What a junk removal price list is for
Junk removal callers want to know what a pickup costs before they book, and volume pricing is easier to grasp from a list than over the phone. Showing quarter, half and full truck prices with item fees lets them estimate their own load and book with confidence.
What to put on a junk removal price list
- Prices by truck volume, with your truck size.
- Minimum charge.
- Item fees: mattresses, appliances, tires.
- Heavy material and access surcharges.
- What you do not take.
