Pricing FAQ
Upfront pricing, no hidden fees, no surprises.
Steel City Cleanouts quotes every job rather than publishing a rate card, because volume, access, stairs, and item type change the number more than any list can capture. All quotes are given upfront before work begins.
Nobody likes surprise bills, especially after a cleanout. Here's exactly how we price jobs and what affects the final number.
How junk removal is priced
By volume. How much space the junk takes up in our truck, not by weight or time. Quarter truck, half truck, three-quarters, full truck. We tell you the price before we load a single thing. If you add more during the job, we quote the add before we take it.
How estate cleanouts are priced
By the job. We walk through the home, estimate the total volume, and quote a flat rate. Two single-family homes of the same square footage can differ by a factor of three depending on stairs, access, and how much is inside, which is why we walk it first. Larger estates and Wexford-sized homes can run higher.
Single-item minimums
Single items are the smallest job type. Appliances, couches, and mattresses are quoted on size and access. Stairs and basement pickups may add a small surcharge.
What's included in every price
Labor, loading, hauling, disposal fees, donation routing, sweep-out, and fuel. The price we quote is the price you pay.
What's not included
Hazardous materials disposal, asbestos abatement, and major structural demolition. If any of those come up during the walk-through, we'll tell you upfront.
Payment methods
Credit card, debit card, Zelle, cash, and check (for recurring commercial clients). Payment on completion. We don't ask for deposits on standard jobs.
