Tired of Guessing Junk Removal Costs?
We get it — you’ve probably called a few companies asking what it would take to haul away your unwanted stuff, only to get vague answers or worse, no real info at all. That kind of runaround is frustrating. That’s exactly why we made this page: to give you honest, upfront expectations and pricing before we even show up.
At Quik Dumpsters, we pride ourselves on being clear, professional, and transparent. We're here to give you real numbers and real answers — without the games.
How We Price Junk Removal
Our pricing structure is based on several important factors, just like other reputable junk removal services:
- Space (Volume)
- Material Weight
- Job Complexity
- Unusual or Hazardous Items
Let’s break down what each of these mean so you know exactly what to expect during your removal appointment.
Volume-Based Pricing
Volume is the most common way we determine pricing — in simple terms: how much space does your junk take up in our trailer?
Items we typically quote by volume include:
- Bagged trash or garbage
- Yard debris or tree limbs
- Mixed household clutter
- Small furniture pieces
In the Greater Sacramento area, average volume-based pricing runs between $42 to $70 per cubic yard.
We Stack Tight So You Pay Less
We’re pros at loading efficiently — think of it like packing a minivan for a long family trip. Less wasted space = fewer charges for you.
Weight-Based Pricing
For heavy materials, volume doesn’t apply. Items like the following are priced based on weight due to landfill disposal costs:
- Concrete & bricks
- Dirt or soil
- Scrap metal
Did you know just one cubic yard of soil can weigh over 3,000 pounds?
We Use the Right Equipment for the Job
Job Complexity & Labor
Not all jobs are created equal. Some jobs require easy access and are neatly bagged at the curb. Others involve navigating stairs, long walks, or awkward layouts.
That’s why we ask detailed questions before we arrive — if your project involves extra time, we may include additional labor costs. But one thing’s guaranteed:
No hidden fees. No surprise charges. Ever.
We've heard stories about national chains demanding unexpected tips or changing the price on-site. Not here. You’ll always know what you’re paying before we lift a thing.
Special Conditions
Junk jobs can be unpredictable. Sometimes we encounter issues that require extra care or safety precautions, like:
- Moldy or hazardous material
- Needles or biohazards
- Bed bugs or infestations
If something like this comes up, we’ll stop, talk to you, and adjust pricing with your approval before proceeding. No surprises, no pressure.
