Appliances and large, bulky items like pianos$100 to $650
Hot tubs$250 to $450
Mattresses$70 to $120
Hazardous waste$50 to $500
Electronic waste (e-waste)$60 to $200
Tires$5 to $15
Refrigerant/freon$50 to $150
Latex paint$5 to $10 per gallon
Building/construction waste$100 to $800, depending on the debris type and amount
Dumpster rental (self-service)$300 to $800 weekly

Key Takeaway: Bigger and heavier junk costs more to haul. It’s more expensive to remove construction debris than residential waste due to limited construction dump facilities.

Factors Impacting Junk Removal Prices

In addition to the amount and type of junk, the following factors affect the total cost of hauling junk:

  • Location: Competition, seasonality, demand, taxes, and fuel prices in your service area influence junk removal pricing. For example, Junk King charges around $500 for hauling a full truckload in Oklahoma but prices the same job at $800 in New York.
  • Labor: Full truckloads demand more loading time and manpower, whereas small loads are easier to move. 
  • Local Disposal Fees: Tires, electronics, and hazardous waste incur additional fees as municipalities require specific disposal methods.
