If you have ever searched for junk removal prices and found nothing but "call for a quote," you are not alone. A lot of haulers keep their pricing vague. We would rather be straightforward, so this guide explains exactly how Evergreen Junk Solutions prices jobs in Boise, Nampa and the rest of the Treasure Valley, what affects the final number, and how to get an accurate quote quickly.
Our Starting Prices
These are our real, published starting prices:
- Single item: starting at $79. One couch, one recliner, one mattress, one appliance or a similar item.
- Full trailer: $500. A full load in our open-top dump trailer, which is ideal for garage, basement and whole-home cleanouts.
- Hot tub removal: starting at $350. Includes the crew draining the tub, cutting it up if needed and hauling it away. You disconnect power and water at the main source before we arrive.
- Everything in between: quoted by volume. Most jobs fall somewhere between one item and a full trailer, and we price those by how much space the load takes up.
Light demolition, estate cleanouts, property cleanups, landscaping and commercial jobs are quoted individually with a free estimate, because no two of those jobs are the same.
Why Junk Removal Is Priced by Volume
The biggest costs in a junk removal job are labor, time on site, trailer space and disposal. Volume is the fairest way to account for all of those at once. A recliner and a sectional are both "one couch," but one takes up far more of the trailer and takes more effort to carry out. Pricing by volume means you pay for what you actually send away, not a flat fee that overcharges small jobs or undercharges big ones.
When we look at a load, we are estimating how much of the trailer it will fill. A few boxes and a chair is a small load. A packed one-car garage might be most of a trailer. A whole house of furniture and storage could be a full trailer or more.
What Changes the Price
Several things can move a quote up or down:
- Volume. By far the biggest factor. More stuff, more trailer space.
- Weight. Heavy materials like concrete, dirt, roofing or tile fill a trailer's weight limit before they fill its space, so they are quoted separately.
- Access. A couch in the driveway is quicker than a couch in a basement with a tight staircase. Long carries, stairs and narrow paths add time.
- Disassembly or demolition. Taking apart a playset, cutting up a hot tub or tearing down a shed takes extra labor.
- Special items. Some items cost more to dispose of properly. Appliances that contain Freon or other refrigerants (refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, dehumidifiers) may require an additional charge for proper refrigerant disposal. We will tell you up front if anything in your load falls in that category.
Things that do not change the price: the city you are in (we include travel in the quote) and the day of the week. We are open 7 days a week, 8am to 5pm.
Examples of How Jobs Usually Price Out
Here is how common Treasure Valley jobs fit into our pricing. These are general examples, not quotes, because every load is different.
- One old mattress from an upstairs bedroom in Meridian: single item, starting at $79.
- A washer and dryer from a Nampa laundry room: a small load, quoted by volume.
- A one-car garage with boxes, a few pieces of furniture and old bikes in Boise: a medium-to-large load, quoted by volume after we see photos.
- A whole-house estate cleanout in Caldwell: often a full trailer at $500, sometimes more than one, with a free estimate first.
- An old hot tub on a back patio in Eagle: starting at $350, depending on size and access.
How to Get an Accurate Quote Fast
The fastest way is to text a photo to (208) 297-3326. Try to include:
- A wide shot that shows the whole pile or room
- A few close-ups of large or heavy items
- Where the items are (garage, basement, upstairs, backyard) and how far they are from the driveway
From photos, we can usually give you a price range right away. When our crew arrives, we confirm the final price before we lift anything. If the load is smaller than expected, the price goes down. If you add items, we tell you the new price before loading them. You can also request a quote online through our contact page.
Is It Cheaper to Rent a Dumpster?
Sometimes, for long remodels where debris builds up over weeks. But for most household jobs, full-service junk removal comes out ahead once you factor in your time. With a dumpster, you do all the lifting and loading, it sits in your driveway for days, and you may need to keep it off the street or get permission from your HOA. With our service, a crew sized to the job does all the lifting, loads everything in one visit and sweeps up before leaving.
What Is Included
Every job includes:
- A crew sized to your job
- All lifting, carrying and loading
- Hauling and disposal fees
- Donating or recycling usable items whenever possible
- A sweep of the area when we are done
There are no hidden charges added after the job. Very heavy items, stairs or hard-to-access areas may add to the quote, but we always confirm your price upfront, before any work begins.
What We Cannot Take
For safety and legal reasons, we do not haul hazardous materials such as paint, chemicals, solvents, fuel, pesticides, asbestos or medical waste. Ada and Canyon County both run household hazardous waste programs for those items, and we are happy to point you in the right direction.
