How Much Does Junk Removal Cost?

When you’re staring at a garage full of “I’ll deal with it later,” or a couch that’s been promoted from furniture to very large paperweight, it’s only natural to wonder what it’ll cost to finally clear it all out. At Zebra Junk Removal, we like to keep things simple, honest, and drama-free. No weird extra charges, no stair fees, no “because we can” add-ons — just straightforward pricing and a crew that shows up ready to make your space feel livable again. Below, we break down what actually goes into junk removal pricing and how to get the best value for your cleanup.

Average Cost of Junk Removal

Every job is different, but most junk removal services fall within these price ranges:

• Small loads: $75–$250

• Medium loads: $250–$500

• Large loads or full truckloads: $500–$1,00+

And here’s something many people don’t realize: the more space you fill in the truck, the cheaper it becomes per cubic yard. In other words, removing everything at once is usually the most cost-effective option.

“But what is a small load? Medium load? I don’t know how much stuff that is!”

Great question — and one we hear often. At Zebra Junk Removal, our pricing is based on a 15-cubic-yard trailer, the same capacity used by major competitors like 1-800-GOT-JUNK. This makes it easy to compare value and understand exactly what you’re paying for.

Here’s our straightforward, volume-based pricing:

• Quarter Load: $250

• Half Load: $400

• Full Load: $700

This structure keeps things predictable, transparent, and fair — and remember, the more space you use, the cheaper the price becomes per cubic yard.

Here is our pricing sheet:

What Affects the Cost of Junk Removal?

1. Volume (How Much Junk You Have)

Most junk removal pricing is based on how much of the truck your junk fills. More volume = lower cost per unit of space. Instead of paying for multiple small pickups, filling more of the truck at once gives you a better rate.

2. Type of Items

Some items require special disposal or heavy lifting, including:

• Appliances

• Mattresses

• Construction debris

• Electronics

• Hot tubs

• Pianos

• Tires

These may affect cost slightly due to weight or recycling regulations.

3. Labor & Accessibility (We Keep It Simple)

Here’s where Zebra Junk Removal stands out:

❌ No charging per stair.

❌ No fees for an extra 100 feet of walking.

❌ No extra charges for carrying items from farther inside your home.

Many big-name companies charge these types of “access fees,” but we don’t. If we can safely reach the items, we’ll get them out — without nickel-and-diming you.

4. Dumping & Recycling Fees

Disposal facilities and recycling centers charge based on material type and weight. Heavy materials like concrete and shingles typically cost more, while recyclable items may require additional handling.
