ESTIMATES AND PRICING

Single item estimates
We have single item pricing if you have one item such as a couch or refrigerator.
Multi-Item Estimates
If you have several single large items such as furniture, appliances, TV sets and exercise equipment you can get an online estimate on our multi-item estimates page
Truck load estimates
If you have a small to large load of miscellaneous items that are to many to list for single item removals you can get an estimate for one of our 6 sized truck load options.
In person estimates
We only do in person estimates when our schedule permits or if we are going to be in your area for a pick up we might be able to come by. This may take several days so the best way to get an estimate is text us the details and / or pictures or use our truck load estimates page.
What if customer over / under estimates
We only charge for what we remove. If your job is smaller we will adjust the price down accordingly. The same goes for if the job is larger.

Please try to be accurate when estimating the size of the job. We usually can take a little more than anticipated but if you schedule a very small pick up and when we arrive it’s a full truck load there might be a delay in getting your pick up completed.

If you think there may be an increase or decrease in the size of the job you have scheduled please test us first before canceling and rescheduling. We may be able to accommodate your change without changing your appointment.

What is a cubic yard?
A cubic yard is 3 feet X 3 feet X 3 feet, or about the size of a washing machine. You can use our cubic yards calculator to help you estimate the size of your pick up.
How big is the truck?
Our truck is a 2013 Isuzu NPR. It has a bed that measures 14′ long, 8 feet wide and we stack items up to 3.75 feet high. A full truck load capacity is 15 cubic yards.
Extra heavy items
Please text us if you have single items weighing over 250 lbs for a price quote

CURBSIDE OR FULL SERVICE

What is curbside removal
Curbside removal is when you place your items in a drive up location such as the driveway, residential garage or alley… or at the curb. We offer big discounts for curbside junk removal.

We want you to save money with our curbside removal so if you have the items in your garage or driveway we need 10 feet wide and 8 foot overhead clearance.

What is full service removal
Full service is when we will come into your home, back or side yard to remove the items.
What if job requires both full and curbside service
We can charge curbside for some items and full service for the others. Please book for full service and we will pro-rate the full service fee.
Items that are CURBSIDE ONLY
Refrigerators, large exercise equipment such as treadmills and elliptical machines are curbside only.

If your interior home stairway has a turn some items such as hide-a-beds or recliner couches cannot be brought down without precautions.

If this is your situation please text us for a quote or to see if we can accept this job.

Additional charge for 3rd story removals w/ no elevator
If your items are on the 3rd floor with no elevator we can still take them for you at our full price. There is no discount for items removed from the 3rd or higher floor without an elevator.
Long distance removals
Some apartment buildings in mission valley, UTC and pacific beach are very large and items must be moved long distances to where we can park our truck. If your items are in a location that requires them to be carried or dollied more than 200 feet we can still take them for you at our full price. There is no discount for items removed from locations further that 200 feet from where we can park our truck.

Identify what you need removed
If it’s a single item such as a mattress or couch we have single item pricing HERE

If you have a couple of large single items to be removed we have pricing for that as well and you can get an estimate HERE

If you have a pile of miscellaneous junk, trash, furniture, appliances, garage junk we offer junk removal by the truck load as well and you can get pricing HERE

Online Estimates – We have several online tools for accurately estimating your removal costs. Single items are easy straightforward with flat fees. We also have a multi-item removal estimator tool.

For piles of junk we have some example photos to help you estimate how much junk you have and a pick-up truck estimator. The most accurate truck load estimator tool we have is our cubic yards estimator.

Curbside or Full Service
Curbside Junk Removal – We offer huge discounts when we save time and labor. You place your item(s) in a drive-up location such as the alley, residential garage or driveway. We need to be able to drive up along side of the junk or back up to it so please ensure there is plenty of room for our large truck. Driveways must be at least 10 foot wide and there needs to be 8 foot clearance above. We often have a trailer with us so we need about 35 feet of parking space. If there are parking limitations please let us know when booking, in the special instructions section of the booking form. If we cannot park we cannot work.

Full Service Junk Removal – We will remove the items from indoors, second story or the back / side yard. This service requires you to simply point it out and we will haul it away. If items are located higher than the second story we will still remove them if there is an elevator. if there is no elevator please TEXT us at (619) 245-9957 for a price quote that will include the additional labor.

Some apartment complexes in mission valley, UTC area and pacific beach have parking very far from where we can park our truck. Removals from some of these buildings will require additional labor and the fee will increase. We are currently building a database of these locations.

Just like curbside service we still need a place to park our truck. If there are parking limitations please let us know when booking, in the special instructions section of the booking form. If we cannot park we cannot work.

Our Discounts
Our Discounts – We offer discounts for curbside removal. Sometimes we offer discounts for full service removals as well. These discounts are savings from our regular price. All prices are clearly listed on the truck load information pages. Our discounts are only valid if your appointment is booked online.
Booking Online
Booking Online – When booking online please provide as much information as possible to ensure your removal goes smoothly. List all items for removal and try to choose the best option to accommodate the items you need hauled away. If you schedule a 1/2 truck load and have a full truck load of items we may not be able to take the extra. Please TEXT US to get more help on choosing the appropriate truck load option.

You will receive a confirmation e-mail, please check to make sure we have the correct address and phone number. If you do not receive this e-mail please check your junk or spam folder.

If you need to make changes to your appointment please TEXT US at (619) 245-9957 and we will be happy to advise.

If you need to cancel or re-schedule for a different dat please use the links at the bottom of your confirmation e-mail.

We send another reminder e-mail the day before your appointment that also has a link to re-schedule or cancel.

The Appointment
We have 3 hour arrival windows, unfortunately we cannot provide exact time appointments.

You do not need to be present for your appointment if you choose curbside removal and pre-pay online. You can pre pay right after booking or at any other time on our PAYMENTS PAGE

If you are not present for the pick up we will notify you by text once it’s completed.

We always call ahead 10-30 minutes before arriving, if you do not answer we send a text message. It is important that you answer the call or text so we know you are ready for the pick up. If you do not answer your appointment may be delayed or canceled. We do have a late cancelation fee of $59.

Once on-sight we will review what needs to be removed and confirm the fee.

Late Cancelation / Trip Fee
One late cancelation per week can cost us $3500 or more per year.

We schedule labor and block off time for your pick up in advance. If you do not cancel or re-schedule at least 12 hours in advance it costs us in lost revenue because we cannot fill that blocked off time and by paying for un-needed labor. We ask that you please cancel or re-schedule 12 hours before your appointment. If you have not re-scheduled or canceled your appointment we may insist on a $59 trip fee.
