing & Estimates
How much does junk removal cost?
Prices start around $200-300 for small loads and range up to several thousand for complete property cleanouts. Final cost depends on volume, weight, item types, and disposal requirements. We provide free estimates before starting any work.
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes. We provide free, no-obligation estimates. For most jobs, we can quote prices over the phone with a description or photos. For larger projects, we’ll visit the property and give you an exact price upfront.
How do you calculate pricing?
Pricing is based on volume (how much truck space your items take), weight, disposal fees, and labor required. Heavy items like concrete or appliances cost more to dispose of than lightweight household junk. We explain all costs clearly.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept cash, checks, all major credit cards, and digital payments. Payment is due when the work is complete. We don’t require deposits for most jobs. See our customer reviews to learn about our straightforward service.
Do you charge for estimates?
No. Estimates are always free with no obligation. We’ll assess your junk removal needs and provide clear pricing. If you decide not to use our service, you owe nothing for the estimate.
