The most common question we get — by text, by phone, at the curb — is “what’s this going to cost me?” Fair question. Most junk removal websites dodge it with “call for a quote.” We’re a local, family-owned company, so here are our real numbers.
The short version: real 2026 prices
| Job size | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Single item | $125 minimum pickup fee | One couch, mattress, or fridge |
| Small load | $200–$500 | 6×12 trailer, up to 4,000 lbs |
| Medium load | $500–$800 | Double-axle dump trailer, up to 8,000 lbs |
| Large load | $800–$1,000 | 7×14 trailer, up to 12,000 lbs |
| Multiple loads | Quoted per job | Estate cleanouts, hoarding cleanup |
Every job gets a firm price before we touch anything, and the estimate is free — text photos to (503) 455-7920 and you’ll usually have a number within the hour.

What actually changes the price
1. Volume. Junk removal is priced by how much space your stuff takes in the trailer. More volume, more cost — simple.
2. Weight. Concrete, dirt, and roofing are priced differently than furniture because transfer stations charge us by the ton.
3. Access. A curbside couch takes ten minutes. A couch in a third-floor walk-up takes a crew and half an hour. Stairs and tight spaces add labor time.
4. Special items. Hot tubs, pianos, and safes need cutting, extra crew, or special handling — they’re quoted individually.
How to LOWER your price
We discount for items we can donate or recycle. Usable furniture and working appliances go to local charities — and your bill drops for every donate-able item. It keeps good stuff out of the landfill and money in your pocket.
DIY vs. hiring it out: the honest math
Could you haul it yourself? Sure. Here’s what that involves in the Portland metro: truck rental (~$20–40 plus mileage), the $51 transfer station minimum for garbage loads (Metro’s new rate as of July 1, 2026), the line at the dump, and your Saturday. For a single carload, DIY often wins. For anything bigger, professional removal usually costs less than people expect once the rental, dump fees, and lost weekend are counted — and we do all the lifting.
