Junk Removal Prices by Load Size (2026)
Like most of the industry, we price by how much of the truck your junk fills. You only pay for the space you use — and we confirm the exact price on-site before we load a single item.
| Load size | What that looks like | Typical Utah price |
|---|---|---|
| Single item | One couch, mattress, or appliance | $75 – $150 |
| 1/4 truck load | A small bedroom’s worth | $150 – $275 |
| 1/2 truck load | A one-car garage cleanout | $250 – $400 |
| 3/4 truck load | A large basement or shed | $400 – $550 |
| Full truck load | Whole-home or estate cleanout | $550 – $850 |
Ranges reflect typical 2026 pricing for the Wasatch Front. Heavy debris (concrete, dirt, shingles) is quoted by weight instead — tell us about your load for a firm number.

4 Things That Determine Your Junk Removal Cost
Volume — how much truck space it fills
The single biggest driver. Junk removal is priced by the fraction of the truck your items occupy, so a couple of bags costs far less than a garage full of clutter.
Weight & material type
Dense debris like concrete, tile, shingles, or dirt is billed by weight because landfills charge haulers by the ton. Heavy loads can cost more than the same volume of furniture.
Labor & access
Items carried down from a third-floor apartment, hoisted out of a basement, or disassembled first (hot tubs, swing sets, sheds) take more crew time and raise the price.
Disposal & recycling fees
Every load ends at a transfer station or landfill with its own fees — in the Salt Lake Valley that’s $36/ton for mixed trash, plus per-item charges for mattresses and freon appliances. Those costs are built into your quote.
What Hauling It Yourself Really Costs in Salt Lake City
Thinking about borrowing a truck? Here’s what Salt Lake Valley dumps actually charge in 2026:
| Facility fee | 2026 rate |
|---|---|
| Salt Lake Valley Landfill — car/pickup load (flat) | $17 |

| Mattress or box spring (each) | $18 |

Rates published by the Salt Lake Valley Landfill (6030 W California Ave, open Mon–Sat 7am–5pm) and Trans-Jordan facilities. Add a truck or trailer rental ($20–$100/day), fuel, dump-line wait time, and the lifting — for anything more than a single pickup load, full-service removal usually wins on total cost.

Utah Junk Removal Cost FAQs
How much does junk removal cost in Utah?
Most Utah junk removal jobs run $150–$350. Single items start around $75, a half truck load costs $250–$400, and a full truck load (a whole-home cleanout) runs $550–$850. We confirm an exact, all-inclusive price before any work starts.
How much does it cost to dump junk myself in Salt Lake City?
The Salt Lake Valley Landfill charges a $17 flat rate per car or pickup load, or $36 per ton for larger loads, plus $18 per mattress or box spring and $20 per freon appliance. The Trans-Jordan transfer station charges $51 per ton with a $20 minimum. Add truck rental, fuel, and loading time, and a pro crew is often cheaper for anything bigger than one pickup load.
What does the price include?
Everything: labor, loading from anywhere on your property, hauling, dump and recycling fees, and cleanup of the area. The price we quote is the price you pay — no fuel surcharges or hidden fees.
Is it cheaper to rent a dumpster or hire junk removal?
A dumpster rental in Utah typically runs $300–$500 per week and you do all the loading. Full-service junk removal costs a similar amount for most cleanouts, but the crew does the lifting and it’s gone the same day — usually the better value unless a project spans weeks.
