Honest Pricing. Our Word.

The Price We Quote
Is The Price You Pay.

We give you a firm price in person before we touch a single item. That number doesn't change — period. No hidden fees, no last-minute add-ons, no bait-and-switch. Just straightforward, honest pricing from people who actually care.

Our Price Promise

Once we assess the job in person and give you a price, that number does not change. We won't come back at the end and surprise you with extras. The only time a price would ever adjust is if you add items that weren't part of the original scope, or if there's a significant detail about the job that wasn't mentioned upfront (like multiple flights of stairs or hazardous materials). That's it. No games, no pressure, no fine print. Just integrity.

Items priced separately: Certain items require special handling — mattresses, box springs, pianos, paint cans, chemicals, TVs, tires, insulation, and concrete. We'll always disclose this upfront, before any work begins.

Why Prices Vary

What Affects Your Final Quote

We're always honest about what goes into your price. Here's exactly what we look at when we assess your job — so there are no surprises on either side:

Distance

How far the job is from our base in Salem affects our travel cost. Most North Shore jobs fall within our standard pricing.

Farther from Salem may affect cost. Most North Shore jobs are standard.

Ease of Access

Can we walk straight to the junk, or does it involve tight hallways, narrow doors, or awkward spaces? More effort means more labor time.

Tight hallways or awkward layouts add labor time.

Parking

How close can we park our truck to your junk? The farther we have to carry things, the longer the job takes.

Farther carry distance means a longer job.

Stairs

Basement haul-outs, attic cleanouts, or multi-story removals take significantly more time and effort — this is always factored in.

Basement, attic & multi-floor jobs take more effort.

Tight Corners

Navigating narrow staircases, hallways, or doorways with bulky items adds time. We plan for this so there are no surprises.

Narrow spaces with bulky items add time.

Item Type

Certain items (mattresses, TVs, tires, paint, chemicals, concrete) have special disposal requirements and are priced separately.

Mattresses, TVs, tires & chemicals are priced separately.

Common Questions

Pricing FAQ

Everything we get asked about pricing — answered straight, no fine print.

How is the price determined?

Pricing is based on the volume of junk we haul away — measured by how much space your items take up in our truck. Heavier items like concrete or pianos may carry a small surcharge. We always give you a free, upfront quote on-site before any work begins.

Are there any hidden fees?

Never. The number we quote you is the number you pay. Labor, dump fees, fuel, donation drop-offs, and recycling are all included. No surprises after the work is done.

Do I pay before or after the job?

For most jobs, payment is due after the work is finished — once the truck is loaded and you're happy with the cleanup. The only exception is large cleanouts (like full estates or hoarder homes), where we collect a small deposit after you've accepted the quote to lock in the schedule.

What payment methods do you accept?

All major credit and debit cards, cash, check, Venmo, Zelle, CashApp, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. Whatever's easiest for you.

Can I get a quote over the phone?

Yes — call or text us at 978-915-3399 and send a few photos of your items. We can usually give you a solid estimate within a few minutes. Final pricing is always confirmed on-site before we start.

Is there a minimum charge?

Yes — our smallest job (one or two single items) starts around $120. For most pickups you'll fall into one of our load-size tiers above.

What if I have more (or less) than I expected?

No problem. Once we arrive and see everything, we'll re-quote on the spot — up or down — based on the actual volume. You're never locked into the phone estimate.
