Before we take on any project, we will provide you with an up front estimate based upon what junk is visible to us. In almost all cases, this will be the price we charge. However. sometimes, during the course of the job, something may come up that was impossible to foresee. In those rare instances, we will bring the items to your attention for repricing.
Large items that don't weigh much but take up a lot of space (for instance mattresses, couches) Disposal facilities have a minimum gate rate. If the truck is filled up with bulky items, chances are that the minimum will not be met and we will have to pay the 1 ton minimum price.
Disposal facilities charge us by weight, usually $200/ ton. If your project has heavy items, we will factor the weight of those items into our pricing. For instance, if an item weighs about 50 pounds, you can expect to pay around $17 for disposal of that item.
The amount of labor that will be needed to load your items into the truck. The closer your items are to the truck, the less labor will be necessary.
It takes time and fuel to arrive at the location of your project. Because of this we must set a minimum for every job we take. Our minimum rate is $140. Typically, if your junk will fit into the back of a standard size pickup truck, the charge will be $140.
