FAQ
How much does junk removal cost in South Dade?
Pricing is based on volume—how much space your items take in our truck. Small loads start around $100-150, with full truck loads ranging from $500-700. We provide exact quotes before starting.
Do you offer same-day service?
Yes, same-day service is often available. Call in the morning, and we can frequently come that afternoon.
What happens to my items?
We responsibly dispose of items: recyclables go to recycling facilities, usable items may be donated, and remaining items go to appropriate disposal. We don't just dump everything.
Do I need to be home?
We prefer someone present to confirm what goes and approve the completed work. If items are clearly marked and accessible, we can sometimes work without you present.
