US prices, November 2026. Low is a simple job in a low-cost area; high is a bigger job or a high-cost city.
Yes. The same job costs more where labor and rent cost more. Here's how junk removal prices in the biggest US metros compare with the US typical of $400.
Labor, rent and demand move every job on this page in the same direction. Open your city's guide for its full local price list.
A cleanout crew empties the space, loads everything onto the truck, sorts what can be donated or recycled, and hauls the rest to the dump. Most finish with a sweep-up. Ask whether donation drop-offs and receipts are in the price.
A one-car garage runs about $150–$400, a two-car garage $250–$600 and a three-car garage $350–$800. Old paint, chemicals and propane tanks usually aren't taken; your county's hazardous waste drop-off is the place for those.
Clearing a whole 3-bedroom house usually takes several truckloads and anywhere from one day to several days: $1,000–$2,500. A single room or small apartment runs $275–$800, and a large estate of five or more bedrooms $2,500–$6,000.
If there are things of value, sort them first or bring in an estate sale company. Those firms often take 35–40% of what they sell, but what sells is junk you don't pay to haul.
Hoarder homes take longer because every room has to be gone through by hand. One guide puts the work at about $1–$2 a square foot, or $1,000–$4,000 for a typical home. If there's mold, pests or waste, biohazard cleaning raises it to about $1,500–$5,000.
Take what family wants first, then donate, sell or give away the rest. Have the crew do it all in one visit rather than coming back. Get two or three written quotes that list truckloads, donation runs and the sweep-up.

As little as one day or as long as several days, depending on how big the home is and how full it is. Taking out what the family wants first makes it go faster.
Most will. Ask for it to be part of the quote, and ask for donation receipts if you want them for taxes.
