Junk removal pricing in Downey
You pay for the space your junk takes in the trailer, with no hourly rates and no surprise fees at the curb.
How our pricing works
One rule decides your price: the more room your junk takes in the trailer, the more it costs.
Our pricing menu
Every job is quoted up front, for free, before we start. The quote you get is the price you pay.
| Load size | Roughly equals | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Curbside single item | A mattress or couch, right at the curb | $99 |
| Minimum (in-home) | One bulky item or a few boxes, from inside | $129–$149 |
| ¼ trailer | About 1½ pickup loads | $219 |
| ½ trailer | About 3 pickup loads | $399 |
| ¾ trailer | About 4½ pickup loads | $549 |
| Full trailer | About 6 pickup loads | $699 |
Our trailer is 8 ft × 12 ft with 4 ft sides — 384 cubic feet, or about 14 cubic yards. A full-size pickup bed loaded level with the rails holds roughly 62 cubic feet, so a full trailer is about six of those. If it's easier to picture your pile as truckloads, that's the conversion.
Popular single items: mattress $99 (set $129) · couch $129 (sectional $199) · fridge $129, freon fridges taken at no extra charge · washer or dryer $99 ($159 for the pair). Heavy material like concrete or dirt is priced by the bedload; text a photo and we'll quote it.
What affects your price
- How much trailer space the load fills (the main factor)
- Heavy materials (concrete, dirt, tile) that hit weight limits
- Items with disposal fees, like mattresses and tires
- Stairs, long carries, or tight access that add time
Free estimates always. The fastest way to a number: text us a photo and we'll quote it in minutes.
Four ways to pay less
A few minutes of prep before we arrive can take real money off your quote. These four moves help the most.
- Pile everything in one spot before we arrive. A tight pile loads faster and stacks smaller in the trailer.
- Get single items to the curb if you can. Curbside pickup is our $99 rate, the cheapest way to use us.
- Keep clean concrete separate from dirt and trash. Clean loads cost less to dump, and we pass that on in your quote.
- Call early in the day. Same-day slots cost the same as scheduled ones; they go to whoever books first.
Pricing questions, answered
How can you quote my junk without seeing it?
A photo tells us most of what we need: how big the pile is, what's in it, and how it will stack in the trailer. Text one over and we'll reply with a price in minutes. On arrival we confirm the number before we load a single item, and nothing gets loaded until you approve it.
Is junk removal cheaper than renting a dumpster?
For a single load, hiring us costs about the same or less once you count your own labor. A small dumpster rental around Downey costs a few hundred dollars for the week before permit fees, you load it yourself, and many streets require a city permit to park one. Our full trailer is $699, we do the loading and the sweeping, and the pile is gone the same day. A dumpster makes sense when a renovation produces debris for weeks. We make sense when you want it gone today.
Do you charge extra for stairs or heavy items?
We publish our add-ons because surprise fees are the top complaint in this industry. Stairs past the first flight add $25 per flight. A carry longer than 75 feet adds $25. Fridges and AC units with freon cost nothing extra with us — refrigerant recovery is handled by the certified recycler we haul them to. Each add-on appears in your quote before work starts.
