What does junk removal cost in San Diego

What does junk removal cost in San Diego? At Fred’s, a single mattress, couch, appliance, or small pile under 200 lbs is $69 when it sits at a drive-up location. Two bulky pieces are $119. Full-service for one item starts at $130 because we carry it from inside. Mixed garage and moving piles are priced by how much of the dump bed they fill — posted truck tiers, not a mystery hourly total.

National franchises advertise a low “from” price, then add fuel, stairs, heavy items, and a dump surcharge. The guy with a pickup quotes cash on the street and still has to pay the landfill. Hourly companies look cheaper until the load takes all afternoon. Fred’s junk removal cost is labor plus dump plus recycling, named before we start. Curbside vs. full-service is the only fork: you stage it and keep the low rate, or we carry it and you pay the listed full-service number. That is the whole conversation — not a binder of add-ons.
