The short answer
Haulo prices household junk by how much of the trailer it fills, with labor added for stairs, long carries and dismantling, and heavy material (concrete, rock, dirt, tile) priced by weight instead. In 2026 that works out to a minimum of $99 for a single item or two, about $199 for a quarter load, about $329 for a half load, about $469 for three quarters and about $599 for a full load. These are typical figures, not quotes: every job is priced from its own photos and confirmed before anything is lifted.
Typical ranges by job type
The ranges most jobs of each type land in, as published on the pricing page:
- Couch removal: $125–$175
- Appliance removal: $125–$225
- Furniture removal, a bedroom’s worth: $175–$300
- Yard debris: $225–$375
- Garage cleanout, full single garage: $275–$450
- Construction debris, a remodel’s worth: $275–$500
- Storage unit cleanout: $350–$650
- Apartment cleanout: $350–$650
- Hot tub removal, cut and hauled: $350–$500
- Full truck load, mixed: $575–$725
Load size, material type, stairs, long carries, access and specialty handling move a job within or beyond these ranges.
What moves the price
- Volume. How much trailer space the load takes. Bulky, light items (mattresses, patio sets) cost more per pound than dense boxes.
- Weight. Concrete, rock, dirt, tile and block are priced by weight because the landfill charges us by weight.
- Labor and access. Stairs, elevators, gates, a long carry from the back of a lot to where the trailer can park.
- Dismantling. Hot tubs, sheds, playsets and built-ins that have to come apart to leave.
- Timing. Same-day for requests before 7 p.m. is normal for Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler and Tempe and does not carry a surcharge; by-arrangement areas farther out are priced with the trip in mind.
Two worked examples
A full single garage in Gilbert. Shelving, a dresser, boxes and mixed storage, carried from the garage to the trailer at the curb, floor swept. That is roughly a half load with easy access, and it lands in the $275–$450 garage range. The before and after photos are on the Gilbert garage cleanout page.
A packed storage unit in Tempe. Moving boxes to the walls, a hand truck, a cooler and household goods, emptied to bare concrete so the rent could stop. Tight aisle, short carry, one visit: the $350–$650 storage range. Photos on the storage unit cleanout page.
Neither figure above is an invoice; they are the published ranges those jobs fall in. The number for your job comes from your photos.
How to get an exact price
- One wide photo of each pile or room.
- One photo of the way out: stairs, gate, or where a trailer can park.
- Your ZIP and when you would like it gone.
Text those to (480) 299-4648. A person replies with a price and a window, the crew confirms the price on site before lifting anything, and you pay when the space is clear.
City bulk trash and dumpsters
If your pile is curbside-ready, inside your city’s size limit, free of appliances and construction material, and can wait for the city’s date, the city program is cheaper than any hauler. The rules for all six cities are here. A rented dumpster makes sense for a multi-week remodel where debris comes out a little at a time; you load it yourself and it sits in the driveway until pickup. A hauler makes sense when the load is ready now, when someone has to carry it, and when you want it gone in one visit.
Common questions
Is there a minimum charge?
Yes, from $99, which covers a single item or two such as a mattress, one appliance or a few boxes.
Do you charge extra for same-day?
No. Same-day for requests before 7 p.m. is how we normally work in Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler and Tempe.
Why is concrete priced differently?
The landfill charges by weight for heavy material, so we do too. A small pile of broken slab can weigh more than a full trailer of furniture.
When do I pay?
When the job is done and you have looked over the cleared space. Ask which payment methods are currently accepted when you book.
