Affordable junk removal pricing, with nothing hidden

Orange Crew runs upfront, volume-based pricing on every job, every truck. We measure how much of the box truck your items take up, lock the tier in writing before we lift, and the number you see is the number you pay.

That means no clock running while we squeeze through a stairwell, no "fuel surcharge" tacked on at the curb, and no awkward conversations after the truck is loaded. Just a fair price for the space your stuff fills, matching the crew standards page we publish for transparency.

Free estimates over text or in person. We come out, walk it with you, and quote it on the spot — no obligation to book.

Always free

Orange Crew works hard to give you a no-obligation pricing model — that's why our junk removal estimates are 100% free.

Walk-throughs, photo quotes over text, phone consultations — none of them cost a dime, and you are never locked in. Approve the price, we go to work. Don't, we shake hands and you owe nothing. Still deciding? Browse the six-step flow so you know what crew day feels like.

By the item

Single-item junk removal costs

Flat per-item prices for the most common pickups. Combine three or more and you usually drop into a truck-load tier below—then compare against our ZIP coverage map if you are outside core ZIPs.

Please note: Mattresses and box springs are not included in truckload pricing. A $50 surcharge applies per item in addition to your quoted load price.

Pricing FAQ

Common pricing questions

Truck volumes, surcharges, payments, and what's actually included in the quote.

How much does junk removal cost?

Single items start at $120. Mixed loads are priced across five truck-load tiers: 1/8 load $150, 1/4 load $280, 1/2 load $430, 3/4 load $550, and a Full load $650. Please note: Mattresses and box springs are not included in truckload pricing. A $50 surcharge applies per item in addition to your quoted load price. We confirm your tier and total on site, in writing, before we lift. ZIP questions belong on the Chicagoland service map, while line items pre-fill inside the online quote tool.

Is the estimate really free?

Yes. 100% free, no obligation. Text photos to (224) 386-4836 for a remote quote, or schedule a free on-site walk-through. You only pay if you say go.

What's included in the price?

All labor, loading, hauling, sweep-up, recycling, donation drop-offs, and standard disposal fees. The price you agree to before we start is the price you pay — no fuel charges, no stair fees, no tip expected.

Are there extra charges I should know about?

No surprise charges. Please note: Mattresses and box springs are not included in truckload pricing. A $50 surcharge applies per item in addition to your quoted load price. Heavy materials — dirt, concrete, roofing shingles, gravel, and railroad ties — are not covered by the standard truck-load tiers. They're charged separately based on bed-load volume, and we disclose the rate in writing before we start work.

Do you charge by the hour?

No. We price by truck volume so you never pay for stairs, slow elevators, or weather. The same load is the same price whether it takes us 15 minutes or 90.

What payment methods do you accept?

All major credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, ACH, business checks, and cash. Payment is collected after the job, not before.

Do you offer same-day junk removal?

Same-day windows are usually available when routing allows. Booking online or texting before noon gives you the best chance at an afternoon slot.

What can't you take?

We do not transport hazardous materials such as fuels, solvents, bulk wet paint, asbestos, propane, or pressurized tanks outside approved recycling streams. Review the EPA HHW overview plus Illinois EPA programs for why those loads stay off our trucks. When in doubt, text a photo before we dispatch.
