Junk Removal	$150 – $700+ per load (volume-based)	Furniture, appliances, renovations
Dumpster Bin Rental	$300 – $600+ per week (bin size-based)	DIY projects, roofing, yard cleanups

What Affects the Cost of Waste Removal?

Several factors determine your total waste removal bill:

📦 1. Type & Volume of Waste

• Heavy or hazardous items = higher disposal fees
• Bulky items (e.g. mattresses, appliances) may have surcharges
• Clean loads of green waste or recyclables are often cheaper

🏠 2. Service Location

Urban areas may have lower costs due to proximity; rural pickups may require travel or fuel surcharges.

🗓 3. Frequency

• One-time pickups cost more per visit
• Ongoing contracts (e.g. weekly bins for businesses) are more cost-efficient

🚚 4. Labour Involved

Full-service junk removal includes lifting, sorting, and hauling — expect to pay more than a bin rental you load yourself.
