A photo is all it takes
Upload a Photo & Get Quote →Flat and photo-quoted, with the labor, the stair-carry, the drive and the disposal already inside the number: sofa $170, queen mattress $139, refrigerator $221, washer $179, dryer $172, TVs $84–$98, treadmill $155. Bigger clears — basements, garages, whole homes — price by truck-fill from $325 (2/8) to $985 (8/8). The minimum on any job is $95. For outside context, Homeyou and Yelp Costs put the average Seattle junk-removal job at roughly $253–$325. Full price guide →
Flat, photo-quoted. Send a photo and we price every item up front from real Seattle market data — e.g. sofa $170, queen mattress $139, refrigerator $221. Big jobs are priced by the truck: $325 (1/4) to $985. $95 minimum (Seattle's disposal costs run high), disposal included. Multiple items go in as a set rather than stacked one by one — send one photo of the whole pile.
Inside city limits, yes. Seattle Public Utilities collects "special items" at $30 per item — but it's by appointment, curbside only, and scheduled to your next regular garbage day. Booking is at seattle.gov/specialitems. If the piece is already at the curb and you can wait, it's the cheapest route there is.
Outside city limits — Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland, Sammamish, Issaquah, Renton, Newcastle, Mercer Island — there's no equivalent. That area is King County Solid Waste Division territory, a self-haul transfer-station system rather than a pickup service. Either way, the limit is the same one: neither authority comes inside your home, and neither will carry a sofa up your basement stairs. That carry is what we're for.
Because disposal here is genuinely expensive. King County charges $40.25 as a minimum load (up to 320 lb) and $243.38 per ton for garbage in 2026, plus $25 if a load isn't secured. SPU's own stations publish roughly $35 per trip (up to 420 lb) and about $165 per ton. A single mattress at a King County gate is the $40.25 minimum plus a $30 special-item fee before anyone has driven anywhere. The $95 floor covers that honestly instead of appearing as a surcharge at your door.
The service isn't subject to Washington's ~10.35% retail sales tax. WA instead applies a small 3.6% state Refuse/Solid Waste Collection Tax (RCW 82.18) on the disposal portion, which may show on your receipt — much less than the retail sales rate.
No — Washington bans TVs, monitors and computers from the garbage. The state's E-Cycle program recycles them free statewide (ecyclewa.org / 1-800-RECYCLE), and that's where every screen we pick up goes: flat panels, old CRTs, monitors, desktops, printers. TV & e-waste removal →
Mattresses are the awkward one. King County charges $30 each for a mattress or box spring at the transfer station (limit six per day), and charities won't take a used mattress at all — not Goodwill, not the Salvation Army, not ReStore. Ours are flat-priced and carried down from any floor: twin $111, full $126, queen $139, king $154, box spring $124. Mattress removal →
Everything gets sorted before anything is tipped — which in King County is also the cheap way to do it, since yard waste and clean wood tip at roughly $115 a ton against $243.38 for garbage. Resellable furniture and household goods go to Evergreen Goodwill, the Salvation Army (1-800-SA-TRUCK), Habitat for Humanity ReStore or St. Vincent de Paul of Seattle/King County, with a donation receipt on request. Electronics go free to WA E-Cycle. Metal is recycled, and fridges and freezers get EPA-certified freon recovery. Wood, cardboard and yard waste are source-separated, as Seattle's SMC 21.36 ban requires.
They quote on site only — a crew drives out, looks at your pile, and tells you the number while standing in your driveway. Their published figures are $130–$400 for a single item, $400–$600 for a half truck and $700–$1,000 for a full one; College HUNKS publishes $150+ single and $600–$800+ full. Those are their numbers, not ours. We give you a flat price from a photo before anyone leaves — $95 minimum, $170 for a sofa, $325–$985 by truck-fill — and it doesn't change when we arrive.
Yes — Seattle's Craftsman and box homes have basements and attics, and we carry everything up the stairs and out. You don't lift a thing. Basement cleanouts →
No — Capitol Hill, First Hill, Queen Anne and the hill neighborhoods are full of no-elevator walk-ups, and Queen Anne Ave N's Counterbalance runs roughly an 18–19% grade with 100+ public stairways nearby. We carry furniture and mattresses down at no extra charge: no stair fee, no hill fee.
Yes — the Downtown, Belltown, South Lake Union, First Hill and Bellevue high-rises require a Certificate of Insurance naming building management (typically $1M general liability) and a reserved freight elevator, often booked days out. We file the COI and book the elevator, included in the flat price. Our coverage: General Liability $1M per occurrence · $2M aggregate; Umbrella/Excess $2M · $5M; Workers’ Compensation $1M each accident. Your building is added as additional insured, coverage is primary and non-contributory, and a waiver of subrogation applies.
Yes. There are about 507 floating homes on roughly 70 docks around Lake Union — Eastlake, Westlake, Northlake, Portage Bay — and no truck reaches the door. Everything is hand-carried down the shared dock to the street. Tell us the dock and slip when you book so the crew brings the right gear.
Yes — Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland, Sammamish, Issaquah, Mercer Island, Bothell, Woodinville, Newcastle, and Renton, plus all of Seattle.
Furniture, mattresses, appliances (fridges with freon recovered), electronics (recycled via WA E-Cycle), exercise equipment, basement and attic and full-home or estate cleanouts. We can't take hazardous materials (paint, chemicals, propane) — ask us and we'll point you the right way.
Same-day is usually open across Seattle and the Eastside, and booking today rather than next week doesn't change the price. Two stretches are worth booking ahead for: UW move-out — the dorm deadline is noon Saturday, June 13, 2026, with June 10–13 the crush and a larger off-campus wave in late August — and the general April–September move season.

No. Washington bans TVs, monitors and computers from the garbage. The state's E-Cycle program recycles them free statewide (ecyclewa.org / 1-800-RECYCLE), and that's exactly where the screens we pick up go — flat panels, old CRTs, monitors and desktops alike.
