"Ricardo removed my concrete driveway in my backyard. He was easy to communicate with and adjusted to working in the back alley that was blocked causing extra work for him. Since the project was close to my neighbors he was respectful of the start time and completed the project in less than 3 hours. He was able to adapt to my specific needs so I would recommend being clear with him as he was incredibly easy to work with on changes that came up."

"Elias with EBM Construction was amazing. He handle many jobs for us in one week with incredible detail to his work. Elias showed up every morning on time and stayed till 7 pm. Elias installed two new doors in the entryway and to the backyard. EBM also torn down an old sunroom and repaired the deck. Elias also demoed a 50 + year old side fence between us and the neighbor and rebuilt a new redwood fence. EBM also handled all the demo materials and yard waste by hauling to the dump. Cannot say anything but great things about Elias and EBM Construction. We actually are having Elias scheduled for more help in our rehab. Secondary note the neighbors saw his amazing work and now want to use EBM Construction for their jobs."

"Mauricio from Solid Ground Landscaping LLC is an incredible gardener, handyman, landscaper, etc. and there is pretty much nothing that he cannot do with amazing talent! He came very highly recommended and got to work the same day with a very hard working crew, punctual and ready to work and did above and beyond what I asked him to do. He knows how to do everything (handyman, electrician, plumbing, pavers, sprinklers, junk removal, cement and patio work, and so much more!) He is truly your Go To Guy! I truly value and respect our working relationship and his overall work ethic. He will not let you down! I can usually call him and he is often times available to work that same day! His prices are also very reasonable for the high quality of work he provides. No job. Is too small or too large for his company to take on! He is truly the best!"

The kinds of items or materials accepted will vary by hauling company. Some companies will not handle hazardous waste, but hiring ones that do will cost from $5 to $100 or more, depending on what type and quantity of material.
Most companies will haul items such as:
Construction and remodeling waste: $100–$600
Appliances: $50–$600
Furniture: $50–$400
Electronics: $60–$200
Yard waste: $70–$500
The cost to hire a professional junk hauling service ranges from $60 to $600, averaging about $270. Your final price is determined by the type of junk, amount of junk, the distance to the dumpsite, and the equipment required to move and haul your items or materials. Keep in mind that construction junk removal is more expensive than hauling household items, so expect to pay $800 for removing large piles of debris.
Although you’re not required to tip contractors of any kind, this gesture of appreciation for a job well done is always appreciated. If the junk haulers went above and beyond to do a good job, tipping $20 to $50 or 15% to 20% of the job total is a good rule of thumb. Consider tipping in cash at the end of the junk-hauling job to each worker.
Depending on the junk removal company, they may throw your unwanted items away in a dumpsite or take them to a recycling facility. Other junk removal services may take to a local donation organization for repurposing. When considering which junk removal company to hire, ask them about their policy for disposing of your belongings. No matter where it ends up, junk hauling companies can remove everything you need, even if it takes a few trips.
When deciding whether to rent a dumpster or hire a junk removal service to remove waste from your home, consider how quickly you need to complete this task and the amount and weight of the unwanted items. Renting a dumpster is ideal for scenarios where you need several days to empty out waste, such as construction waste, yard debris, and large furniture items. However, you’ll have to load it yourself. On the other hand, hiring a local junk removal service works well for quick and hands-free tasks, as the pros will remove hard-to-move items within a few hours.
From average costs to expert advice, get all the answers you need to get your job done.
Junk removal costs depend on the volume and type of waste you need removed, but paying a professional saves you time and energy over hauling it yourself.
