St. Louis junk removal price list

The short answer

Every item has a flat published price, and big piles use a truck-fill tier. Common St. Louis jobs: standard sofa $126, queen mattress $103, mattress and box spring set $143, standard refrigerator $164, washer $133, dryer $128, quarter truck $241, half truck $431, full truck $732. The order minimum is $100. There is no stairs fee, no walk-up fee, no same-day surcharge, and nothing is added at checkout.

Furniture

Old St. Louis homes run heavy on solid wood. That is why the armoire, hutch and solid bookcase lines are on here: they are common in Kirkwood, Webster Groves and St. Louis Hills cleanouts. Most of them are also over the City's 100-lb bulky limit, which is why they end up on a pickup rather than in the alley.

Mattresses and beds

The set price matters. A queen mattress and a box spring priced separately are $103 + $92 = $195; as a set they are $143.

Appliances

Missouri bans major appliances from landfills, so these go to recycling. Fridges, freezers, dehumidifiers and AC units also need their refrigerant recovered under federal rules before scrapping. Many St. Louis basements hold a second fridge or an old chest freezer next to the laundry, and both are well over the City's 100-lb bulky limit. City residents can use the monthly BOAT-E appliance collection, but it does not carry anything up the basement stair; the prices above include that carry.

Electronics, outdoor and heavy items

Rehab and old-house items

St. Louis has a lot of 19th- and early-20th-century brick housing under rehab, from Soulard and Lafayette Square to Old North St. Louis and Maplewood. These are the lines that come up most on those jobs:

A bathroom gut in a Benton Park rowhouse that leaves a cast-iron tub, a detached toilet and a vanity is $185 + $64 + $69 = $318. A kitchen rip-out with the cabinet set and the old range is $293 + $134 = $427.

Truck-fill tiers for piles and cleanouts

Tiers fit jobs where counting items makes no sense: a South City basement full of boxes, a garage in Florissant, an estate in Oakville. For a few big pieces, item prices are usually the cleaner answer.

How to read the list: worked examples

• Living room, Tower Grove South flat: sofa and armchair, $126 + $77 = $203.
• Bedroom, Richmond Heights: queen set and dresser, $143 + $126 = $269.
• Laundry room, Affton basement: washer and dryer, $133 + $128 = $261.
• Single item: one twin mattress is $82, billed at the $100 minimum. Add a dining chair: $82 + $45 = $127.
• Mixed pile: a half truck of boxes plus a washer is $431 + $133 = $564.

If your item total climbs past a tier, ask about it before you approve. A bedroom with a queen set, a metal frame, a dresser, two nightstands and a recliner is $143 + $68 + $126 + $57 + $57 + $98 = $549, which is between a 5/8 truck at $513 and a 3/4 truck at $587. There are no volume discounts. Every price is shown before you book and only changes if you approve.

What is included in every price

• Carry-out from anywhere in the home, any floor, basements included. No stairs fee.
• Loading, hauling and disposal. We recycle whatever we can.

• Vetted, insured local haulers, and a certificate of insurance for buildings emailed within one hour.

For comparison, City residents already pay a $14 per month per unit solid-waste fee that covers monthly bulky pickup of up to three items under 100 lbs and 6 ft each, set out in the alley or at the curb.
