Junk Removal vs. Dumpster Rental vs. DIY
Not sure which option is right? Here's how they stack up.
| Factor | Junk Removal (Us) | Dumpster Rental | DIY |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who does the work? | We handle everything | You load it | You do everything |
| Time required | 1-3 hours, same day | 3-7 day rental | Days to weeks |
| Heavy items | We carry it all | You lift into dumpster | You lift & transport |
| Walk-up apartments | No problem | Can't reach upper floors | Very difficult |
| NYC permits needed? | No | Yes - DOT street permit | No |
| Disposal included? | Yes - sort, donate, recycle | Pickup only | You haul to dump |
| Starting price | ~$150 | ~$350 | Free (your time) |
Bottom line: If you want it gone fast with zero effort, junk removal is the move. If you have a week-long renovation, a dumpster rental makes more sense. We offer both - call and we'll recommend the right option.
Transparent Pricing
We charge by volume. Here are typical ranges for NYC.
| What You're Removing | Typical Price |
|---|---|
| A few small items (lamp, chair, boxes) | $150 - $250 |

Gather items in one area
The faster we can access everything, the faster the job goes.
Separate what you're keeping
Point it out to the crew before we start - nothing leaves by accident.
Clear a path to the exit
