Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the minimum charge for junk removal?
Most junk removal companies have a minimum charge to cover transportation and labor, even for small jobs. This minimum fee is typically around $100, but it can vary depending on the company and your location. It’s always a good idea to ask about the minimum charge when you request a quote, so you know exactly what to expect.
Here at Always Recovering Junk, we always give you a fair, upfront price before we start. Our minimum for coming out to remove unwanted items is $100. Beyond that, if you’ve only got a small load, you’ll only pay for the space you use—no inflated minimums or unexpected add-ons.
What is the cheapest way to get rid of junk?
If you’ve got just a couple of items, you have a few free or cheap options. You can donate or recycle your items, set them out during your city or waste management company's designated bulk pickup day, or take them to the dump yourself if you have the time and means.
But if you want it gone fast and hassle-free, hiring a junk removal company like us saves you time, effort, and the headache of figuring out where everything goes.
How much does junk removal cost?
Junk removal costs can vary quite a bit depending on the company and your specific needs. Many companies base their prices on the amount of space your junk takes up in the truck, but some may also add extra fees for things like labor, heavy items, distance traveled, or disposal of certain items and materials.
It’s also not uncommon for companies to tack on extra charges for things like stairs and weight. That’s why it’s always a good idea to ask for a clear, upfront quote. You want to make sure you understand the whole process and what’s included before you book, so you don't get hit with hidden fees after the fact.
Check out our blog for more information on how much junk removal costs.
Is it cheaper to rent a dumpster or hire a junk removal company?
Dumpster rentals can be cheaper if you’re doing a big DIY project and don’t mind loading everything yourself. But with us, you don’t have to lift a finger—we do all the heavy lifting, hauling, and clean-up, and you only pay for what we take.
For most folks, hiring a junk removal service is the quickest and easiest way to get your space back without the hassle.
Do I need to be home for junk removal?
Nope! As long as we can access the items you want gone, you don’t have to be there. Just let us know how to get to the junk, and we’ll handle the rest.
What happens to my junk after you haul it away?
With us, you can rest assured that your junk will be handled responsibly. We recycle and donate as much as possible—only what can’t be reused or recycled ends up at the landfill.
How soon can you come out?
We offer flexible scheduling, often with same-day or next-day service. Let us know what works best for you.
What if I have a really big or messy job?
No problem—we handle everything from single items to full estate cleanouts and complex hoarding situations. Just tell us what you’ve got, and we’ll take care of it.
What types of payment do you accept?
We take cash, credit cards, and most digital payment methods. Whatever’s easiest for you.
Can you remove items from inside my house or just curbside?
We do both. Whether it’s in your basement, attic, or out by the curb, we’ll get it gone for no extra cost to you.
