Junk Removal Calculator

Quote a junk removal job from the volume of items, your rate, disposal fees and extra labor.

How this calculator works

Enter the cubic yards of junk, your rate per cubic yard, any disposal fees and extra labor. The calculator multiplies volume by rate, then adds disposal fees and labor for the total quote. A standard pickup truck load is only a few cubic yards, so measure or estimate carefully before you quote.

Example

8 cubic yards at $40 a yard, plus $65 in disposal fees and $60 for extra labor. The calculator shows: Quote: $445.00.

Tips

  • Charge more for stairs, long carries and heavy items like appliances or concrete.
  • Find out your local dump rates and rules, since some items such as paint, electronics and tires have special fees.
  • Take photos before and after the job and confirm the price with the customer before you load the truck.

Common questions

How do I estimate cubic yards?

Multiply length, width and height of the pile in feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards.

Should disposal fees be passed on?

Many haulers add them to the quote. Check what the local facility charges and include the real cost.
