Junk Removal in Monroe, MI & Toledo, OH

Almost all junk removal is priced by how much space your stuff takes up in the truck, not by weight and not by the hour. In this market a single item runs about $95–$175, a quarter truckload $180–$275, a half load $300–$425, and a full 15-yard truckload $500–$650. Whole-house and estate cleanouts are quoted as a project, usually $800–$3,500. Full breakdown in our 2026 junk removal cost guide.

Ours is $95, and most companies in this market sit somewhere between $95 and $150. There is a floor because the cost of showing up — the truck, two crew, fuel and the disposal fee at the transfer station — happens whether the load is one chair or a full bed. A single item runs $95–$175 depending on size and how far it has to come out of the house; a few boxes plus a couple of small items is our smallest multi-item load at $140–$195. The practical tip: if you are already paying a minimum, walk the house first. Adding the old mattress and the broken bookshelf to the same trip costs far less than booking them separately in a month.

Free, in this order. Donate anything genuinely usable — several local charities pick up furniture at no charge and give you a receipt. Curbside bulk pickup is free or near-free where your community offers it, if your items qualify and you can wait for the date and move them to the curb yourself. Self-haul to a transfer station costs a per-load fee plus fuel, and needs a truck. Paid haul-away is the option with no conditions attached, and the cheapest way to buy it is to do it once — one trip with everything is dramatically cheaper per item than three separate minimum charges. Full comparison in our cost guide.

Yes — that is the whole reason this company exists. We run Monroe County, Michigan and Lucas County, Ohio as one service area, so a job in Temperance and a job in Toledo sit on the same route. Most haulers pick a side of the line because the transfer stations, disposal rules and tipping fees are different in each state. We are set up for both, so nobody gets told they are outside the zone.

No. The curb is exactly what you were trying to avoid. We take items from wherever they sit — finished basements, second-floor bedrooms, attics, garages, back sheds, barns — and we protect doorways, banisters and floors on the way out. If you can point at it, we can carry it.

The short list is hazardous material: paint and solvents, gasoline, motor oil, propane tanks, asbestos, medical waste, ammunition and chemicals. Everything else is fair game, including the things curbside will not touch — mattresses, box springs, refrigerators, hot tubs, tires and construction debris. Appliances holding refrigerant go to a facility with certified recovery, which is a federal requirement rather than an upsell.

Often, yes. We hold same-day slots for closings, showings and genuine emergencies, and most other calls get scheduled within 24 to 48 hours, seven days a week. Call early in the day for the best chance at a same-day truck.
