Typically, junk removal companies accept more items than dumpster rental companies, making them a more convenient option for various projects.

Other common items that junk removal companies accept include:
- Appliances
- Batteries
- Bicycles
- Box springs and mattresses
- Car parts
- Dirt
- Furniture
- Hot tubs
- Insulation
- Propane tanks
- Shingles
- TVs

How much does it cost to hire a junk removal company?
Most junk removal companies charge a base rate regardless of how small the removal job is. For example, many will charge around $75-$125 to come out and haul away anything. For large projects, like whole-home cleanouts or hoarding situations, you could end up paying as much as $2,000 or more.
To ensure you pay a fair price, we recommend getting quotes from 2-3 junk removal companies.
