Junk Removal Pricing: What You Need to Know

One of the most common questions we get at Junk Bear is, “How does junk removal pricing work?” Whether you’re clearing out a couch, fridge, dresser, or even a garage full of debris, understanding what determines cost can help you plan ahead—and avoid surprises.

Let’s walk through the key factors that affect pricing.

How Junk Removal Pricing Is Calculated

Our pricing is primarily based on how much space your items take up in our 15-cubic-yard dump truck. We’ve divided the truck into 10 volume-based price tiers. When our team arrives, we’ll walk around with you, assess your items, and provide a clear, upfront price before anything is loaded.

Thanks to years of experience and thousands of jobs, our team can estimate volume with precision—so you’ll know exactly what to expect.

Labor and Accessibility Impact Junk Removal Pricing

No two junk jobs are the same. Removing an old table from your driveway is quick work, but hauling items from a third-floor attic or a tight basement? That takes extra time and labor.

While our junk removal pricing includes all the loading and cleanup, labor intensity can affect where your job lands on the pricing scale.

Weight Considerations: When Extra Fees May Apply

In most cases, weight isn’t a concern. But some materials—like tile, drywall, water-damaged wood, stone, or concrete—can drastically increase the truck’s load weight. That’s when weight-based fees may come into play.

We’ll always flag this during the quote process so you’re never caught off guard.
