Please understand that we are not a charity. Therefore, we are unable to accept or pick up your donatable items for free. No matter what we take, we have to charge you for our service. However, we lower your rate if you have items that could possibly be given away and/or recycled in any way. We do not typically give away items to actual charities. Instead, we give items directly to people in need.
For a Free Telephone Estimate, please call our office at your convenience during the hours noted below. Please be prepared to answer a few questions with regard to the following information:
The zip code and/or town in which the home, office or property is located.
A pretty good idea of the types of things that will need to be removed and how much. For example, if you need furniture and household items and belongings removed, you could tell us that you have 2 dressers, 1 mattress & box spring set, 1 sofabed and 2 armchairs, along with some other furniture pieces and an accumulation of other smaller items, or you can tell us that you simply have one or two items if that's the case.
Based on the information you are able to provide, we can suggest ways to keep the cost down, offer recycling options and estimate the cost to have our people come out with a truck, load everything up for you and cart it away.
Our process is this simple: You call for an estimate. *Below are more details on how our phone estimates are handled. We explain your options and pricing. We will also explain why, and how, we are more efficient and provide more value for the cost than Bagster, franchises, dumpsters and other legal/licensed removal companies.* If you'd like to schedule, we send a large truck* with enough people to do the loading. When they get there, you show the supervisor what needs to go & he/she confirms the cost. You given written permission for our crew to begin loading. NO UP FRONT FEES OR DEPOSITS ARE TAKEN. Our people load up everything you need removed. You supervise. We charge only for how much we put in the trucks, not by the size of the truck. When complete and you are satisfied, you pay the Supervisor (Cash, Check, Visa, MC). We cart it away to the appropriate facilities.
* We have a fleet of twelve vehicles. The capacity of each vehicle varies. The smallest of our trucks can hold up to the equivalent of five long bed (8' bed) pickup truck amounts/loads. What this means is that if you were to visualize the amount of stuff that could fit into the bed of a long bed (8' x 5' x 2.5') pickup truck and multiply that by 5, that is how much stuff our smallest truck can hold. Our largest truck can hold ten times that of a pick up truck. Keep in mind that the size of the truck that we send is not what determines your final cost. It is the amount of stuff that we put in the truck (or how much space that stuff takes up) that determines the final cost.
We always send enough trucks, or one truck large enough, to accommodate more than you might have originally estimated. Again, we only charge you for how much we actually load up and cart away, NOT by the size of the truck.
We realize that some companies post diagrams of their trucks on their website so that you may try to gauge pricing yourself without having to call. In order for you to compare 'apples to apples', a quick explanation on how to calculate volume (which is what determines your cost), is often helpful:
If we have a truck that measures 10' x 8' x 5' and we give you prices based on different 'fill' levels, that means that you are paying by volume (how much space all of your stuff takes up). If you multiply 10' x 8' x 5' = 400 square feet of space. In the Junk Removal Industry, you actually pay by cubic yards (one cubic yard measures 3' x 3' x 3'). Therefore, in order to calculate the cubic yards of 400 sf, you must divide 400 by 27, which equals 14.82 cu. yds. We then round up to 15 cu. yds., which is the capacity of that 10' x 8' x 5' vehicle.
The following schedule explains the average rates for typical household contents, not including hazardous materials:
1/8 of a truck = 1.88 yds.(15 cu. yds. divided by 8) Our Price: $169 ($90/yd.)
1/6 of a truck = 2.5 yds. (15 divided by 6) Our Price: $220 ($88/yd)
1/4 of a truck = 3.75 yds. (15 divided by 4) Our Price: $251 ($67/yd.)
1/3 of a truck = 5 yds. (15 divided by 3) Our Price: $300 ($60/yd)
3/8 of a truck = 5.63 yds. (15 divided by 8 = 1.88 x 3) Our Price: $338 ( $60/yd)
1/2 of a truck = 7.5 yds. (15 divided by 2) Our Price: $382 ($51/yd)
5/8 of a truck = 9.4 yds. (15 divided by 8 = 1.88 x 5) Our Price: $423 ($45/yd)
2/3 of a truck = 10 yds. (15 divided by 3 = 5 x 2) Our Price: $450 ($45/yd)
3/4 of a truck = 11.25 yds. (15 divided by 4 = 3.75 x 3) Our Price: $506 ($45/yd)
5/6 of a truck = 12.5 yds. (15 divided by 6 = 2.5 x 5) Our Price: $563 ($45/yd.)
7/8 of a truck = 13.16 yds. (15 divided by 8 = 1.88 x 7) Our Price: $592 ($45/yd)
Full Truck = 15 yds. (10' x 8' x 5' divided by 27) Our Price: $630 ($42/yd)
Another way that we try to explain how you can gauge the amount of stuff you have is to use a full sized pickup truck as a 'visual measuring tool'. The bed of a full sized pickup truck measures 8' x 5', and if you visualize loading that size bed with stuff piled up to 2' high, that would be an example of 3 cubic yards.
Based on that, the equivalent of: One Load would cost $225 Two Loads would cost $330 ($165 ea.) Three Loads would cost $405 ($135 ea.) Four Loads would cost $540 ($135 ea.) Five or More Loads would cost $126 for each.
Again, Please keep in mind that these rates may be adjusted based on the following: How much of your stuff can possibly be, recycled, reused or given away. How labor intensive the job is. The size of the job. The cost of recycling and disposal in your area (fees vary from county to county).
For these reasons, our pricing is always in accordance with the actual job and we are able to offer better rates than other companies on larger jobs in any area, smaller jobs that scheduled on the same day as other jobs in the same area, jobs with items that can be reused or recycled and jobs that are simply 'easier' than others.
Also, since our trucks are among the largest available for this type of service (most of our trucks hold 30 or more cubic yards), we are able to offer better pricing since we can haul more volume per truck load, thereby reducing the amount of time and labor it would otherwise take to transport the same amount of stuff in the smaller, franchise-type vehicles. This is applicable for both large and small jobs because we don't transport items to each facility until each truck is full.
*The State of NJ requires all removal companies to be licensed by the Dept. of Environmental Protection. If you would like to confirm that a company is licensed by the NJDEP, simply ask the company for their NJDEP A-901 number, which must also be displayed on their vehicles. The DEP# MUST be an A-901 # and NOT a Self Generated #. Should you wish to confirm if a company holds an A-901 license, ask the company's representative what their Registered NJDEP company name is and what town they are located in. Copy and paste the following link into the top address bar in another tab/window of your browser (so you can switch back to this tab to continue following the instructions).
That link should bring you to the Licensing And Registration Unit Scroll to the bottom of the page where you'll see "Unit Resources" In the dropdown box, select "Registered Transporter Search" That will bring you to the Transporters - Custom List In the first box on the right side from drop down box: Select "Solid Waste" In the second box on the right: Select "N" In the third box on the right: Select "N" Select OK All A-901 Registered Solid Waste Haulers will be listed in alphabetical order. If the company you are researching is on the list, then they are legally permitted by the NJDEP to haul your items away.

For a free telephone estimate, please call us at your convenience. We will ask for your first name, zip code and how you found out about us. That information will be used to locate your file if you call back at another time to either give or request additional information, or if wish to schedule. We will ask you to tell us the types of things that need to be removed, along with where on the property those items are located, i.e, attic, basement, 1st floor, back yard, etc. For smaller amounts or a complete list of specific items, we will be able to quote a price for you over the phone. For larger amounts, we can give you an estimate over the phone and give you a good idea of what the cost could be. We will also offer some options to help keep your cost down, i.e. township or county recycling facilities available to you for hazardous items, consolidating items in a convenient location for loading our vehicles, etc.
Should you wish to schedule the removal, there is not obligation on your part to have us do the work when our loaders get there. On the scheduled day, when the crew arrives, the supervisor will ask you to show him everything that you would like removed. At that time, he will confirm the cost with you and if the price is agreeable to you, our crew will load everything at that time. Due to the high cost (labor, trucking, fuel, time, etc.) of "making a trip" to provide an estimate, the majority of the estimating is done over the phone. This also enables us to keep the cost down for both you and us. Since you have the option of scheduling, but are NOT obligated to hire us if the cost is not within the estimate given over the phone, it is our job to do the best we can to provide an accurate estimate and explanation over the phone in an effort to avoid the expensive of a "wasted trip". Please keep in mind that our estimate can only be as good as the information you provide to us, so please be patient with our questions, and please try to answer them as accurately as possible.
