UP FRONT ESTIMATE
No Surprises
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.
Our pricing is tailored to your project and we always will provide you with an upfront estimate before we start any job. On larger jobs, we will have someone come in advance to provide you with an estimate free of charge. Whether we come in advance or with the truck ready to work, you always have the choice to reschedule or choose another junk removal service.
Some of the factors we use in calculating your estimate are shown below:
Bulk
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.
Weight
Disposal facilities charge us by weight, usually $240/ ton. If your project has heavy items, we will factor the weight of those items into our pricing.
Labor
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.
Minimum
t 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 $200. Typically, if your junk will fit into the back of a standard size pickup truck, the charge will be $200 (does not apply to heavier materials such as tile, cement, dirt , plaster etc, which are priced based upon their weight. In all circumstances, we reserve the right to assess the price of your project when viewed in person.)
What is the cheapest way to get rid of junk?
The cheapest way to get rid of junk is often through self-removal methods. This involves sorting and disposing of the junk yourself, rather than hiring a professional junk removal service. While it may require some extra effort on your part, it can save you money.
Here are a few cost-effective options for getting rid of your junk:
- Curbside Pickup: Many municipalities offer scheduled curbside pickup for bulk items, such as furniture or appliances. Check with your local waste management department to see if they provide this service and what the guidelines and restrictions are.
- Recycling Centers: Some materials, like electronics and certain types of household waste, can be recycled. Look for local recycling centers or drop-off locations that accept these items for free or at a nominal cost. By recycling, you not only get rid of your junk but also contribute to a more sustainable environment.
- Donation: If your items are still in good condition and can be used by others, consider donating them to charitable organizations. Many donation centers will accept furniture, clothing, appliances, and other items. Not only will you be getting rid of your junk, but you’ll also be helping those in need.
Salvation Army, Goodwill and Habitat for Humanity are but a few places to try.
.
- Online Marketplaces: You can also try selling your junk online through platforms such as Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace. This allows you to make some money while decluttering your space. Just be sure to accurately describe the condition of the items and provide clear photos to attract potential buyers.
- If you have a lot of junk to get rid of and have exhausted all other means, a dumpster rental may be the right option for you. Altri Junk Removal and Dumpster Rentals can help. Visit out page at: Dumpster Rentals
