Every junk removal company has a base fee that they charge for their services and as the complexity of the project increases, so does the price.

The minimum fee a junk removal company will charge a client for their service is reserved for jobs that require the least amount of resources.

These projects usually involve the removal of 1-2 items, like a mattress or a couple of garbage bags full of old clothing.

Much like the price of services, different junk removal companies will have different definitions of projects that qualify for their minimum fee.

The national average minimum fee that junk removal services charge is $75-$100, but can be more or less depending on the cost of living in your area.

If you only have one item that you need a junk removal company to remove, it doesn't necessarily mean that you will be charged their minimum fee.

Appliance removal costs around $100 on average for a single item and usually adds around $30 per additional appliance in the same trip.

Furniture removal costs slightly more on average due to higher disposal fees at the landfill versus the cheaper fees to recycle appliances.

You can expect to pay around $150 for a junk removal company to haul away your unwanted furniture.
