Can I get an accurate junk removal quote from a photo?
Yes, for nearly every household job. A photo shows what the item is, its size and roughly how much of a truck a pile will fill, which is what the price depends on. A clear shot of a sofa, a chest freezer or a garage wall is enough to match it to the published list: a sofa is $126, a chest freezer $146, a quarter truck of mixed junk $241. Where a photo cannot show something, such as a second basement room behind a door, add another photo or a note. If the crew finds more than the photos showed, the price only changes if you approve it.
Can I book junk removal completely online, without giving my phone number first?
Yes. You can upload photos or pick items from the list, see your price, choose a 2-hour arrival window and book, all online. There is no sales call before you see a number. You add contact details at booking so the crew can reach you on the day and so we can send a confirmation, but you see the full flat price first. That suits a lot of Detroit-area cleanouts, which are often arranged by an heir out of state, a landlord with several properties, or someone booking late in the evening.
How do I get an instant price for junk removal without calling anyone?
Go to the instant quote page and either upload a photo of what needs to go or pick each item from the list. The price appears right away, item by item, with the total. For a single item it is the list price, such as $103 for a queen mattress or $164 for a standard fridge. For a pile or cleanout it is a truck-fill tier, from $241 for a quarter truck to $732 for a full truck. Orders under $100 are billed at the $100 minimum. Nobody needs to call you, and nobody needs to visit first.
How do junk removal companies price jobs in Detroit?
In Metro Detroit you will see three models. National franchises such as 1-800-GOT-JUNK and College HUNKS mostly price full-service jobs by truck volume, with the quote given on site. National online services such as LoadUp publish starting prices and confirm by ZIP code. Flat-list services, including ours, publish a price for each common item and each truck-fill tier, with carry-out and disposal included. Detroit's own free option is the city's weekly bulk pickup, up to 2 cubic yards at the curb by 7 a.m. Whichever you use, compare like for like: same items, same rooms, carry-out included.
Are there junk removal services in Detroit that don't charge hidden fees?
Ours are published and shown before you book. The price includes carrying items out from any floor, loading, hauling and disposal. There is no stairs fee, no walk-up fee, no same-day surcharge and no sales tax line on Detroit jobs. The only rule on top of the list is the $100 order minimum. A basement sofa and the washer next to it are $126 + $133 = $259, and that is the bill. Whoever you hire, ask before booking whether carry-out from the basement and disposal fees are included in the number you were quoted.
What if the price changes when the crew arrives?
It only changes if you approve it. The price is set from your photos or item list before booking. If the crew arrives and there is more than you showed, say a second chest freezer behind the furnace or a garage loft nobody mentioned, they show you the difference and the updated total before taking it. You can approve it, or leave the extra items for another day. Nothing gets added after the truck has left. Items you showed in the photos are taken at the price you saw, regardless of how narrow the basement stairs turn out to be.
Why photos beat a phone estimate
On the phone, "an old couch and some boxes in the basement" can mean almost anything, so phone estimates tend to be ranges or "we'll see when we get there." A photo removes the guesswork: it shows a 3-piece sectional rather than a loveseat, ten boxes rather than forty, and whether the freezer is a chest or an upright. That is the difference between $119 and $185, or between a quarter truck and a half. Photos also let someone price a job they are not standing in, which matters for out-of-town heirs and landlords. And you can take them at 11 p.m. without talking to anyone.
What to photograph so the quote holds
- Each item or pile, from far enough back to show its full size.
- Every wall of the basement, including under the stairs and behind the furnace, where Detroit basements hide the most.
- The basement stairs and the turn at the top, if it is tight.
- The garage, door open, plus the rafters or loft. Note if it is reached only from the alley.
- Heavy items up close: radiators, cast iron tubs, safes, pianos, chest freezers.
- Upper floors in bungalows and two-flats, including half-story bedrooms.
- Anything excluded from the city curb, like tires, shingles or concrete, so they are priced too.
- Paint or fluids, so we can tell you what is accepted.
Can you book same-day in Detroit without calling?
Yes. Book by 4 PM and pick a same-day arrival window, with no same-day surcharge. We run 7 days a week, 8am to midnight, so an evening window after work is possible. You can do it entirely online: photo or item list, price, window, booking. Same-day matters in Detroit when the city's weekly bulk day has just passed, when a closing or lease end is tomorrow, or when a summer storm has soaked the basement and the wet carpet and boxes need to come out now. Winter jobs are fine too; just clear the path from the door to the driveway.
Buildings with their own paperwork
Downtown, Midtown, Lafayette Park, Palmer Park and the Southfield towers are mostly managed buildings, and most require a certificate of insurance before any vendor uses the elevator or the loading dock. Ours names your building and is emailed within 1 hour of the request. Book the freight elevator or dock time with management first, then pick a 2-hour arrival window that matches. Walk-ups in older Midtown and Brush Park buildings need no reservation; crews carry from any floor with no stairs fee. Property managers can set up one account covering several buildings.
What the price includes
- Carrying items out from anywhere in the home, any floor, basement and attic included
- Loading, hauling and disposal
- Recycling whatever we can, and trying to donate usable items when local charities accept them
- A certificate of insurance for your building, emailed within 1 hour
- Vetted, insured local haulers
- A 2-hour arrival window you choose, 7 days a week, 8am to midnight
- No stairs fee, no walk-up fee, no same-day surcharge, no sales tax line

Frequently asked questions
Can I get a junk removal price in Detroit without calling?
Yes. Upload a photo or pick items online and the flat price appears before you book. No call or visit is needed.
How accurate is a photo quote for a basement?
Very, if the photos show every wall and the stairs. If the crew finds more than the photos showed, the price only changes if you approve it.
Is there a fee for basement stairs?
No. Crews carry items out from any floor at the list price, with no stairs fee.
What is the minimum order?
$100. Orders whose items add up to less are billed at $100, so pairing small items, like an end table and nightstand at $52 + $57 = $109, makes sense.
