Junk Removal Prices in Denver: What to Expect

Junk removal in Denver is priced by truck volume. A minimum load (a few small items) starts around $150, a quarter truck around $250, a half truck around $400, and a full truck for whole-house cleanouts around $600 and up. Pricing includes all labor, loading, hauling, and disposal. Here's how it works in detail.

How does junk removal pricing work?

We price by how much space your items take in our truck, from a minimum load for a handful of pieces up to a full truck for a whole-house cleanout. That lines up with disposal costs at local facilities and the time our crew spends on site. On our pricing page we publish anchor ranges — for example, a minimum load might start around one hundred fifty dollars, while a full truck often lands around six hundred dollars and up depending on weight, stairs, and specialty items.

When we arrive, we confirm scope before we touch anything. If you add a pile mid-job, we show you how that changes the price. No bait-and-switch — just clear communication.

What's included in Denver junk removal?

Labor is included. We carry items out of basements, down narrow townhouse stairs in LoDo, and through side gates in Berkeley. Loading, hauling, and disposal are bundled. Donation-eligible goods in usable condition can go to Habitat for Humanity or other local partners when that makes sense, which keeps usable material out of the landfill and can reduce what you pay compared to dumping everything as trash.

Same-day service is often available if our route allows — call early, especially before a snow day when everyone decides to clear the garage at once.

Items we haul every week

Furniture, mattresses, appliances, construction debris from small demo jobs, yard waste, e-waste, hot tubs we cut apart on site, refrigerators with proper handling, televisions, office cleanouts, and the random “we do not even know what this is” pile from a rental turn in Aurora. If something is hazardous or regulated, we will tell you the right disposal path instead of guessing.

What moves the price up or down

Stairs, long carries from alley to street, exceptionally heavy materials, and downtown high-rises with elevator coordination all add time. On the flip side, having everything in one place in the garage, disassembling beds ahead of time, and being realistic about what stays versus goes keeps the job efficient. In summer, book around afternoon thunderstorms; our crews work fast, but safety comes first when lightning rolls over the foothills.

Tips for an accurate quote

Send photos if you can — they beat verbal descriptions every time. Mention parking restrictions if you are on Colfax or in a permit-only zone. Tell us about appliances with coolant, pianos, or anything that lived in a crawl space. The more we know about your Denver address and access, the tighter your estimate.

Weekend and end-of-month book fast when leases turn and graduation weekends empty rentals near DU and CSU satellite campuses — if your timeline is tight, call earlier than feels comfortable. Commercial strip-outs in Tech Center office parks sometimes need after-hours loading; we can schedule that when elevators and loading docks are actually available.

If you are deciding between a dumpster and a crew, read our comparison on the blog or ask dispatch — we will steer you toward the option that saves time and money for your specific job.

When you are ready to clear the space, request a pickup online or call The Junk Trunk. We will give you a straight price range, show up on time, and leave the driveway cleaner than we found it.
