2026 Junk Removal Price Book

Junk removal pricing lives and dies on truck volume. This book gives you fraction-of-truck baselines for a standard 15-yard box truck, single-item pricing, stairs and long-carry surcharges, and a disposal-cost worksheet so every load clears margin.

What's inside

Fraction-of-truck baselines: minimum pickup through full truck
Single-item rates: mattresses, appliances, hot tubs, pianos, e-waste
Surcharges: stairs, long carry, heavy material bedloads, same-day
Disposal-cost worksheet: tipping fees, fuel, labor, overhead
Donation and recycling routing to cut landfill cost
Minimum charges for residential, curbside, and commercial cleanouts

Quick questions

How do I quote a load I have not seen?

Quote the fraction the load will fill after compaction, not how it looks in the garage. The book includes the crew calibration rule: teams under-call by one fraction on average.

How do I handle heavy material like concrete or dirt?

Never on standard fractions. Price heavy material per bedload (a 1/8-truck equivalent) so tipping-fee weight does not erase the job's margin.
