Junk Removal Cost Estimator (2026)
Junk removal is priced by how much of the truck you fill, plus add‑ons for access and weight. Pick your load, tick what applies, and get the same national ranges as our load‑size table — with a quick check against renting a dumpster.
How to read the estimate
The load line is the national range for that fraction of a 12–15 yd³ truck with labor, hauling, and standard disposal included. Stairs and heavy‑item surcharges are the typical add‑on for that tier — real quotes scale them with flights and item counts. Everything is a range because disposal fees vary by city; get two quotes and have each crew confirm the fraction on site.
Estimating your load
- 1/8 load — a couch, or a pickup‑bed of boxes.
- 1/4 load — a bedroom set or a small garage corner.
- 1/2 load — a one‑bedroom apartment's furniture.
- 3/4 load — a full garage or basement cleanout.
- Full load — a small house or a renovation's debris.
