How Much Does Junk Removal Cost in Boise? (2025 Pricing Guide)

The short answer: it depends. But let me give you actual numbers so you know what to expect.

The Basics of Junk Removal Pricing

Most junk removal companies in Boise—including us—price based on volume. How much space does your stuff take up in the truck?

Here's a rough breakdown for 2025:

  • Minimum load (a few small items): $150-$200
  • 1/4 truck load: $250-$350
  • 1/2 truck load: $400-$500
  • 3/4 truck load: $550-$650
  • Full truck load: $700-$850
  • These are estimates. Your actual price depends on what you're getting rid of and where it is.

    What Affects the Price?

    Weight and Difficulty

    A half truck of cardboard boxes costs less than a half truck of concrete chunks. Heavy materials take more labor and disposal fees are higher.

    Same goes for location. Carrying a couch from the living room? Easy. Carrying it down two flights of stairs from a third-floor apartment? That takes more time.

    Special Items

    Some things cost extra:

  • Hot tubs: $400-$600 (they're heavy and require dismantling)
  • Pianos: $200-$400 (weight and awkward shape)
  • Safes: $200-$500 (depending on size and weight)
  • Refrigerators/freezers: $75-$100 extra (refrigerant disposal)
  • TVs and monitors: Often included, but some companies charge extra
  • Yard Waste vs. Household Junk

    Yard debris (branches, leaves, grass clippings) is usually cheaper because it can go to composting facilities instead of the landfill. Construction debris often costs more because disposal fees are higher.

    How We Quote Jobs

    We do free on-site estimates. Here's why that matters:

    Phone quotes are guesses. We can't see your stuff through the phone. When we show up in person, we can give you an exact price before any work starts.

    No obligation. If the price doesn't work for you, no problem. We'll shake hands and leave. No pressure.

    Price is price. The number we quote is the number you pay. We don't add fees after loading.

    Comparison Shopping?

    You should get multiple quotes. Seriously. It's the smart thing to do.

    But compare apples to apples. Ask each company:

  • Is this a binding quote or an estimate?
  • Does the price include labor and disposal?
  • Are there any potential extra charges?
  • Are you licensed and insured?
  • The cheapest quote isn't always the best deal if it doesn't include everything.

    DIY vs. Professional Removal

    Could you rent a truck and haul stuff yourself? Sure. Here's the math:

  • Truck rental: $50-$100
  • Dump fees: $50-$150 (depends on weight)
  • Your time: 4-8 hours
  • Gas: $30-$50
  • Muscle: Priceless (especially the next day)
  • For a small amount of junk, DIY might make sense. For a garage cleanout or estate cleanout? Professional service is usually worth it.
