Junk Removal in Augusta, Georgia

Junk removal minimum charges typically range from $70 to $150, covering the base cost for a company to send a crew and truck for a small load (like a few boxes or a single piece of furniture). This fee ensures they cover labor, fuel, and disposal, even if you only have one item, with costs increasing based on volume (e.g., quarter, half, or full truckload).

The cheapest way to get rid of junk involves free options like donating usable items to charities (Goodwill, Salvation Army), selling them online (Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist), or placing them at the curb for your regular trash/bulky pickup. For bigger loads or broken items, the least expensive DIY method is hauling it yourself in a borrowed truck to a local dump or recycling center, but expect costs for gas and potential tipping fees.

1-800-GOT-JUNK? pricing is based on the volume your junk takes up in their truck, with prices starting around $100-$150 for a minimum load (like a few small items) and going up to $600-$1000+ for a full truckload, with a typical job averaging around $240 ; you get a free, no-obligation quote on-site after they see the items. Pricing includes all labor, loading, cleanup, and disposal fees, with single-item removal costing less than a truckload.

Junk removal services generally won't take hazardous materials like paints, chemicals, oils, batteries, pesticides, propane tanks, and asbestos, as well as medical/biohazard waste (needles, old meds), explosives/ammunition, and sometimes tires or electronics (e-waste), due to safety, environmental regulations, and specialized disposal needs. Items with refrigerants (like old ACs/fridges) also need special handling, while very heavy items (vehicles, large hot tubs) might be too big for standard crews.
