Junk Removal in Surfside Beach, South Carolina

The average junk removal cost with one of the best junk removal companies ranges from $100 to $400. The cost of loading a truck to the brim is on the higher end (up to $800), while you can typically rent a dumpster for about $300 to $600 per week.

In the United States, the cost of junk removal can vary widely. Most jobs fall somewhere between $75 and $800, with a national average of around $250 for a typical haul-away service. A small load might cost under $100, whereas an extensive whole-house clean-out could approach the higher end of this range.

Generally, dumpster rental is cheaper for large volumes of debris or long-term projects, while junk removal is more convenient but pricier for smaller jobs because you pay for labor and their truck space, whereas a dumpster offers a set price for a large capacity, making DIY loading more cost-effective for big cleanouts like remodels.

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.
