No hidden fees, no hourly billing, no surprises on arrival. Here is exactly how we price every job — and how to get a firm quote in under 5 minutes.
Most junk removal companies price by the hour. We do not. We price by volume — how much of our trailer your items fill. You know the price before we arrive. We never change it after.
The three things that affect every quote:
How much of our trailer your items fill. One sofa is a small load. A full garage is a full trailer. The more you have, the better the value per item.
Heavy items like concrete, brick, and appliances take more effort and cost more per cubic foot than light furniture or boxes.
Ground floor with easy driveway access is the simplest job. Tight stairwells, upper floors, or gated backyards take more time and may affect the price.
These are our standard starting prices. Final price depends on access, floor level, and condition — we confirm everything before scheduling.
Any single small item or minimum load
Any condition, any floor
Any condition, any floor
Any condition, any floor
Standard sofa, easy access — price varies by size and access
Washer, dryer, stove, or dishwasher. Freon units extra.
Both units removed in one trip
For garage cleanouts, property cleanouts, and multi-item loads, we price by how much of our trailer your items fill. The more you have, the better the per-item value. Text us photos of the full scope — we give you one price for everything, no itemized list.
Numbers from actual jobs we have completed across Northern Virginia — so you know what to expect.
Customer Andrew booked entirely through our website form, left the gate open, and was at work when we arrived. 10×14 shed demolished, all debris loaded and hauled away. He never had to speak to us on the phone once. Clean slab, same day.
Second-floor apartment, tight stairwell, elevator building. Sofa and armchair removed without a scratch to the walls. Carried out in one trip, trailer loaded, done before noon.
Freon unit in a basement utility room. Refrigerant recovered per EPA requirements, unit removed safely, hauled to a licensed transfer station. Priced upfront, no surprise fees for the Freon handling.
Old furniture, boxes, broken appliances, yard tools, and two decades of accumulated junk. Full trailer, one trip, garage completely empty. McLean garage: same job with construction debris included.
Some jobs are hard to price from a photo alone. For these, we come out, see the job, and give you a firm price on the spot — no obligation to book.
Size, seat count, access, and disassembly all affect the price. We assess in person first.
Structure size, material, contents, and access all factor in. Text us a photo for a rough estimate, on-site for a firm price.
Deck size, attachment type, and material make every job different. Free on-site estimate before we start.
Text us photos and your zip code — we respond within minutes. Same-day available across Northern Virginia. No obligation, no pressure.
Some junk removal companies give a low estimate over the phone, then revise it when they see the job in person. We do not do that. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay — unless the scope changes significantly and you approve it first.
This is why we ask for photos upfront. A clear photo tells us everything — volume, access, item condition, floor level. We have quoted thousands of jobs from photos across Northern Virginia and our estimates are accurate. If we are unsure, we will ask a follow-up question before quoting.
And if the job turns out to be smaller than we thought? We charge less. It has happened.
"Matt was great to work with. I filled out the form on their website this morning for a mattress and box spring removal, received a quote within about 15 minutes, and everything was picked up the same day. Their pricing was fair, communication was excellent, and the whole process was quick and easy. Although they're based in Fairfax, they also came out to Chevy Chase without any issues. I highly recommend DMV Go Junk to anyone in the DMV area looking for reliable junk removal."

Yes. Items on upper floors, in basements, or in tight spaces with narrow hallways require more time and effort to remove safely. We factor this in when you send photos — if you mention stairs or a tight hallway, we account for it in the quote. No surprise fees after the job starts.
