Here’s how to schedule a custom, free junk removal estimate so you know exactly what your local The Junkluggers would charge:

  • Find your local Junkluggers locationor call 1-(313) 547-4798.
  • Schedule a free estimate over the phone or with our estimate request form.
  • We’ll come to your location at the scheduled time to see what you need us to haul away and take note of any other details, such as parking and loading locations and what other equipment we may need.
  • We’ll provide a written junk removal estimate in person.
  • If you approve, we’ll get to right to work, hauling your items away to be donated, recycled, or disposed of.

Your junk removal rates will never be more than the written estimate. In fact, if items take up less space than expected, you may be offered a discount on the original junk removal quote, according to the discretion of the individual location. 

The Junkluggers Pricing: Average Cost of Junk Removal Services

Your local The Junkluggers junk hauling services may cost anywhere from $99 to $1000+. However, the best way to get an accurate junk removal cost estimate is to request one from the nearest location. Junk hauling rates can vary because every location is locally owned and local requirements vary. Additionally, items must be evaluated in person to inform precise pricing.

Junk Removal Cost Calculation Factors

How is junk removal cost calculated by The Junkluggers? Prices are based on how much room the items will take up in The Junkluggers’ truck. So, the size and number of items are the primary factors affecting junk removal pricing. To produce our on-site estimate, we measure large items and evaluate the approximate volume of other junk. One truck holds the contents of a studio apartment or small one-bedroom apartment.

A same-day junk pickup cost estimate isn’t any different from one scheduled further in advance. The only exceptions to our pricing approach are related to heavy construction materials and extra labor requests, both detailed in the FAQ section on this page.

How does junk removal pricing work for other brands? Many of our competitors use different junk removal pricing models based on factors that may be more vague or fluid. So, what affects junk removal pricing the most is quite different for each business. Be sure to choose a service provider who offers fair and transparent pricing models for junk removal services.

How Does Our Pricing Compare to Others?

We like to think the well-known brands in our industry all do their best to be fair. But an average cost comparison for junk removal jobs sometimes shows surprising differences between companies. That is mostly due to differences in pricing models and service approach, so it’s important to double-check all details before comparing two companies 1:1. For example, a cost comparison of an eco-friendly vs. standard junk removal service may tell you they cost about the same, but the value you get for that price will differ. Your choice depends on what matters to you most. 

These are some of the major junk removal companies offering flat-rate pricing vs. by-the-truckload pricing:

  • By the truckload: The Junkluggers, 1-800-GOT-JUNK?, Junk King, College HUNKS Hauling Junk
  • Flat rate: LoadUp, Lugg, Dropcurb, most smaller independent haulers
