How Junk Hauling Pricing Works

• Single-item pickup ($99-$199): one large item — sofa, mattress, fridge.
• Quarter truck load ($189-$289): fills 1/4 of a typical hauler truck (~3 cubic yards).
• Half truck load ($289-$449): ~6 cubic yards. Single-room cleanout.
• Three-quarter load ($389-$549): ~9 cubic yards. Garage or large room.
• Full truck load ($499-$699): ~12 cubic yards. Full-floor or larger cleanout.

Disposal fees for special items: mattresses ($35 each, California recycling fee), tires ($15-$25 each), refrigerant appliances ($45-$75 each), TVs and e-waste ($35-$75 each), paint/chemicals ($25-$50 each).

What We Don't Take in San Jose

California regulations strictly control hazardous waste disposal. Items we cannot legally remove without specialized handling:

• Asbestos materials — requires licensed abatement contractor
• Hazardous chemicals — solvents, pesticides, motor oil — county HHW facility only
• Medical waste — sharps, prescription drugs
• Live ammunition or explosives — police non-emergency line
• Large amounts of dirt or concrete — needs dump truck not standard hauler truck

For everything else (furniture, appliances, e-waste, construction debris, yard waste), we handle it including the proper recycling routing.
