How Much Does Junk Removal Cost? 

(From the Guy Who’s Hauled More Stuff Than a County Fair Vendor)

Let’s face it—when your garage is startin’ to look like the local dump had babies with your storage closet, you know it’s time to clear house. And that brings up the big one:

How much does junk removal cost?

​

Well now, that ain’t exactly a one-size-fits-all kind of answer. But I’ve done the heavy liftin’ here so you don’t have to. Whether you’ve got old furniture types, broken appliances, or a good ol’ fashioned junk pile, I’ll lay out your options better than a set of instructions on a bag of deer corn.

​

​

🚚 Two Ways to Ditch the Junk (One Lets You Keep Your Dignity)

Option 1: Call in the Pros (a.k.a. Full-Service Junk Removal)

This is like valet service—but for your yard waste, entertainment centers, and busted major appliances. The crew rolls up, loads it, and vanishes. You’ll be drinkin’ iced tea while they’re breakin’ a sweat.

✅ Easy as pie.   ❌ That pie costs more than your last Bass Pro haul. Between labor costs, disposal fee surprises, and additional items, it adds up.

​

We're talkin':

• Around $150 for a single item

• Closer to $1,000 for full-service junk removal or commercial junk removal jobs

And heaven help you if you’ve got hazardous materials, e-waste, or anything with appliance doors still attached. They’ll tack on special disposal fees faster than your uncle finds excuses to avoid church.

​

​

Option 2: Rent a Dumpster from Haul’n Off

We bring a 10-yard dumpster or a 20-yard dumpster straight to your spot. You fill it with whatever’s clutterin’ your life—construction waste, tree limbs, even that cursed treadmill—and we haul it off when you're done.

​

✅ One flat rate, no nonsense   ✅ Big enough for your building materials, bulk pickup, and maybe even your bad decisions   ✅ No labor fees because you’re the boss now

Average cost? Right around $369. And buddy, that beats paying a crew to side-eye your junk while racking up extra labor charges.

​

💵 What Impacts the Cost of Junk Removal?

1. Type of Junk

Tossin’ a few household items? Easy peasy. But once you bring out hazardous items, fluorescent light bulbs, or an air conditioner, expect the bill to rise like biscuits in the oven.

​

2. Volume-Based Pricing

Most junk removal companies charge by cubic feet, cubic yard, or how much of their junk removal truck your stuff fills. So yeah, your six-piece patio set? That’s no minimum load.

​

3. Labor & Location

Upstairs, through a narrow hall, past the angry dog? That’s gonna cost you. Add in gas prices, your zip code, and you’re probably also covering their business overheads.

​

​

📦 What Can You Toss in a Dumpster?

With Haul’n Off, you’ve got options. Load it up with:

• ✅ Yard waste, food waste, junk removal furniture

• ✅ Leftovers from construction projects, household appliances, building project scraps

• ❌ Hazardous waste, toxic materials, or anything better left to the Salvation Army or Hope Furniture Bank
