Short answer: 2026 national cost guides put most junk removal jobs between about $150 and $500, with an average around $225 to $250 per job. Your actual price depends on how much space your items take up in the truck, how heavy they are and how hard they are to reach. Every job is different, so we give you a free estimate on site or from photos before any work starts.

Most junk removal companies, including us, price by volume: how much of the truck your items fill. That one flat-rate price usually covers:
You get the price before we start. If you add items on the day, we quote the extra first and only load it once you say yes.
These are 2026 national ranges reported by HireAHelper. Prices in the South Bay can differ because labor, fuel and dump fees vary by area.
| Load size | About how much | National range |
|---|---|---|
| 1/8 truck | A few bulky items, like a recliner and some bags | $75 to $125 |
| 1/4 truck | A couch, a mattress set and a few boxes | $125 to $200 |
| 1/2 truck | A room’s worth of furniture or a small garage | $200 to $400 |
| 3/4 truck | A packed garage or a small apartment | $400 to $600 |
| Full truck | A whole-house or estate cleanout (some need more than one load) | $600 to $800 |
National guides list single-item pickups anywhere from about $60 to $400, and many companies have a minimum charge. Common examples from LawnStarter’s 2026 cost guide:
Items with their own disposal fees, like mattresses, box springs, tires, appliances and electronics, are always listed separately on your quote so there are no surprises.
A dumpster can make sense for a long remodel. For most cleanouts, a full-service crew is simpler: we do the loading, there is no permit or driveway damage to worry about, and you only pay for the space you use. See dumpster rentals to compare.
We never transport hazardous materials, including paint, solvents, pesticides, fuel, propane tanks, asbestos and medical waste. Your county’s household hazardous waste program takes these for free or at low cost.
