What Junk Removal Really Costs in Memphis

The honest 2026 numbers, from a company that publishes its prices instead of hiding them behind an appointment.

The short answer

Most residential junk removal jobs in the Memphis area land between $150 and $400. Single items start around $100 to $150 with most companies, half-trailer loads run in the $300s, and full loads run $550 and up. National franchises tend to price at the top of those ranges; local operators like us price under them.

How pricing actually works

Nearly every hauler prices by volume: how much space your stuff takes up on the truck or trailer. Weight matters for dense material like concrete or shingles because disposal facilities charge by the ton. A few item types carry their own facility fees regardless of size, which is why a mattress costs more to dispose of than its weight suggests.

JobTypical Memphis Range
Single item (couch, fridge, mattress set)$100 - $175
Quarter load (bedroom set)$200 - $300
Half load (single-car garage)$300 - $450
Full load (2-3 room cleanout)$550 - $800

What makes the price go up

How to pay less

Stage everything in one accessible spot and ask about curbside pricing, which typically runs 20 to 30 percent below full-service. Check whether your items qualify for Memphis's free bulk pickup first (our bulk pickup guide covers the rules). And get your quote from a photo instead of an in-home estimate; it's faster and it locks the number.
