What the price is based on

Melckwm prices junk removal by how much space your items take in the truck. Labor, loading, stairs, hauling and disposal are included in the range you approve before anything moves.

2026 price ranges

A single bulky item, such as a couch or a fridge, runs about $89–$129. An eighth of a truck is about $139–$189. A quarter truck is about $219–$289. A half truck, which covers a small room or a garage corner, is about $349–$449. Three quarters of a truck is about $489–$589. A full truck is about $619–$719.

What can change the number

Same-day pickup adds $49 when you need it. A heavy piece such as a piano, hot tub or safe adds $99. Stairs above the second floor add $39. The crew still confirms a firm price on site, and nothing is loaded until you say yes.

Ways to keep the bill down

Pile items together so the crew can see the whole load. Take apart only what you can do safely. Usable furniture can be donated, which does not lower the truck space by itself, but it keeps good pieces out of a landfill. Mention code WEB30 when you book a half-truck job or larger online for $30 off.
