What your garage estimate includes

From a few old boxes to a packed garage, the price depends on how much truck space your junk occupies, the weight of the load and the work required to remove it.

JunkPDX provides free, no-obligation onsite estimates. Photos can help us give a rough range, but you approve the final price before loading begins.

Standard JunkPDX truckload pricing

These are standard 14-foot truckload prices—not guaranteed prices for a particular garage.

How much space everything takes

A chair and several boxes take less space than a garage packed with shelving, old furniture and equipment. Show us the entire pile in your photos so we can better understand the scope.

Weight and materials

Dense material like concrete, tile and lumber can reach truck weight limits before the available space is full. Construction debris may carry extra fees.

Access and lifting

Long carries, stairs, narrow doors, unusually heavy pieces and disassembly can affect the final estimate. Tell us where the crew can park and whether anything is stored overhead.

Special disposal

Tires, refrigerant-containing appliances and other special items may require additional charges. Chemicals, fuels and hazardous materials may not be accepted; disclose them before booking.

Is renting a dumpster cheaper?

A dumpster may suit a multi-day cleanup if you can load it yourself. Full-service removal may be better when you want a crew to lift, load and haul approved items without making dump runs. Compare rental, disposal, labor and transportation costs—not just the advertised base rate.

  2. Set aside documents, valuables and important tools.
  3. Photograph the full garage and identify heavy or unusual items.

  5. Review and approve the onsite estimate before loading.

Can photos give me an exact quote?

Photos help us provide a rough range. The final price is confirmed onsite before loading.

Do I need to move everything outside?

No. Tell us where the items are and describe the route out. Our crew handles lifting and loading of approved items.

Can you take everything in the garage?

Not necessarily. Certain hazardous or restricted materials cannot be accepted. Tell us about anything unusual in advance.
