Answers to Your Junk Removal Questions
Whether you need a single item picked up, a garage cleaned out, or help removing unwanted furniture, here is what you should know before scheduling with Trash Masters.
Pricing & Estimates
How much does junk removal cost?
The cost depends on the amount and type of junk, how much space it takes up, and the work involved in removing it.
Our listed starting prices are:
- Full load: Starting at $450
- Half load: Starting at $250
- One-piece item: Starting at $120
These are starting prices, not guaranteed quotes. Contact us with a description or photos of your items for an estimate.
Are your prices based on how much junk I have?
Yes. The amount of space your items take up in the truck or trailer is one of the factors used to determine your price. The type of material, weight, accessibility, and labor required may also affect the estimate.
Do you offer free estimates?
Contact us to discuss your project and request an estimate. Photos and a description of the items can help us understand the job before scheduling.
Final pricing may depend on seeing the items and confirming the scope of work.
Can I send pictures of the junk I need removed?
Absolutely. Pictures are a helpful way to show us what needs to be removed. Include a few wide shots and close-ups, along with your city and any details about stairs, access, or especially heavy items.
Call us at 323-350-7866 to discuss your project.
Will the price change when you arrive?
If the amount of junk, type of material, access, or work required differs from what was originally described, the estimate may need to be adjusted.
We recommend reviewing the scope and price with us before work begins.
Scheduling & Pickup
How do I schedule a junk removal appointment?
Call us at 323-350-7866 to discuss what you need removed, where the job is located, and when you would like service.
We’ll discuss the project and available scheduling options with you.
Do I need to move everything outside before you arrive?
Not necessarily. Let us know where the items are located when you contact us. We can discuss whether removal from a garage, room, yard, or another accessible area is part of your project.
Additional labor or difficult access may affect the estimate.
Do I need to be home during the pickup?
Let us know if you will not be present. We can discuss access, instructions, and whether the project can be completed while you are away. Any arrangements should be confirmed before the appointment.
How long does a junk removal appointment take?
The time required depends on the size of the job, the amount of material, where the items are located, and how easily they can be accessed.
A single item will generally require less time than a large property cleanout, but the actual duration varies by project.
Can I add more items after scheduling?
Please contact us before your appointment if you want to add items. Additional items may change the amount of space, labor, or disposal requirements needed, so the estimate may need to be updated.
Items We Remove
What types of junk do you remove?
We handle many common household and property cleanout items, including:
- Furniture such as couches, chairs, and tables
- Mattresses and box springs
- Appliances and household items
- Garage and storage clutter
- General household junk
- Construction and renovation debris
- Items from property cleanouts
If you have an unusual, oversized, or especially heavy item, contact us first to confirm whether we can accommodate it.
Do you remove couches, mattresses, and appliances?
We offer removal for many common furniture and appliance items. Tell us what you have, where it is located, and whether there are stairs or access limitations so we can discuss your job.
Do you remove construction debris?
We may be able to remove common construction and renovation debris, depending on the material, quantity, weight, and disposal requirements.
Please describe the debris and send photos when possible so we can determine whether the job is suitable for our service.
Are there items you cannot take?
Some materials require special handling, facilities, permits, or disposal procedures and may not be accepted as part of standard junk removal.
Examples can include hazardous chemicals, certain liquids, fuels, paints, and other regulated materials. Contact us with a description before scheduling if you are unsure about an item.
Do you recycle or donate items?
When practical and when facilities accept the materials, items may be directed toward reuse, donation, or recycling options. This depends on the condition of the items and local acceptance requirements.
Not every item can be donated or recycled.
Cleanouts & Property Services
Do you offer garage cleanouts?
We can discuss garage cleanout projects involving unwanted furniture, boxes, household clutter, and other accepted items. The estimate depends on the volume of material, access, and labor involved.
Do you offer whole-house or property cleanouts?
Contact us to discuss larger cleanouts, including homes, storage areas, and other properties. Let us know the approximate size of the project, the types of items involved, and whether there are stairs or access restrictions.
Larger projects may require additional planning.
Can you remove junk from a rental property?
We can discuss removal projects for rental and other properties. Please confirm that you have authorization for the items to be removed and provide details about the property and the work required.
Do you remove items from inside the home?
Tell us where the items are located when requesting an estimate. We can discuss removal from inside a home, garage, yard, or another area, depending on access and the nature of the project.
