Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to have junk removed?
Most junk removal companies — including Junk Platoon — price jobs based on how much space your items take up in the truck. The more space your junk fills, the higher the load size.
How does junk removal work?
Junk removal is a simple, stress-free process:
Call, text, use a contact form, or book online.
Describe what you need removed to get a rough estimate.
Choose your appointment time (usually a 2-hour arrival window).
On appointment day, you’ll receive a courtesy call 30 minutes before arrival.
Once on-site, simply show the crew what needs to go. You’ll get a firm, upfront quote.
If approved, the crew loads everything and makes your junk disappear.
Pay after the job is complete. We accept cash, card, or check.
What is the cheapest way to get rid of rubbish?

Host a garage or yard sale to sell usable items.
