“Louis was so wonderful! Communicated ahead of time to let me know when he would be arriving, expertly disassembled a couch to remove it from the apartment and left the space immaculate afterwards!”
Portland Pricing
How much does junk removal cost in Portland?
One sofa is $126. A queen mattress is $103. A garage that’s quietly filled up for years is usually a half truck, $431. Every number below is what you actually pay in the Portland area — flat, quoted from a photo before anyone drives out, with carry-out, loading and disposal already inside it.
The minimum order is $75, and the quote you get already includes everything — labor, loading, disposal and tax.
The two ways a job gets priced
Name the things and you get item pricing — a fixed price per piece. If you can’t, you get truck-load pricing: you’re paying for the space it takes up.
| How full | Price | Roughly |
|---|---|---|
| 1/4 truck | $241 | a small bedroom — bed, dresser, a few boxes |
| 3/8 truck | $338 | a single-car garage’s back wall |
| 1/2 truck | $431 | the most common cleanout size we run |
| 5/8 truck | $513 | a two-car garage, or a small apartment |
| 3/4 truck | $587 | a garage plus a patio |
| 7/8 truck | $661 | a full two-bedroom clear-out |
| Full truck | $732 | a whole-house load |
What actually moves the number here
Less than people expect. Stairs don’t change your price, and neither does same-day. What moves it is weight, volume, and where the load has to go.
Renters have no city option
The municipal bulky system effectively leaves renters without a curbside route, which is why apartment and rental turnovers make up so much of what we do here.
An older housing stock
A city median build year in the 1960s means basements, attics, narrow stairwells and built-ins — the carry-out is the work, and it’s included in the price.
Crossing into Washington
We serve Clark County across the river. Disposal economics differ on that side; your price doesn’t.
If you rent here, the city programme probably isn’t for you
Portland’s bulky-item arrangements are built around owner-occupied curbside service. If you own and your item qualifies, use it.
Renters largely fall outside it, and that’s most of the inner-east and inner-north-east buildings we work in. Add end-of-lease timing and a housing stock full of stairs, and hiring a crew is usually the only practical route.

Portland pricing FAQs
Does the price change across the metro?
No. Downtown, the Pearl, Sellwood, Beaverton, Gresham and Vancouver WA all use the same list.
I rent — can I still get rid of a couch?
Yes, and that’s the common case here since the city system is geared to owner-occupied curbside pickup.
Do stairs cost extra?
No. Walk-ups, basements and attics are included in the quoted price.
What won’t you take?
Paint, chemicals, pressurized propane, asbestos and medical waste go through separate routes.
Is tax added on top of the quote?
Whatever applies to your address is already in the number — there’s nothing extra on the Oregon side, and Washington’s refuse tax across the river is built in rather than tacked on. The quote is the charge.
Can you come while I’m at work?
Yes. Leave it somewhere reachable — a Southeast driveway, a garage code, a covered spot on the back porch so the rain doesn’t sit on it — and we’ll photograph the cleared area.
How much does junk removal cost in Portland?
Everything is priced from your photo. A sofa is $126, a queen mattress $103, a refrigerator $164, and a mid-size TV $68. Whole basements and garages go by truck volume, from $241 to $732, and the minimum job is $75.
Is there tax on junk removal in Portland?
Oregon has no sales tax, so jobs on the Oregon side have no tax line. In Clark County, Washington, the state’s 3.6% solid-waste collection tax applies to the service.
Can I book without asking my landlord?
Yes. The city’s bulky pickup has to go through whoever holds the garbage account, but you can book JunkRabbit yourself for anything you own.
Will you carry things up from the basement?
Yes. Basement and attic stairs are part of the flat price, including the narrow, steep ones in older Portland houses.
Why not just use the city’s bulky pickup?
If you own a house, can wait a week, and can bring everything to the curb, it may be the cheaper route. It doesn’t serve apartments, it needs the account holder to schedule it, and it charges per item.
Do you serve Vancouver and the rest of Clark County?
Yes — Vancouver, Hazel Dell, Salmon Creek, Camas, Washougal, Battle Ground, Ridgefield and La Center, at the same prices plus Washington’s 3.6% tax line.
