How Much Does Junk Removal Cost in San Antonio?
Typical prices, what affects the cost, and how to get the most for your money.
If you've got a garage full of old furniture, a broken appliance, or a whole house to clear out, the first question is usually: how much is this going to cost? Here's a straightforward breakdown of junk removal pricing in San Antonio.
Typical junk removal prices in San Antonio
Most junk removal companies, including Junk Patrols, price by how much space your items take up in the truck.
| Load size | What it looks like | Typical price |
|---|---|---|
| Single item | One couch, mattress, or appliance | $75 – $150 |
| 1/4 truck | A few furniture pieces or a small pile | $150 – $250 |
| 1/2 truck | A small room or partial garage | $250 – $400 |
| 3/4 truck | A full garage or large room | $400 – $550 |
| Full truck | Whole-home or estate cleanout | $550 – $750+ |
Estate cleanouts, eviction cleanouts, and hoarder cleanups may take multiple loads and are quoted after a quick look at the space.
What affects the cost?
Volume. The more space your junk fills in the truck, the higher the price. This is the biggest factor.
Weight. Heavy materials like concrete, dirt, shingles, and brick cost more because landfills charge by weight.
Type of items. Mattresses, tires, refrigerators, freezers, and electronics can carry extra disposal fees.
Labor and access. Stairs, attics, and backyard items take more time. Hot tubs, pianos, and sheds that need to be taken apart cost more than curbside pickup.
Location. Pricing is usually the same across San Antonio, but jobs far outside the city may include a small travel fee.
Junk removal vs. doing it yourself
Renting a truck or dumpster can look cheaper at first, but the costs add up:
- Truck rental: $20–$40 per day, plus mileage and gas
- Dump fees: charged per load or by weight at the landfill
- Your time: loading, driving, unloading, and multiple trips
- Risk: back injuries, scratched floors, and damaged walls
With a junk removal service, the price includes the labor, loading, hauling, and disposal. You point, and we do the rest.
