How Much Does Junk Removal Cost in South Florida? (2026)
Quick answer: Removing a small load of junk in South Florida usually costs $75–$200, plus any disposal fees. Larger loads, heavy items, and stairs cost more. On Biddy Jobs you post photos and a Budget, and neighbors nearby with a truck send Bids.
The cost of junk removal comes down to how much there is, how hard it is to reach, and where it has to go. A few boxes and an old chair from the garage is a quick trip. A full cleanout from a second-floor condo is a much bigger job. Here’s what to expect in Broward and Palm Beach County.
Typical Junk Removal Prices
| Job | Typical price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Small load | $75–$200 a load | A few items or a pickup bed, disposal fees extra |
| Single large item | Bid by the job | Sofa, mattress, or old appliance |
| Garage or storage cleanout | Often priced by the hour plus disposal | See garage organization help |
| Yard debris | Bid by the load | Branches and clippings after a cleanup |

What Raises or Lowers the Price
- Volume. How much fits in the truck is the biggest factor. Photos make Bids more accurate.
- Weight. Heavy items like appliances, concrete, and tile take more effort and can cost more to dump.
- Access. Stairs, elevators, and long walks to the truck add time.
- Disposal fees. Dump charges are usually separate. Ask whether the Bid includes them.
- Donations. Items in good condition can sometimes go to a donation center, which may reduce what goes to the dump.
What Bidders Usually Can’t Haul
Paint, chemicals, fuel, and other hazardous materials generally have to go to a county drop-off site and shouldn’t go in a regular load. Check your county’s rules, and list anything unusual in your Task.
How to Set Your Budget on Biddy
On Biddy Jobs, you post a Task with your Budget, which is your estimate of what you expect to pay. Bidders nearby send the price they would do it for, plus a short note. Ask questions in the app, then accept the Bid that fits. Phone numbers and emails stay out of the post, and payment is held securely until the Task is done.
Sample Task: Haul away old sofa, mattress, and 6 boxes. Budget: $130.
Deerfield Beach, ground-floor townhouse, everything is in the garage. Photos attached. Any weekday this week.
Sample Bid: $145 including dump fees. “I have a pickup and a trailer. This should fit in one trip. I can come Wednesday around 4 and I’ll drop the boxes at the donation center if you’re okay with that.”
