The short version
You pay for the space, confirmed before we start
Our pricing is primarily based on how much space your items take up in our truck. Standard pricing generally includes removal, loading, hauling and disposal. Heavy materials, specialty items, difficult access, stairs, excessive labor or special disposal requirements may affect the final price. Curbside pickups may qualify for lower pricing. Contact us with photos and general location for the most accurate estimate.
-
How much space it takes
The starting point for every job. The more of the truck or trailer your items fill, the higher the load size.
-
What it’s made of
Concrete, dirt, bricks, shingles and other dense material weigh more and cost more to dispose of than the same space of household items.
-
Getting it to the truck
Stairs, basements, narrow doorways, long carries and anything that has to be taken apart first add labor.
Load sizes
What each load size costs
The green bar is how much of the truck your job fills. Same prices in our 15-foot box truck and our 7×14 high-wall dump trailer — they hold about the same.
-
Minimum
From $125
A small, standard pickup — our minimum starting charge.
-
⅛ load
$150
A few bulky items or a small pile.
-
¼ load
$225
A single room’s worth of household items.
-
½ load
$400
A garage bay or a small basement.
-
¾ load
$550
A large garage, shed or attic.
-
Full load
$725
A full truck or trailer — most whole-house cleanouts start here.
Our $125 minimum is a starting charge for a small, standard pickup — not a single-item price. Some individual items, like pianos, large sectionals or extremely heavy pieces, are quoted separately because of their size, weight, labor or disposal requirements.
Included
What the price covers
- Removal from anywhere on the property — you don’t have to move it out
- All loading and labor
- Hauling
- Disposal, donation or recycling
You don’t pre-sort anything and you don’t carry anything to the curb. That’s part of the job, not an extra.
Can change it
What can move the price
- Heavy materials — construction debris, concrete, dirt, bricks and shingles
- Specialty, oversized or unusually heavy items like pianos and large sectionals
- Items in basements, upstairs, or hard-to-reach areas
- Items that must be dismantled, cut apart or broken down first
- Narrow doorways, long carries or limited truck access
- Materials that carry additional or special disposal fees
- Distance — jobs farther from our Hamilton shop may include a travel fee
Every one of these is something we can see in your photos, which is why they end up in the quote rather than as a surprise on the day.
Same space, different price
Why a quarter load isn’t always $225
¼ load of household items
$225
Furniture, boxes, bags — the standard rate.
¼ load of construction debris
More than $225
Same space, but heavier, more labor, higher disposal fees.
A ¼ load of regular household items is $225. A ¼ load of dense construction material costs more — it takes the same space, but it weighs more, takes more labor, and costs more to dispose of.
Spelled out
Other charges you might see
- Tires
- We take up to five tires per pickup, with or without rims. Tire pricing is separate from the load-size rates — tell us how many you have and we’ll quote it.
- Specialty items
- Quoted separately — pianos, large sectionals, extremely heavy pieces
- Travel fee
- Only for jobs farther from Hamilton, and always in your quote
- Delivery to a charity
- A small additional fee, if you’ve arranged the donation yourself
Tires, specialty items and anything needing special disposal are quoted with the job, so you see the whole number before we start.

FAQ
Pricing questions
Is the $125 a per-item price?
No. The $125 is our minimum starting charge for a small, standard pickup, not a single-item rate. Some individual items — pianos, large sectionals, extremely heavy pieces — are quoted separately because of the size, weight, labor or disposal they require.
Is the estimate free?
Yes. Text or send us photos of what needs to go with your general location and we will quote it quickly, or book an in-person estimate — that visit is free too.
Can the price change once you arrive?
Before anything is loaded, the crew checks the job against your quote and confirms the price with you — in person if you are there, or by phone or text if you are not. The number you agree to is the number you pay.
Do stairs or a long walk to the truck cost extra?
They can. Items in basements, upstairs or other hard-to-reach spots, narrow doorways and long carries all add labor. Mention them when you send photos and they are counted into the quote up front rather than discovered on the day.
Is there a travel fee?
Jobs farther from our Hamilton shop may include a travel fee. If one applies to your job, it is part of the quote you approve before we book — never added afterwards.
Do I have to pay a deposit?
No. You pay once the job is finished, unless we agree something else in advance. We take cash, checks, debit and credit cards, Venmo, Zelle, Cash App and online invoice payments, and your receipt goes to the phone number or email you gave us.
Do you offer any discounts?
Yes — 10% off for veterans and senior citizens. Curbside pickups, where everything is already gathered and ready to load, may also qualify for lower pricing.
