The Microsoft corridor (98052, 98053) moves fast, and so does the furniture. Relocation and lease-end clears, garages, basements, whole townhomes — carried out of the unit at a flat photo-quoted price, $95 minimum, sofa $170. Redmond is King County, not Seattle, so the city's $30-per-item bulky program isn't an option here. We are.

Same-day is usually open across Redmond, Overlake and the 98053 side. If your date is the day the lease ends or the day before a flight, say so and we'll lock that slot.
A vetted crew lifts it from the bedroom, the third-floor townhome, or the back of the garage. Usable furniture goes to donation, electronics to free state e-waste recycling. You lift nothing.
Every price below is flat and photo-quoted, with the loading, the drive and the disposal already inside the number. Single items price individually; a room, a garage or a whole townhome prices as truck-fill.
| Item / volume | Flat price |
|---|---|
| Sofa / couch | $170 |
| Queen mattress | $139 |
| King mattress | $154 |
| Box spring | $124 |
| Refrigerator | $221 |
| Washer | $179 |
| Dryer | $172 |
| Desk (standard) | $112 |
| Monitor | $78 |
| Peloton | $108 |
| Treadmill | $155 |
| Truck-fill — quarter load | $325 |
| Truck-fill — half load | $580 |
| Truck-fill — full truck | $985 |
$95 minimum. Loading, stair-carry and disposal are included. Multiple items ride together on one trip at one price — a sofa plus a queen mattress plus a box spring is one quote, not three service calls, and once you're past roughly three or four big pieces the truck-fill tiers are usually the cheaper number. Washington's 3.6% state refuse tax on disposal is shown in the quote — that's the real tax on this work, not the roughly 10.35% retail sales rate people brace for.
For third-party context: consumer cost trackers including Homeyou and the Yelp Costs guides put a typical Seattle-area junk removal job in the $253–$325 range. Our per-item numbers sit under that for a single piece, and our truck-fill tiers tell you the number before the truck rolls instead of after it's loaded.
| Option | Cost | Speed | Catch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seattle's $30/item bulky pickup | — | — | Not available: SPU serves Seattle city limits only, and Redmond isn't in them |
| Self-haul to Houghton or Factoria | $40.25 min load (≤320 lb), $243.38/ton, +$25 if unsecured | A weekend afternoon | You need a truck, straps, a tarp and the muscle to load and unload twice |
| Donate (charity pickup) | Free | Days to weeks | Only clean, resellable pieces; scheduled on their route, not your move date |
| Traditional full-service hauler | ~$150–$600+ | 1–3 days | Priced by truck volume, usually confirmed on site after they see the load |
| JunkRabbit | From $95 flat · sofa $170 | Same day | None — flat photo price, we carry it out, donation and E-Cycle routed |
This is where a lot of Redmond residents get caught out, because they've read about Seattle's program and assumed it covers them. It doesn't. Seattle Public Utilities runs an appointment-only bulky-item pickup at $30 per item, curbside only (seattle.gov/specialitems) — and it serves addresses inside Seattle city limits. Redmond sits in King County, on the other side of Lake Washington and outside SPU's service area entirely, so that $30 number is simply not on the table here.
What Redmond actually has is self-haul to a King County Solid Waste transfer station — realistically Houghton in Kirkland or Factoria in Bellevue. King County's 2026 published rates are a $40.25 minimum load for anything up to 320 pounds, then $243.38 per ton, plus a $25 unsecured-load fee if your load isn't tarped and strapped. On top of that, special items carry their own charges: mattresses and box springs are $30 each, capped at six per day, and refrigerant appliances — fridges, freezers, ACs — are $30 per unit because they require EPA-certified freon recovery before they can be scrapped.
Add it up honestly and self-haul is a real option only if you own a pickup, have a free Saturday, and can physically wrestle a sofa down the townhome stairs, into the bed, and back out again at the station. For the resident Redmond actually has the most of — a tech tenant on a fixed relocation date, no truck, movers already gone — it isn't an option at all. And a lot of Overlake apartment complexes and 98053 HOAs won't let you stage a couch at the curb while you figure it out. That's the gap we fill: we come to the unit, carry it out, and it's gone the same day at a price you saw before we arrived.
Redmond turnover produces an unusual amount of genuinely good stuff — barely-used desks, IKEA and West Elm furniture bought two years ago for an apartment that's now being handed back. Anything clean and resellable is routed to donation first: Evergreen Goodwill, the Salvation Army (1-800-SA-TRUCK), and Habitat for Humanity ReStore all take usable furniture across the Eastside, and we'll get you a receipt on request.
The electronics that come with tech turnover get a better ending still. Washington bans TVs, computers, laptops and monitors from the garbage, and the state's manufacturer-funded E-Cycle program recycles them free (ecyclewa.org / 1-800-RECYCLE). So the three monitors and the old desktop don't get dumped, they get recycled — which also keeps them out of the per-ton disposal that drives everyone's price up. Metal, clean wood and cardboard are source-separated the same way. It's better disposal and it's cheaper disposal at the same time, which is exactly why our flat price can stay flat.
Redmond isn't one kind of building, and the carry is different in each. Overlake's transit-oriented townhomes and condos stack three floors with the living space up top — the sofa comes down two flights and out a narrow entry, and there's often a shared drive rather than a curb to work from. Apartment communities along the corridor typically require vendor check-in and forbid leaving anything by the dumpster enclosure. The newer 98053 subdivisions come with HOA rules that rule out curbside staging altogether, and the semi-rural lots out that way have long driveways where "the curb" is a hundred feet from the garage.
Our answer is the same across all of it: we load from where the item is — the bedroom, the third floor, the back of the garage — so nothing ever has to sit outside waiting. Stairs are in the flat price; there's no stair fee and no long-carry fee. If your building or association wants a certificate of insurance or a vendor check-in, tell us when you book and we take care of it before the crew arrives.

How much does junk removal cost in Redmond?
Flat and photo-quoted with a $95 minimum: sofa $170, queen mattress $139, king $154, box spring $124, refrigerator $221, washer $179, dryer $172, desk $112, monitor $78, Peloton $108, treadmill $155. Whole-home and relocation clears run as truck-fill, $325 for a quarter load up to $985 full. Loading and disposal included; the 3.6% state refuse tax on disposal is shown in the quote.
Does Redmond pick up bulky items the way Seattle does?
No. Seattle's $30-per-item SPU program covers Seattle city limits only. Redmond is King County, so the realistic alternative is self-haul to Houghton (Kirkland) or Factoria (Bellevue): $40.25 minimum load up to 320 lb, $243.38/ton after, $25 more for an unsecured load, plus $30 per mattress or box spring (six-per-day limit) and $30 per refrigerant appliance.
Can you clear my apartment before my flight?
Yes — it's our most common Redmond job. Photos in, flat price back, and we schedule to your hard date. We carry everything out of the unit, which is the whole point when the movers are gone and the rental truck is already returned.
Furniture and a mattress in one trip?
Yes, and it's usually cheaper. One trip, one flat price — sofa $170 plus queen $139 plus box spring $124 on the same truck. Past three or four big pieces, truck-fill from $325 is normally the better number and we'll say so.
What happens to my monitors and old desktop?
They're banned from Washington garbage and recycled free through the state E-Cycle program, so we divert them at no cost instead of paying to dump them. Usable desks and chairs go to Evergreen Goodwill, the Salvation Army (1-800-SA-TRUCK) or Habitat ReStore.
Is there sales tax on the service?
Not the ~10.35% retail rate — Washington doesn't tax junk removal that way. The 3.6% state refuse tax applies to disposal and it's shown in your quote up front.
Do you work with my apartment complex or HOA?
Yes. Overlake communities and 98053 subdivisions commonly ban curbside staging, so we load straight from your unit or garage. If they need vendor check-in or a certificate of insurance, mention it when you book and we'll arrange it.
Is it cheaper than a traditional full-service hauler?
Our number is fixed before we arrive; volume-priced haulers commonly land between roughly $150 and $600+ and often only confirm once they've seen the load. Ours includes the carry-out and the disposal.
No. Seattle Public Utilities' $30-per-item bulky pickup only serves addresses inside Seattle city limits — Redmond is King County, so it does not apply here. Your alternative is self-haul to a King County transfer station such as Houghton in Kirkland or Factoria in Bellevue, where 2026 rates are a $40.25 minimum load up to 320 pounds, $243.38 per ton beyond that, plus a $25 fee for an unsecured load. Mattresses and box springs are $30 each with a six-per-day limit, and refrigerant appliances are $30 per unit.
Yes — that is our most common Redmond job. Send photos, get an exact flat price back, and we schedule around your hard date. We carry everything out of the unit ourselves, which matters when the relocation date is fixed, the rental truck is already returned, and you cannot make a transfer-station run.
Yes, and it is usually cheaper that way — one trip, one flat price. A sofa at $170 plus a queen mattress at $139 and a box spring at $124 all go on the same truck. Once a unit's worth of furniture is involved, truck-fill pricing from $325 is normally the better number, and we will tell you which way is cheaper before we book.
Monitors, desktops, laptops and TVs are banned from Washington garbage and are recycled free through the state's E-Cycle program, so we divert them rather than dumping them. Resellable desks, chairs and furniture are routed to donation — Evergreen Goodwill, the Salvation Army at 1-800-SA-TRUCK, or a Habitat for Humanity ReStore.
Not the roughly 10.35% retail sales rate people expect — Washington does not tax the junk-removal service that way. What applies is the 3.6% state refuse tax on disposal, and it is shown in your quote rather than sprung on you at the end.
Yes. Overlake apartment and townhome communities and the newer 98053 subdivisions often restrict curbside staging entirely, so we load from your unit or garage — nothing sits at the curb waiting for a truck. If your community requires vendor check-in or a certificate of insurance, tell us when you book and we handle it.
