What affects the price of junk removal?

Junk removal pricing in Charlotte comes down to two main variables: volume and item type.

Volume is the biggest driver. Our truck is divided into five tiers — single item, quarter, half, three-quarter, and full — and the price is based on how much of the truck your load fills. A single dresser gets the single-item rate. A garage full of furniture and appliances falls into the half- or full-truck range.

Item type matters too. Heavy or awkward pieces — pianos, hot tubs, large sectionals — take more crew effort and tend toward the higher end of a tier. Electronics like TVs carry a small county-mandated e-waste disposal fee ($25 per unit). Tires add $8 each. Stairs above the main floor add $30 per flight.

What never changes the price: freon in refrigerators or AC units, same-day scheduling, and fuel. Those are included with no surcharges.

How do volume tiers work?

Think of the truck as divided into equal sections. A quarter-truck load is roughly a couple of large items — say, a couch and a dresser. A half-truck handles a small bedroom's worth of furniture. A full truck is a packed estate cleanout or a two-car garage.

Here's the key detail: you pay whichever price is lower — the single-item rate or the volume tier rate. If you have several items that together fill only a quarter truck ($145), we don't add up individual item rates. We quote whichever method costs you less.

Mixed loads — appliances, boxes, yard debris, a few furniture pieces — are priced by volume the same way. No item has to match exactly to get the right tier.

What's included in the price?

Every job — one item or a full-truck cleanout — includes:

  • Two-person crew who come inside and do the lifting
  • In-home removal from any main-floor room, garage, attic, or basement
  • All loading — no dragging things to the curb yourself
  • Disposal fees for general junk, already built into your price
  • Sweep-up of the cleared area when we're done
  • Same-day service when booked before noon (when available), at no extra charge

We can't haul wet paint, oils, fuels, chemicals, asbestos, medical or biohazard waste, or ammunition — safety and Mecklenburg County rules. Everything else a two-person crew can carry is fair game.

Cost guide FAQ

Specific questions about how junk removal pricing works in Charlotte.

Is there a minimum charge for junk removal in Charlotte?

Yes — our minimum is $95. That covers one item along with a two-person crew, loading, disposal, and sweep-up. A few lighter single items (bookshelf, TV) start at $85; most single items start at $95 and go up from there based on size and effort.

Should I pay by item count or by volume?

You pay whichever works out cheaper. If you have one or two items, the single-item rate usually wins. If you have several pieces that together fill a portion of the truck, the volume tier is typically lower — and that's how we'll price it. Send us a photo and we'll quote the number that's better for you.

What costs extra beyond the base rate?

Three things: a $25 e-waste fee on TVs and monitors (county disposal requirement), $8 per tire, and $30 per flight of stairs above the main floor. That's it. No freon surcharge on refrigerators or AC units. No same-day rush fee. No fuel surcharge. What you're quoted is what you pay.

How does 704 Junk's pricing compare to other Charlotte haulers?

Most local and national haulers in Charlotte don't publish prices — they quote on arrival, which makes comparison-shopping difficult. Our entire rate card is public before you call. We can't speak to what others charge, but we can say your final price is always confirmed on-site before any work begins, and ballpark estimates from our rate card are the starting point every time.
