Honest pricing, no surprises.
Nobody likes calling around just to find out what junk removal costs. Below are some common jobs, each with a typical price range based on what junk removal companies around Delaware, Maryland and the Mid-Atlantic charge right now.
These are examples to help you plan. They aren't quotes. Your price depends on what you have, how much there is, and how heavy it is. Send us a few photos and we'll give you a real number. It's free.
We price every job on four things:
Ways to save: have things in one spot near the driveway, keep yard waste separate from trash, and let us know about heavy materials up front so your quote is accurate.
Example ranges are based on typical market rates and are not quotes. Your final price is given in writing after we see photos or visit.
Ranges reflect typical 2026 market rates in our area. They are not Gone By Five quotes. Every job is priced individually.
Typical range$75 – $175
What's included: Pickup of one large item, like a couch, recliner, mattress set, dresser or treadmill. Includes loading and disposal or donation drop-off.
Good to know: Items already outside or in a garage land at the low end. Upstairs or awkward items push it higher.
Typical range$75 – $200
What's included: Removal of one major appliance, like a washer, dryer, stove, dishwasher, refrigerator or freezer, with proper disposal or recycling.
Good to know: Fridges, freezers, AC units and dehumidifiers contain refrigerant that has to be handled properly, so they usually cost more.
Typical range$125 – $250
What's included: A few items or a small pile, such as bags, boxes, a chair or two, or leftover moving junk. Roughly a pickup-bed's worth, about 1/8 to 1/4 of a trailer.
Good to know: Great for "a few things the trash company won't take."
Typical range$300 – $450
What's included: A room's worth of furniture and household junk, such as a couch, a recliner, a dresser and some boxes. Includes loading, hauling and disposal.
Good to know: Light, bulky items stay near the low end. Heavy items move it toward the top.
Typical range$550 – $800
What's included: A full load of mixed household junk, furniture and boxes, which is common for basement, attic and move-out cleanouts.
Good to know: This range is for normal household junk. Heavy debris like concrete, dirt, shingles or plaster is priced by weight (see Add-ons).
Typical range$250 – $800
What's included: We clear out unwanted items from a garage, shed or storage unit, and haul them away so you get your space back.
Good to know: A one-car garage with a partial load usually falls at the low end. A packed two- or three-car garage falls at the high end or above. Propane tanks, paint and chemicals need special handling, so tell us ahead of time.
Typical range$300 – $1,200 (apartment to small house)
What's included: Removal of everything left behind by a tenant or after a move, including furniture, bags, boxes and leftover belongings, so the unit is ready to clean and turn over.
Good to know: A studio or one-bedroom usually lands at the lower end. Larger homes, or units that are packed full, can cost more. Landlords and property managers with regular turnovers: tell us about your properties when you reach out.
Typical range$400 – $1,200 (small shed, no concrete slab)
What's included: We take apart an old wood or metal shed and haul away all the debris. If the shed's contents need to go too, that's quoted separately.
Good to know: Larger sheds, sheds on a concrete slab, and small deck or porch tear-outs are quoted after we see them. For decks and porches, typical market prices range from about $700 to $2,250 depending on size.
Typical range$150 – $350 per load
What's included: Loading and hauling of branches, brush, storm cleanup, old fencing or landscaping leftovers.
Good to know: Keep yard waste separate from household trash. Delaware dumps charge a lot more for loads that are mixed.
Sometimes these get added to a job, and sometimes they're priced on their own. Prices shown are typical market ranges.
| Item | Typical range | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Mattress or box spring | $70 – $150 each (on its own) | Bulky, and many facilities handle them separately |
| Tires | about $5 – $10 per tire, more with rims | Tires carry a separate disposal fee in Delaware |
| Refrigerant appliances (fridge, freezer, AC, dehumidifier) | about $35 – $60 extra per unit | Refrigerant has to be removed and handled properly |
| Older TVs & computer monitors | about $25 extra each | Electronics recycling fees |
| Hot tub removal | $300 – $600 | Has to be cut apart, and it's heavy |
| Heavy materials (concrete, brick, dirt, shingles, tile, plaster) | Priced by weight. About $100 – $250 per small heavy load; concrete slab removal about $3 – $8 per sq ft | Disposal is charged by the ton, and a little goes a long way |
| Stairs, long carries, disassembly | Moves your price toward the top of the range | More labor and time |
What we can't take in a regular load: paint, solvents, fuel, oil, pesticides, pool chemicals, propane tanks, medical waste and anything that might contain asbestos. Ask us, and we'll tell you how to dispose of it safely or whether we can make special arrangements.
