Frequently Asked Questions

Pricing & Booking 

  • 1. How much does junk removal cost?

    At Shore Thing Cleanout, our junk removal pricing is based on how much space your items take up in our trucks. Unlike companies that charge by the hour, you only pay for the portion of the truck your items fill. This allows us to provide fair, transparent pricing with no hidden fees.

    As a family-owned and operated business, we believe in treating every customer like family. That means providing honest, upfront pricing without gimmicks or surprise charges. We know it isn't always easy to invite someone into your home or business, which is why we're fully licensed and insured and committed to making the entire junk removal process as smooth and stress-free as possible.


    We operate three different truck sizes so we can match the right vehicle to your project and provide the most cost-effective solution. No matter which truck is used, you can count on receiving our fairest pricing, professional service, and efficient removal.


    Our standard pricing includes:

    • Loading and all labor
    • Transportation and hauling
    • Disposal and recycling/donation of general household junk
    • Basic cleanup of the area after removal
    • Fully licensed and insured service

  • 2. How is your pricing determined?

    At Shore Thing Cleanout, we use a prorated truck-fill pricing model, which means you only pay for the amount of space your items take up in our truck. Instead of charging by the hour, we charge based on volume, making our pricing simple, fair, and transparent.


    Our trucks are divided into portions (¼ load, ½ load, ¾ load, full load), and your final price is determined by how much space your items occupy. If your load falls between our standard portions, we’ll adjust accordingly. This "pay only for what we haul" approach ensures you're never paying for unused truck space.


    One of the biggest advantages of our prorated pricing system is its flexibility. We understand that projects often change. If you decide to add more items, your price is simply adjusted based on the additional truck space they require. Likewise, if you remove items from the pile before we arrive, you'll pay less because your junk takes up less space. You only pay for the amount we actually remove.


  • 3. Do you offer free junk removal estimates?

    Yes! We proudly offer free, no-obligation junk removal estimates for all residential and commercial projects.


    There are two convenient ways to receive your estimate:


    Photo or Video Estimate: Simply text or email us photos or a short video of the items you'd like removed. In many cases, we can provide a quick and accurate estimate without needing to visit your property.


    On-Site Estimate: For larger, more complex, or difficult-to-assess projects, we can schedule a free on-site estimate. One of our team members will visit your home or business, review the items you need removed, explain our prorated truck-fill pricing, answer any questions, and provide a detailed estimate before you

    schedule your junk removal service.


    At Shore Thing Cleanout, we believe in honest, transparent, upfront pricing. That's why all estimates are completely free, with no obligation and no hidden fees. Our goal is to make the junk removal process simple, stress-free, and easy to understand so you can make an informed decision with confidence.


    Please note: While all estimates are free, our junk removal services are not. If you choose to move forward, you'll only pay for the amount of truck space your items occupy, plus any applicable specialty item or disposal fees. There is never any obligation to schedule service after receiving your free estimate.

  • 4. What is your minimum charge for junk removal?

    Yes. Our standard minimum charge for prorated junk removal is $150. This minimum applies to smaller jobs that take up only a small portion of our truck and includes all labor, loading, hauling, transportation, and disposal of general household junk.


    However, not every project is the same. We occasionally offer reduced pricing for select single-item pickups, depending on the type of item. Here are some of the items we remove for less than our minimum charge:


    Single Item                    Price

    Arm Chair                       $125

    Twin/Full Mattress        $100

    Queen Mattress            $125

    Washer or Dryer            $100

    Fridge or Freezer           $125


    If you're unsure whether your project meets our minimum charge, simply send us a few photos or a brief description of the items you'd like removed. We'll gladly provide a free, no-obligation estimate and help you

    determine the most affordable option for your junk removal needs.

  • 5. Can I get the exact price before you arrive?

    In many cases, yes! If you send us clear photos or a short video of the items you'd like removed, we can often provide an accurate upfront price before your appointment. This saves you time and allows you to know what to expect before we arrive.


    If we need additional information to provide an accurate estimate, we're happy to schedule a free, no-obligation on-site estimate. One of our team members will visit your home or business, review the items you need removed, explain our prorated truck-fill pricing, and answer any questions you may have.


    Because our pricing is based on the amount of space your items take up in our truck, the final price can change if you add or remove items before or during your appointment. You'll only pay for the amount of truck space your junk actually occupies.


    If you're still deciding what you'd like removed, that's perfectly okay. Our crew can update your price as the truck is being loaded, so you'll always know how adding or removing items affects the total cost. We never begin work without discussing the pricing with you first.


    At Shore Thing Cleanout, we believe in honest, transparent, upfront pricing. There are no hidden fees, and you'll always know your price before the job is completed.

  • 6. Do you offer same-day junk removal?

    Yes! We proudly offer same-day, next-day, and emergency junk removal services whenever our schedule allows. If you need junk removed quickly, we recommend calling us directly, as same-day requests are often time-sensitive and availability can change throughout the day.


    Speaking with our office allows us to quickly gather information about your project, provide an estimate, and dispatch the nearest available crew to your home or business. Our goal is to make the process as fast, simple, and stress-free as possible.


    If same-day service isn't available, we'll work with you to schedule the next available appointment, which is often the following day.


    To request same-day junk removal, simply give us a call. Our team will check availability, answer your questions, provide transparent pricing, and get your junk removed as quickly as possible.

    Absolutely! For large-scale junk removal projects, we can schedule multiple trucks and crews in advance to complete the job as efficiently as possible. Whether you're clearing out a large home, commercial
