Hauling Services

Some companies offer onsite pricing, which gives the homeowner a quick and accurate price for junk removal. Another alternative offered by some companies is an online pricing estimate. The online estimator is based on the average size of an item and the pricing in your local area. The size of any item may vary, and that will affect your overall price.

Here is the average junk hauling prices list:

• $70–$100 for a min. load (less than 10 sq. ft.)
• $90–$130 for 1/8 load (10–20 sq. ft.)
• $330–$360 for 3/8–1/2 load (30–40 sq. ft.)
• $490–$520 for 5/6–7/8 load (66.6–70 sq. ft.)
• $550–$570 for a max. Load (80 sq. ft.)

Junk, Trash, Waste or E-Waste Services?

Depending on your classification of items to be removed, the prices and type of professional you need will vary greatly. There are core differences between junk, trash, waste, e-waste, and composting that we cover in details below:

Junk Removal – a service that most county and city trash services refuse to remove such as refrigerators, TVs, stoves, air conditioners, sofas, etc. However, some cities will offer a free junk removal day once a quarter. $70–$570 for professional junk removal

Trash Removal – regularly scheduled by your county or city and is included in your monthly utility bill.

Waste Removal – involves removing hazardous items like latex paint, mercury, or other harmful agents. Additionally, this service takes care of construction debris with costs around $60–$125. Most junk removal companies will not remove hazardous waste.

E-Waste Disposal – usually comprised of technical items such as computers, monitors, printers, copy machines, shredders, etc. Cost vary considerably.

Composting – Both food waste and yard debris can be removed and composted for around $70 to $100 depending on the volume.

Junk Removal Costs by Type

Our garages and basements become storage bins for everything from last year’s refrigerator or window air conditioner to the previous decade’s clothes, not to mention tons of photographs, toys, and old tools. You name it, it’s there … and growing. The lowest price you’ll pay for junk removal is $70–$100 for a minimum load (less than 10 sq. ft.) all the way up to $550–$570 for a maximum truckload (80 sq. ft.).

Furniture Removal Cost

It can be a challenge getting rid of unwanted or unneeded furniture. Not only are large pieces of furniture heavy and generally hard to work with, but many cities don’t provide free no obligation pickup for pieces of furniture or appliances.

• Washer and dryer (2 items): $70–$205
• Entertainment center (large) $99–$250
• Three-piece sectional couch or sofa: $208–$375

Junk Removal by Item

For some junk pickup quotes, you can text or upload the junk removal company a photo of what you need to be picked up, and they will give you an estimate of how much it will cost to come to get it. Their final price will be provided onsite once they see the item(s) in person.

• Computer/printer $70–$90
• Lawn mower $70–$90
• Hot tub or spa: $100–$150
• Latex paint $10 per gallon (can’t be recycled)

Cost To Dump At a Landfill

The cost to dump at a landfill is usually around $50 if you do it yourself. If you hire a professional, expect to spend $70 to $150 on an average size load. Large items are surcharged due to the extra weight. These items may require two workers to haul away to a landfill or another specified location:

• Freezers and refrigerators $35 to $60 each
• Piano removal $50 to $100
• AC units $35 to $60 each
• Tires (if more than 4) $10 per tire, without rims $5 per tire
