Prices are for the Billings metro: the city and its close suburbs. Dense blocks in Downtown Billings run higher because of stairs and parking; areas with driveways, like Laurel, Lockwood & the Heights, usually run lower.
Junk removal prices across Billings
Where you live changes the job. Walk-ups, elevators and street parking in Downtown Billings add time; driveways and garages in areas like Laurel, Lockwood & the Heights make loading quick.
Downtown Billings
- Half load
- $370–$620 per load
- Single item
- $60–$210 / single bulky item
Tight streets and buildings with rules about move-out times make jobs slower here. Book a weekday morning and tell the hauler about stairs up front.
South Side Billings
- Half load
- $350–$590 per load
- Single item
- $55–$200 / single bulky item
Prices run near or a little above the city typical. Older walk-up buildings mean more stair carries; houses with alley or driveway access load faster.
West End & Rimrock
- Half load
- $310–$530 per load
- Single item
- $50–$180 / single bulky item
Lots of small loads from rentals here. If you're a landlord, ask about a price for several units in one trip.
Laurel, Lockwood & the Heights
- Half load
- $290–$510 per load
- Single item
- $50–$170 / single bulky item
Easy access and open driveways keep prices a little under the city typical. Sheds, hot tubs and yard debris are common add-ons.
Real-world junk removal costs in Billings
Here's what common junk removal jobs cost in Billings in 2026, crew, loading and disposal included.
One old couch or mattress
A single couch costs $75–$250 and a mattress $55–$150. Most haulers have a minimum charge of $60–$170, so adding a second small item often costs little more.
Clear out a two-car garage
Expect $240–$590 for a two-car garage, and closer to the top if it's packed or holds tires or a fridge, which cost extra to dump. Old paint and chemicals usually go to a county drop-off instead.
Kitchen or bathroom remodel debris
Drywall, cabinets and tile are heavy, so haulers price debris by the truckload at $290–$890. A dumpster at $250–$700 a week can be cheaper if you'll fill it over several days.
Old hot tub out of the backyard
The crew cuts the tub into pieces and hauls it away for $200–$790. Ask whether cutting the power and any deck or concrete work are in the price.
Whole-house or estate cleanout
Clearing a full 3-bedroom house usually takes several truckloads, at $980–$2,450 in all. Ask for donation drop-offs and a sweep-up to be in the price.

What moves a junk removal quote in Billings:
- How much of the truck you fill: from $90–$250 for an eighth to $540–$1,100 for a full load.
- Weight: dirt, concrete, roofing and drywall cost more to dump than furniture, so heavy loads are priced higher.
- Special items: fridges, mattresses and tires carry disposal fees; a fridge alone runs $75–$220.
- Access: stairs, long carries and no elevator add labor time, and some haulers add a charge for each floor.
- Timing: same-day and after-hours jobs can cost more; booking a few days ahead is usually cheaper.
Ask every Billings hauler for one all-in price that covers loading, the drive, disposal and any item fees. Compare that number, not the advertised minimum. Get a quote for your junk job →
Junk removal cost in Billings by load size
An eighth of a truck is about $90–$250, a half truck $240–$590, and a full truck $540–$1,100 in Billings, loading and disposal included.
Worked example: two quarter loads at $220 each come to $440. One half load holding the same junk is $390, so splitting a job into two trips costs you about $50 more.
The bigger the load, the less you pay per cubic yard. A full truck at $730 costs less than two half trucks at $390 each ($780), because the crew, the drive and the trip to the dump happen once.
Ways to get rid of junk in Billings compared
| Way to get rid of it | Cost | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Hauler, eighth of a truck (they load it) | $90–$250 per load | One or two bulky pieces, like a couch or a washer and dryer |
| Hauler, quarter truck | $150–$370 per load | A bedroom set or a corner of the garage |
| Hauler, half truck | $240–$590 per load | Several rooms, a crowded garage, or anything heavy you can't carry |
| Hauler, full truck | $540–$1,100 per load | Moves, big garage or basement cleanouts |
| Dumpster rental (you load it) | $250–$700 per week | Remodels and cleanouts that take several days |
| Dumpster bag (you load it) | $150–$290 per bag | Small projects with room on the driveway |
| Whole-house cleanout crew | $980–$2,450 per 3-bedroom home | Estates, move-outs and downsizing |
| City bulky item pickup | Often free for eligible homes | One or two big items you can carry to the curb and wait for |
Per-item price vs load price in Billings
Per-item pricing works for one or two things. A couch at $120, a mattress at $100 and a fridge at $130 add up to $350. A quarter truck, which holds all three, is $220. Once you have three or more bulky pieces, ask for a load price.
Doing it yourself? A 10–20 yard dumpster costs $250–$700 a week and a dumpster bag $150–$290, but you do all the lifting. A half truckload with a crew is $390, loaded and gone the same day.
What's included in a Billings junk removal quote (and what costs extra)
A standard quote covers the crew, loading from anywhere on the property, the truck, the drive, and dump or recycling fees for normal household junk. It usually leaves out:
- Refrigerant removal for fridges, freezers and AC units, part of why a fridge runs $75–$220
- Tire and mattress fees: tires $5–$25 each at many haulers, mattresses $55–$150
- Stairs and long carries: some haulers add a charge per floor without an elevator
- Tear-down work: hot tubs ($200–$790) are priced as their own job, and so are sheds
Hazardous waste like paint, chemicals, propane tanks and asbestos is usually not taken; ask your county about drop-off days.
How much of the truck you fill
Volume is the main price driver. An eighth of a truck costs $90–$250 in Billings, a half $240–$590 and a full truck $540–$1,100.
Weight and material
Heavy loads cost more to dump. Remodel debris runs $290–$890 a truckload, and some haulers cap how much dirt, concrete or roofing they'll take in one load.
Items with disposal fees
Refrigerators and freezers need their refrigerant removed ($75–$220 each), mattresses and tires cost extra at many dumps, and TVs and computers often go to an electronics recycler ($45–$150).
Stairs and carrying distance
Crews price the work, not just the junk. Upper floors without an elevator, long hallways and tight basements add labor time, and some haulers charge per floor.
Local dump fees
Landfill fees vary a lot by region: about $84 a ton on average in the Northeast against $43 in the Southeast (EREF, 2023 data). Haulers pass those costs on.
Timing
Same-day and after-hours jobs can cost more. Spring and early summer are busy, so prices can run a little higher then. Booking a few days ahead is usually cheaper.
Local labor
Billings laborers and movers earn a median of about $21.32 an hour (BLS, May 2025), against $19.35 nationally. Dump fees and local demand matter as much as wages here: the typical Billings half load is $390, close to the $400 national typical.
- Check the city's bulky pickup first.Many cities pick up couches, mattresses and other big items at the curb for free or a small fee. You carry it out and wait, but it can cost nothing.
- Fill one load instead of two.A full truck ($730 typical) costs less than two half loads ($780). Save it up and do it in one trip.
- Get a load price for three or more items.Item-by-item prices add up fast: three bulky pieces can cost $350 one by one, against $220 for a quarter truck.
- Donate or sell what still works.Charities and resale groups often pick up good furniture for free. Every piece they take is one you don't pay to haul.
- Move it to the curb or garage.Some haulers knock a little off for curbside pickup because the crew doesn't have to carry it out. Ask when you book.
- Book ahead, not same-day.Same-day jobs can cost more. If it can wait a few days, book ahead and compare two or three quotes.
