FAQs for hauling projects in Owensboro, KY

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.
