How much does junk removal cost per item?

Per-item junk removal prices for furniture, appliances, electronics, exercise equipment, and specialty items.

Quick Answer: Single-item junk removal pricing: sofa $75–$150, refrigerator $100–$175, mattress $50–$100, TV $50–$100, treadmill $100–$200, washer/dryer $75–$150 each. Most companies bundle multiple items into volume pricing — which is often cheaper than the sum of per-item prices.

What about surcharges?

Some companies advertise low per-item prices but add surcharges:

  • Mattress surcharge: $25–$75
  • Appliance surcharge: $25–$75
  • Electronics surcharge: $15–$35
  • Stair carry surcharge: $25–$100

Junk Nurse builds all surcharges into volume pricing. No separate fees.

When single-item pickup makes sense

For one specific piece — a single sofa, single mattress, single refrigerator — single-item pricing roughly matches our $89 minimum. No real savings to combining if you genuinely only have one item.

For 3+ items, always go with volume pricing.
