The labor costs for removing junk from a home or business will largely depend on what’s being moved-the more people and the more time needed to complete the job, the higher the cost will be. The combination of additional manpower and the need for a suitable vehicle can bump up the cost of hauling large and heavy junk. The weight and number of people required for the transportation can also vary by type wrestling an old concrete-lined water heater out of a basement with no outdoor hatch or egress is not a one-person task, and a large and heavy appliance can’t be taken away in the back of a sedan. Mattresses and furniture are non-compostable and must be disassembled before they can be partially recycled, so the disposal fee is higher-sometimes as high as $600. On the other hand, disposing of a mattress or furniture may cost more. For example, yard waste can be hauled away and disposed of at the local dump or transfer station, requiring only a permit or residential sticker, which is a small fee.
The type of junk will affect the cost because of the different methods of disposal required for different materials.

A larger pile taking up a full truckload, or 3.5 cubic yards, can cost as much as $400 to $600 to remove. For example, debris amounting to a quarter of a truckload, or about 1 cubic yard, will cost an average of $150 to $275 to remove. The more junk there is to be removed, the higher the costs will be, although professional haulers may have a minimum charge that must be met. If the municipality requires permits for dumping, those costs may also be related to volume. Or they may charge by volume: Some services will measure the volume by weight or cubic feet, while others use a simpler method of charging by the truckload. Professionals may charge by the piece for larger bulk removal, like a flat charge for the removal of a mattress or an old water heater. The factor that most directly affects the cost of junk removal is the amount of junk.
