A few things cost more to get rid of.
These aren't random fees. Some disposal facilities charge separately for these materials.
Mattress
+$30–$40 each, possible
Mattresses and box springs are handled separately at disposal.
Appliance
+$20–$40 each, possible
Fridges, washers, dryers and similar appliances.
TV / Monitor
+$20–$30 each, possible

Tires
Custom surcharge

Heavy stuff works differently.
Dense material is not priced by how much of the truck it fills. A truck that looks half empty can already be at its safe weight limit, so we never promise a full load of concrete, dirt or anything similar.

Straight answers.
The things people ask before they hand over a garage full of stuff.
How much does junk removal cost?
Starting estimates run from around $125 for a minimum load up to around $650 for a full truck. Your final price depends on volume, weight, access, special disposal requirements and travel. We'll confirm your final price before anything gets loaded.
How does Junkiez determine my price?
Five things: how much space your junk takes up in the truck, how heavy it is, how hard it is to reach, whether any items carry a separate disposal charge, and how far away you are. That's it.
Can I get a quote from photos?
Yes, and it's the fastest way. Send clear photos through the estimate form, standing back far enough that we can see everything. We'll reply with a starting estimate, then confirm the final price in person before loading.
Is the website price guaranteed?
No. These are starting estimates, not guaranteed quotes. We confirm your final price on site, before anything gets loaded, so you can decide with the real number in front of you.
Do you charge for stairs?
Sometimes. A long carry or stairs can add about $25–$50, basement removal about $50–$75, and multiple flights about $50–$100. These are approximate and are not added to every job.
Do you charge extra for heavy items?
Disassembly or an especially heavy item can add about $25–$100+. Dense materials like concrete, dirt or brick are different: they always get a custom estimate based on weight.
Do you remove mattresses?
Yes. Because disposal facilities charge separately for mattresses, a surcharge of about $30–$40 each may apply.
Do you remove appliances?
Yes, by evaluation. A disposal surcharge of about $20–$40 each may apply. Tell us what kind of appliance it is in the form.
Do you remove TVs?
Yes, by evaluation. TVs and monitors are processed as electronics, so a surcharge of about $20–$30 each may apply.
Can you remove construction debris?
Light construction debris, by evaluation. Dense debris such as concrete, brick, tile, plaster or roofing is quoted separately because weight, not volume, sets the price.
Can you take concrete?
Possibly, with a custom estimate. Concrete is priced on estimated weight, payload capacity, disposal cost and labor. We will never fill a truck with concrete or similar material, because a small pile can already be at the truck's safe limit. Send us photos.
What can't Junkiez take?
Hazardous material: asbestos, chemicals, solvents, fuels, flammable or unknown liquids, pesticides, medical or biohazardous waste, sharps, ammunition, explosives and similar items. Some batteries and pressurized tanks need evaluation first. If you're not sure, send us a picture.
Do I need to move everything outside?
No. We carry it from where it sits. If it's already on the driveway or curb, that's the easiest pickup and avoids access charges.
Do you offer same-day removal?
Sometimes, depending on the day's schedule. Add your preferred date and time in the estimate form and we'll tell you what we can do.
What happens after I submit my estimate?
Your photos and details go straight to the Junkiez crew. We review them and reach out using your preferred contact method with a starting estimate or a couple of questions, then set a time. On site, we confirm the final price before loading.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule?
Cancelling or rescheduling is free. Just let us know as early as you can. If we ever have to move your job, there's no charge to you.
When and how do I pay?
After the job is done, never before. We accept credit and debit cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay (tap to pay), and Venmo. If you don't like the final price we confirm on site, you can say no before anything is loaded and owe nothing.
Where does my junk go?
To the appropriate disposal facility for the material. Items like mattresses, appliances, electronics and tires are handled separately because facilities require it. Hazardous material is never mixed into a regular load.
Do I have to be home?
Not always. We do need to confirm the final price with you before anything is loaded. If you can't be there, we can arrange ahead of time to do that by phone or text. Just leave the items where we can reach them and let us know.
