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.
Even one couch means a truck, two people, fuel and a trip to the dump. That's why most haulers have a minimum charge of $60–$175. A second small item often adds little, so clear out anything else you can in the same visit.
Refrigerators, freezers and window AC units cost more ($75–$220) because the refrigerant has to be removed before they're scrapped. Pianos ($200–$600) are heavy and awkward, and stairs push them to the top of the range.
Hot tubs ($200–$800) have to be cut apart first. Mattresses and tires carry dump fees in many places, and TVs and computers often have to go to an electronics recycler.
Many cities pick up bulky items at the curb. Los Angeles takes couches, mattresses, carpet and TVs from homes of one to four units for free, and New York collects furniture and bagged mattresses at the curb.
Retailers often take the old one when they deliver a new one: Best Buy charges $49.99 to haul away an appliance or TV with a delivery. Charities may pick up furniture in good shape for free.
Send a photo and say where the item sits and what floor it's on. Ask for the all-in price, including any disposal fee. If you have three or more items, ask for a load price instead.
