How Much Does Junk Removal Cost in the Temecula Valley? (2026 Prices)
Short answer: junk removal with Temecula Valley Junk Pick-Up costs $148 to $1,098 per truckload. The price depends on how much of our truck your items fill, not how long the job takes. A half truck is $698 and a full truck is $1,098. Labor, loading, hauling, disposal and sweep-up are included.
Our prices by load size
Our truck holds about 21 cubic yards (14 feet long, 8 feet wide, 5 feet tall). That's bigger than many trailers, so compare cubic yards when you compare "full load" prices between companies.
| Load size | About | What usually fits | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Minimum load | 1.8 cu yd | A few bags, boxes or one small item | $148 |
| 1/8 truck | 2.6 cu yd | A recliner and a few boxes, or a small pile | $278 |
| 1/4 truck | 5.3 cu yd | A mattress, box spring, dresser and nightstand | $448 |
| 1/2 truck | 10.5 cu yd | A one-car garage half full | $698 |
| 3/4 truck | 15.8 cu yd | A one-car garage three-quarters full | $878 |
| Full truck | 21 cu yd | A packed one-car garage, or a two-car garage half full | $1,098 |
There are smaller steps in between, so a load that's a little over 1/4 truck isn't charged as a half. Whole-house and large property cleanouts that need more than one truck get a free on-site estimate.
Do you charge by the item, the hour or the weight?
By volume: how much room your items take in the truck. A single couch costs far less than a full garage, and adding more to one trip costs less per item than booking a second trip. Very heavy material is the exception (see below).
What's included in the price?
- Our crew carries items out from wherever they are: upstairs, the backyard, the garage
- Loading, hauling and disposal fees at the landfill or recycler
- Donating usable items and recycling metal, cardboard and electronics where we can
- Sweeping up the spot where the items were
What can add to the price?
- Stairs: $35 per large item carried down from upstairs.
- Taking things apart: from $45 when a piece has to come apart to get out the door.
- Disposal fees: some items cost more to dispose of, like mattresses, tires and appliances with refrigerant. If you have several appliances or electronics, we charge only the highest one.
- Heavy material: concrete, dirt, rock, tile and roofing are priced on site, because weight matters more than space.
