1-800-GOT-JUNK prices: sold by the eighth of a truck

1-800-GOT-JUNK sells volume, not items. Their trucks are marked off in eighths, and what you pay depends on how many of those eighths your pile fills. A crew has to see the pile before anyone can call the number.

So the quote happens on site, after two people have already driven to you. Their published process says as much: you get the price when the team arrives and looks at what you have. It also varies by franchise, because each location is independently owned and sets its own rates.

That is not a trick. It is what volume pricing is, and it is the reason you cannot look this up before somebody is standing in your driveway.

Book the two-person crew if the couch is upstairs, or in a basement, or the garage is packed to the ceiling. That is what they are for. Nobody from Dropcurb comes inside your home, so a job that starts in your living room is not our job.

Past about ten items, a volume quote beats per-item math anyway. A dumpster beats both if you will load it yourself.

Book curbside if you have one to four things you can get outside, or already have outside. That is the whole case. You pick the items, you see the total, you leave them out, and a local hauler takes them.

There is no rate card to check, so the honest answer is that it depends on the franchise, the market, and how a crew reads your pile that morning. What we can point at is what people tell us they were quoted before they found us.

One customer wrote on Google: "I was concerned this wasn't a legit company, but they absolutely are… I was quoted $1500 by another company." Another, Tyler Bond, had his couch gone 45 minutes after he booked, against a $250 quote from a mover.

We are at 5.0 on Google across 150+ reviews, and 4.9 on Trustpilot across 125+. We move more than 1,000 items a month.

Book first, then put the items out. People get this backwards and wait until everything is on the curb before they schedule, which usually costs them a day. The price is locked when you book, so putting the couch out later does not change it.

Haulers head out between 8 and 10 in the morning. Almost half of pickups are done by noon, and about three quarters by 2 PM. You get a text with the ETA before yours arrives. That tells you when to bring the item out, and how long it will sit there.

Photos come through once it is gone. Book by 2 PM and it goes today where same-day pickup is running, seven days a week, in all 50 states. Nobody comes inside, and you do not need to be home.
