Junk removal is priced by volume across the industry, and for good reason: it is the one thing that can be agreed before any work starts. We look at what is going, work out what fraction of the truck bed it will occupy, and give you that number. You approve it before anything gets loaded.
What that number covers: the crew, the carry out of wherever it currently sits, loading, sweeping the space when it is clear, and every disposal, recycling and transfer station fee at the other end. There is no separate stair charge, no fuel surcharge, and no weight surcharge.
The fastest way to get a real figure is to text a photo. Most jobs can be priced from a picture the same day. For a whole house, an estate, or anything where the access is the problem, a free on-site look takes about fifteen minutes and gives you a firm number rather than a range.
You pay for the space you fill
Labor, loading, sweep-up and disposal fees are all inside the quoted number.
A short list, and it is almost entirely hazardous material. Lake County runs household hazardous waste collection that takes most of it, and we will point you at the right drop-off rather than leaving you with a pile and no answer.
How it works
Text a picture of the pile, the room or the item. Most jobs can be priced from that without anybody coming out.
You get a flat, all-in price covering labor, loading, sweep-up and disposal fees. Not an hourly rate that moves.
Same-day and next-day are often open. If you are working to a closing or a delivery window, we schedule around it.
We carry it out - stairs and basements included - sweep the space and haul it off. You approve the price before anything moves.

Questions
Because an hourly rate punishes you for the things you cannot control - a narrow stairwell, a long carry from the back of the lot, a heavier load than it looked. Volume is measurable before we start, which means the number you agree to is the number at the end.
Yes. There is a minimum that covers the truck and the crew coming out, which applies to single-item jobs like one mattress or one refrigerator. It is still worth calling for a single item - that is a large share of what we do.
No. Stairs, basements, distance within the county, sweeping up and the landfill, recycling and electronics disposal fees are all inside the quote. The only thing that changes a price is if the load turns out to be substantially more than what was described, and we tell you before we load it, not after.
Payment is due when the job is finished and the load is on the truck. Call for the current list of accepted payment methods.
