Questions

How much should I charge for junk removal?

From cost. Crew-hours at your loaded rate, plus the actual dump fee for that load, plus your overhead share, is your break-even. Price is break-even divided by one minus your margin. Quoting from truck fraction alone ignores that a dense load costs far more to tip.

Why do heavy loads lose money?

Because disposal is charged by weight and the quote was made by volume. A half-truck of tile or shingles can cost more to tip than a full truck of furniture. Enter the real dump fee above and the break-even moves immediately.

Should I price by the truckload or by the item?

Either, as long as the number you quote came from cost. Use this to find the break-even for a typical load, then build your item and volume pricing so it clears that floor.

Did that number surprise you?

Then it is worth twenty minutes. I am not a contractor — I do the arithmetic. On the call you tell me how you price now, and at the end I tell you honestly whether a model built on your numbers would help you or whether this calculator is already enough. Both answers happen.

No cost and no obligation. What I will not promise you is more won jobs — a correct price sometimes loses work, and that is the method working, not a fault in it.
