How to price junk removal

Most haulers price by how much of the truck a job fills: a quarter, half, three-quarters or a full load. Behind that number sit crew time, fuel and the dump fee, plus extra fees for items like refrigerators (freon) and mattresses. Price all of it to your margin and set a minimum for single-item pickups.

FAQ

How do I estimate how much of the truck a job fills?

Measure the pile (length × width × height ÷ 27 = cubic yards) and compare it to your truck's capacity.

Do I charge extra for appliances?

Usually, because freon removal and recycling add fees.
