The Junkluggers of Charlotte FAQ's

We charge for our junk removal services based on how much space fills up the truck. Our trucks are the equivalent of a 15-yard dumpster (or items that fill a small bedroom). Our pricing includes the labor, time, and dump fees involved. We always provide a free estimate on-site before beginning a junk removal with no hidden fees. Your price will never be higher than your on-site estimate with the exception of special circumstances as detailed below.

Please read below for special circumstances surrounding particular items. Surcharges apply.

• Heavy construction material: Take note that we can load our trucks with heavy construction/dense material to a maximum depth of one foot. Examples of heavy construction/dense materials include masonry products, gravel, concrete, brick, soil/dirt, tiles, and shingles.
• Labor and moving with no removal services: Many customers request additional help, such as deconstructing furniture, bagging items, and carpet removal. Any substantial extra labor not requested and NOT INCLUDED IN THE INITIAL ESTIMATE will be billed at an hourly rate. If the task is minor, such as asking for help moving a table from one spot to another after the junk removal tasks are complete, our luggers are happy to provide assistance. If not minor and not discussed beforehand, there will be a charge.

*Surcharges for “non-standard items” may apply, so be sure to identify any heavy, bulky, complex items during the free estimate process.

Since junk comes in all shapes and sizes, we cannot give an accurate estimate until we see the items on-site. Pricing is based on the nature and volume of the material. We are able to review a general range of pricing with you over the phone and upon arrival, we can give you a very close estimate as to how much it will cost. You will never pay more than your on-site estimate if you clearly identified all items that need to be hauled away.

Yes, our estimates are always free. Once we arrive at the project site, we will be able to provide you with a final on-site estimate.

That's okay! Although we provide a rough price range over the phone, we will be able to provide a final on-site estimate once we arrive at your home so you know exactly what you'll be paying.
