Junk removal in Greensboro is priced by volume: how much of the truck your load fills, with labour, hauling and the landfill fee inside one number. Below are the ranges you should expect from a local crew in Greensboro in 2026; the exact figure comes from a photo or a look at the pile, before anything is lifted.
Greensboro's landfill and transfer fees are middling for the state, so local junk prices sit close to the national ranges; what moves a Greensboro quote is the house itself, the basements and attics of Fisher Park and Irving Park take longer to empty than a Summerfield garage.
Truck-load pricing in Greensboro
Most jobs land in the quarter-to-half-truck range. Heavy material (concrete, tile, dirt, shingles) is priced by weight instead, because the landfill charges by the ton.
| Load | Typical price | What fits |
| Minimum / single item | $99–$175 | one mattress, one couch, one appliance |
| 1/4 truck | $225–$325 | a bedroom set, a garage corner |
| 1/2 truck | $375–$500 | a small apartment, a garage |
| 3/4 truck | $525–$650 | most estate cleanouts, one room at a time |
| Full truck | $625–$800 | a whole house floor, a big renovation pile |
Single items
Single items are the cheapest way to use a junk crew, and the price includes carrying it out from wherever it is.
| Item | Typical price |
| Mattress and box spring | $100–$175 |
| Couch or sectional | $125–$250 |
| Refrigerator or freezer | $125–$200 |
| Washer, dryer or water heater | $100–$175 |
| Hot tub (cut up and hauled) | $350–$650 |
| Piano | $250–$500 |
| Shed (taken down and hauled) | $400–$900 |
Dumpster rental prices in Greensboro
When a job runs longer than a visit, a roll-off in the driveway usually costs less than two truck loads. Prices include delivery, pickup, the rental period and a tonnage allowance; overage is charged per ton.
| Size | Typical price per week | Best for |
| 10-yard | $325–$450 | garage, bathroom, small roof |
| 15-yard | $400–$525 | kitchen remodel, two-bedroom cleanout |
| 20-yard | $450–$600 | whole house, large roof, big landscaping job |
What makes a job cost more, or less
- Stairs, long carries and tight access add labour time.
- Heavy debris (concrete, dirt, roofing) is priced by weight.
- Same-day and after-hours pickups carry a premium.
- Items that can be donated or recycled sometimes reduce the disposal fee.
- Hazardous material is never accepted; the county lists the drop-off options.
Questions we get about this
What is the cheapest way to get rid of junk in Greensboro?
One item, left in the driveway or garage so the crew does not need you home, on a weekday. Bundling several items into one pickup is cheaper than several small pickups; a full truck costs less per item than a quarter truck.
Do you charge to give a quote?
No. A photo gets a firm number back, usually within the hour; an on-site look is free too.
Is it cheaper to rent a dumpster or call the truck?
For anything that fits in one visit, the truck, because you do no loading. For a job that runs a week or more, the dumpster.
Does the city of Greensboro take bulky items for free?
Greensboro collects bulk items, but by request and within limits; the city's Bulk Items page, linked under Local resources on our home page, explains how to book it and what qualifies. What does not qualify, or cannot wait for the booked date, is what we haul.
