Flat prices for a city with no zoning and every housing type imaginable — the Houston guides so far, with more on the way.
There are five genuine ways to get something hauled in this metro, and only two of them work for a mattress in a third-floor Gulfton apartment. Here is the…
Every bulky program in this metro has an exclusion list, and the same five categories appear on nearly all of them. Here is what they are, why they are…
$87 for a small window unit, $109 for a large one, $85 for a portable and $115 for an outdoor condenser or heat pump. No refrigerant fee on top — which…
A one-bedroom left with the furniture in it usually comes in around a quarter to three-eighths of a truck — $241 to $338. A full two-bedroom emptied to the…
$68 for a standard metal or platform frame, $126 for a solid or upholstered twin through queen, $152 for a king. The awkward part is not the price — it is…
Our prices do not move by season, by day or by hour. What moves is how easy it is to get the slot you want — and in this city the calendar is set by the…
It depends entirely on who collects your bin, and in this metro that changes every few miles. Some streets do not even have a curb — they have a drainage…
Free is possible for some furniture in this city and impossible for the rest, and humidity is what decides which. Here is the honest ranking, ending at $126…
Three-quarters of a truck is $587 and a full truck is $732. A mid-century ranch house in Oak Forest or Meyerland with sixty years in it is rarely one load,…
Half a truck is $431 and a full truck is $732, and a two-car garage in this city almost always lands between them. The reason is specific to Houston: there…
A full truck is $732 and a heavily loaded single-story house is usually three or four of them. The number is large and we would rather you saw it at the…
$390 for a standard hot tub and $501 for a six-to-eight-person spa, flat, including cutting it up if it will not fit through the gate. In this climate they…
$126 for a sofa, flat, carried from wherever it is. The hard part in this city is rarely the price — it is the thirty-inch front door on a 1920s bungalow,…
A queen is $103 to have carried out and taken away, flat. Everything else — curb, donation, borrowed pickup truck — has a catch, and in this city the catch…
$164 for a standard refrigerator, $183 for a side-by-side or French door, $115 for a mini fridge. There is no refrigerant handling fee on top — and the…
$62, $68 or $73 depending on size, carried out and disposed of. The reason you are reading this is almost certainly that a new television arrived, the old…
A washer is $133, a dryer $128, an electric range $134 and a tank water heater $131. The Houston complication is rarely the price — it is that your water…
Ask four questions and you will filter out almost everything that goes wrong: is the price fixed, is disposal included, are you insured, and where does the…
Yes. Leaving furniture on a vacant lot, a bayou access road or someone else's curb is illegal dumping, and it is one of the few offenses where the evidence…
Every price below is published, flat, and includes the carry-out and the disposal. The $75 visit minimum is the only floor. Nothing on this page changes…
A dumpster is a container you fill yourself over days. Junk removal is a crew that carries it out in an hour. In Houston the deciding factor is usually…

A quarter truck is $241 and a full one is $732, quoted from photographs and fixed before anyone is dispatched. In a market where a unit sitting empty is the…
A queen mattress is $103 to have carried out and taken, flat. Before you pay anyone, it helps to know that Texas has no statewide mattress recycling law —…
There is no published mattress recycling fee in Houston, because Texas has no mattress recycling program to publish one. What there is: a flat $103 for a…
Budget $241 to $587 for the things that are not going with you. In Houston that pile is bigger than people expect, because the garage has been doing the job…
Drywall is $37 a sheet or small bundle, a full kitchen cabinet rip-out is $293, and clean concrete prices separately at $219 per quarter truck. In this city…
$587 clears a 10x10 and $1174 clears a 10x20, flat, including the disposal. The reason so many Houstonians are paying rent on one of these is rarely a move…
A headline price in an ad is a floor, not a job. Our floor is a $75 visit minimum, and above it every item has a published number — a sofa is $126, a queen…
A television is $62 under 42 inches, $68 from 42 to 65 and $73 above that. A box of mixed electronics is $77. Electronics do not belong in a curbside bag…
Renting a truck looks like the cheap option until you price the whole afternoon. A sofa is $126 to have taken, carried out, disposal included — and the…
Most single-item calls in this city land between the $75 minimum and $164 for a standard refrigerator. Most whole-room jobs land between $241 and $587. Here…
Start with condition, not with options. In this climate the honest question is whether the piece has been out of air conditioning — because that single fact…
Metal is recovered, working goods are re-homed where anyone will take them, and a lot of the rest goes to landfill. That is the truthful version, and in…
Scrappers, delivery crews, your city, a charity and a paid hauler. Two of those cost nothing and one of them will be at the front of your house within a…
An uninsured crew on your stairs is your exposure, not theirs. In this city that risk is concentrated in three specific places: three-story townhouse…
