What Affects Junk Removal Cost?

Volume

The biggest factor is how much stuff you have. More items = higher cost. We price based on how much space your items take in our truck.

Type of Materials

Standard household items are our base rate. Heavy items (concrete, dirt), hazardous materials (requires special handling), and appliances with refrigerants may cost more.

Accessibility

Ground-floor items with easy truck access are straightforward. Upstairs rooms, tight stairways, and long carry distances may affect pricing.

Location

We're based in Billerica, MA and serve all of Middlesex County. Nearby towns (Billerica, Tewksbury, Wilmington, Burlington, Chelmsford) get the fastest service and best rates.

Junk Removal vs. Dumpster Rental Cost

| Scenario | Junk Removal | Dumpster Rental |

|----------|-------------|-----------------|

| 1-3 items | $75-300 (better) | $350+ (overkill) |

| Garage cleanout | $400-700 | $450-700 (similar) |

| Kitchen renovation | Not ideal | $500-800 (better) |

| Estate cleanout | $1,500-4,000 | $1,000-2,000 (cheaper but you load) |

Rule of thumb: For small jobs where you can't do the lifting, junk removal is the way to go. For large renovation projects with ongoing debris, a dumpster rental is more cost-effective.
