Junk Removal in Lansdale, PA: What We Haul and What It Costs

Junk removal in Lansdale, PA means one truck, one visit, and a flat price set by how much of the truck bed your load fills. A 1/8 load runs $150 and a full truck $695. Homeowners book it for garages, basements and estate cleanouts; landlords and contractors book it for turnovers and jobsite debris. Serving Lansdale and 15 surrounding towns.

Lansdale Premier Junk Removal has worked out of 5 Green St, a block off Main Street by the SEPTA station, since 2015. One crew covers all of it: furniture and appliances, garage and estate cleanouts, yard waste, hoarding and storage units, landlord turnovers, contractor debris, concrete and brick, cabinet tear-outs, shed and fence demolition, pallets and scrap metal. Loading it yourself instead? A 20, 30 or 40-yard roll-off drops on your driveway, and the yard number is the cubic yard capacity you pay for. Every truck, estimate and invoice carries PA HIC #PA112494.

Match Your Pile to a Tier Before You Call

The hardest part of pricing your own job is guessing which fraction of a truck your pile fills. Below is the same truck photographed from the same spot at four fill levels. Find the one that looks like your garage corner, and that is your tier — the crew confirms it in writing on site.

  • Junk removal truck loaded to the 1/8 line, the $150 tier
    1/8

What the Price Includes, Every Time

Six things sit inside the tier you approve, and none of them is an add-on. What sits outside it — travel, weight, heavy material, card processing — is published in the same table as the prices, at the same size. A charge you were told about before booking is not a surprise.

Who Shows Up at Your Door

Ryan Detweiler beside the Lansdale Premier Junk Removal truck

Ryan Detweiler owns the company and runs most of the jobs himself. He grew up in the North Penn Valley and spent years in moving and property maintenance before starting this in 2015. Call during business hours and he is the one who picks up — not a call center, and not a franchise booking queue.

I got tired of watching people get quoted one number on the phone and charged another in the driveway. So the whole list went on the site. Look it up before you call me.

Residential Junk Removal and Cleanout Services in Lansdale

  • Estate Cleanouts

    Settling a parent’s house is not a one-truck job. A full house cleanout runs $1,800 to $5,000 and up over several days, with keepsakes, deeds and photographs set aside rather than thrown. Executors get a written scope before the first load. Downsizing and inherited-property moves work the same way — see the estate cleanout page.

  • Garage Cleanouts

    Most Lansdale garages come out as a half load at $395 or a full truck at $695 — bikes, shelving, lawn equipment, boxes nobody opened since the move. The floor gets swept before the truck pulls out, included rather than an add-on. Garage cleanouts are booked more often than any other room.

  • Basement and Attic Cleanouts

    Stairwells and pull-down hatches are where a cleanout gets slow and where people get hurt. Our crew carries workers’ compensation, so a strained back on your basement steps is not your liability. A typical basement cleanout lands between the 1/4 load at $275 and the full truck at $695, crawl space included.

  • Furniture Removal

    Name the piece and there is a flat rate: couch, sofa or love seat $150 to $220, and two mattresses together count as a 1/8 load at $150. Sectionals, recliners, dressers, desks and dining sets come out through doorways and stairwells on furniture dollies, without you lifting an end.

  • Appliance and Refrigerator Removal

    A refrigerator or chest freezer is $150 and a dishwasher $140, with sealed units routed for freon recovery rather than dropped at a landfill. Washers, dryers, water heaters, stoves and window AC units go the same way. Nothing needs disconnecting first — the crew handles the hookups on site.

  • Mattress and Box Spring Disposal

    A mattress or box spring is $150 each, and two of them together fill a 1/8 load. Bed frames and futons ride along at no extra tier. Lansdale Borough treats mattresses as a large item with limited curbside windows, which is why most people call rather than wait for a cleanup date.

  • Hot Tub and Above-Ground Pool Removal

    A hot tub gets disconnected, cut down on the deck and carried out in sections, usually inside two hours. Above-ground pools, swing sets, playsets and trampolines come apart the same afternoon. Most of these jobs price between the 1/2 load at $395 and the 3/4 load at $525, depending on deck access.

  • Hoarding Cleanouts

    These are handled quietly — unmarked approach, no comment to neighbors, and time built in to sort for documents, cash and photographs before anything is loaded. Expect multiple days and multiple truckloads. Biohazard and medical waste sit outside our certification, and we will name a licensed specialist for that portion rather than take it.

  • Storage Unit Cleanouts

    Facilities gate access to set hours, so a unit gets cleared inside one booked window. A 10x10 unit is typically a 1/2 load at $395; a 10x20 often runs the full truck at $695. Abandoned units and auction lots get sorted for anything resalable before the rest goes.

  • Yard Waste and Brush Removal

    Branches, limbs, storm debris, leaf piles and landscaping waste price from $350 to $1,500 by load count and labor hours. Green waste is separated for composting instead of riding to the transfer station. Storm work in the North Penn Valley usually books inside 48 hours, and same-day still takes the 20% off.

  • TV and Electronics Recycling

    A TV is $150 to $160, and computers, monitors and printers ride along on the same load. Electronics are routed through Montgomery County-compliant e-waste channels, because a CRT or LCD panel carries lead and mercury that a landfill will not accept. Small quantities can fold into a larger cleanout at no separate charge.

  • Piano and Exercise Equipment Removal

    An upright piano is $250 and a grand $400 to $450 — the two items most likely to be refused by a general hauler. Organs, treadmills, weight benches and pool tables come out the same way, on stair dollies with straps and a two-person carry, without gouging your floor.

Commercial Junk Removal Services for Lansdale Businesses

  • Landlord and Property Manager Turnovers

    Nobody managing 40 units wants to hand a card over in a parking lot. Property managers and landlords go on invoice terms with net billing. A unit turnover typically runs the 1/2 load at $395 to the full truck at $695, and roughly a third of our work is commercial junk removal on standing accounts.

  • Contractor and Construction Debris Removal

    C&D debris is priced by volume, not by guess: drywall scrap, framing offcuts, roofing tear-off, trim and packaging. Loads over 3 tons add $100, stated before the truck arrives. Jobsite haul-away can run between phases so a site stays workable, and a 30-yard roll-off is often cheaper across a multi-week build.

  • Office and Medical Suite Cleanouts

    Evening work is the point here — with the crew running until 8 PM Monday through Thursday, a suite gets cleared without shutting the business down for a day. Desks, cubicle partitions, filing cabinets, exam tables and waiting-room seating come out floor by floor. Most office jobs land between $695 and $1,675.

  • Realtor Pre-Sale and Foreclosure Cleanouts

    Listing photos have a date on them. A pre-listing or bank-owned property gets cleared and swept ahead of the shoot or the settlement, from $1,800 to $5,000 and up for a full house. Probate sales get the same document-first sorting as an estate job, with a written scope for the agent or trustee.

  • Restaurant and Retail Fixture Removal

    Shelving, display racks, gondolas, stainless prep tables, walk-in cooler panels and commercial kitchen equipment are heavy, sharp and awkward through a service door. Work gets scheduled around closing so the floor is clear before opening. Stainless and copper are separated out as scrap, which pulls the tier down on a mixed load.

  • Warehouse and Pallet Removal

    Ten pallets run about $200 and a 40 to 50-pallet clear-out about $3,250. Racking, conveyor sections, industrial equipment and distribution-center overflow load onto the XL truck at $899 per run. Dock access is fine, and a 40-yard container at $1,000 usually beats repeated truck trips on a full facility clear-out.

Specialty Hauling, Demolition and Dumpster Rental Services

  • Dumpster Rental — 20, 30 and 40 Yard

    A 20-yard roll-off is $500, a 30-yard $750 and a 40-yard $1,000 — the yard figure is the cubic yard capacity, so a 20-yard holds roughly six pickup loads. Containers set on protection boards so your driveway does not crack. Street placement needs a right-of-way permit, and we check your municipality first. See dumpster rental.

  • Kitchen Cabinet Removal and Interior Demolition

    Cabinet removal with wall demolition runs $750 to $1,500, and this is the work that makes the PA Home Improvement Contractor registration necessary rather than optional. Bathroom tear-outs, tile, countertops and soffits come out to the stud, sorted on site, and hauled the same visit rather than left in your driveway.

  • Concrete, Brick and Dirt Hauling

    Concrete is $750 to $900, brick runs $450 for a half truck and $700 for a full one, and dirt starts at $300. Heavy material carries an uplift over the standard tier and adds $100 above 3 tons, both stated in writing first. Patio slabs, fill dirt, sod and soil all qualify.

  • Shed, Fence and Deck Demolition

    A fence comes down for $250 to $300, posts and concrete footings included. Sheds, decks and pergolas get dismantled and hauled in the same visit, so nothing sits in the yard for a week. Lumber is separated from metal roofing and hardware before disposal, which keeps the tier lower on mixed loads.

  • Scrap Metal and Tank Removal

    Ferrous and non-ferrous metal is separated and taken to a scrap yard instead of a landfill — six radiators quoted at $450 is a real recent example. Tires are $6 each through regulated disposal. Propane and oil tanks are cut, purged and sealed before they go anywhere near the truck.

  • Carpet and Flooring Tear-Out

    Carpet tear-out adds $500 to the load price and covers roughly three rooms, including padding, tack strip and staples pulled from the subfloor. Laminate, vinyl and glued-down flooring price the same way. Booking the tear-out with the haul means one crew and one visit instead of coordinating two trades.

Truck, Dumpster or Borough Pickup: Which One You Actually Need

Sometimes the answer is not a truck. A container beats us on a slow renovation you are loading yourself, and the borough beats both of us on four items at the curb. Here is the honest comparison, including the jobs where you should not call us at all.

Full-service truck Roll-off dumpster Borough bulk pickup
Best for One-visit cleanouts, heavy or awkward items, anything you cannot lift Renovations and projects that generate debris over days or weeks A few large items already at the curb
What it costs $150 – $695 per load $500 – $1,000 for 20 to 40 yards No charge on scheduled dates
Who loads it Our crew, start to finish You, at your own pace You, to the curb
Timing Same day when a truck is free, and 20% off Sits on your driveway for the rental period Scheduled cleanup dates only
The catch Costs more than doing it yourself Street placement needs a right-of-way permit, and the lifting is yours Limited item types, fixed dates, no construction debris or heavy material

Why Lansdale Homeowners and Property Managers Call Us

The Trucks, Containers and Gear We Run

Two truck sizes cover most work: a standard box truck priced from the 1/8 load at $150 to the full truck at $695, and an XL truck at $899 for multi-room jobs. Containers come in 20, 30 and 40-yard roll-offs. Appliance dollies, stair dollies, straps and driveway protection boards are standard kit, not extras.

Licensing, Insurance and Permits

PA HIC #PA112494 appears on every estimate, invoice and truck door, and you can check it yourself at the PA Attorney General’s contractor search. A certificate of insurance is emailed before the crew arrives — just ask. Waste transport runs under PA DEP Act 90 authorization, and right-of-way permits for street container placement are handled before delivery.

What Changes the Price of a Junk Removal Job

The tier is set by how much truck space your load fills, and everything that can move it off that number is published in the same table as the prices. A disclosed fee is not a hidden fee — an undisclosed one is a refund request.

Extra Charges, Stated Up Front

Four charges exist and all four are listed: a travel fee of $25, $75 or $99 for outlying areas, $100 extra above 3 tons, a heavy-material uplift on concrete, brick and dirt, and 3% on card payments. Tipping fees at the transfer station drive the weight charge. Your travel tier is stated before you book.

Same-Day 20% and Senior 10% Discounts

Same-day pickup is 20% cheaper here, not more expensive. That is capacity, not scarcity: if a truck is free today, that space is worth more filled than empty, so you get the discount. Seniors take 10% off, always, with no promo code and no expiry date.

How We Measure a Load

Truck bed space, measured in cubic yards, split into an eighth, a quarter, a half, three quarters and full. Two mattresses equal a 1/8 load at $150. The tier written down in your driveway is the tier billed. A load that turns out bigger than quoted is our miss, not your invoice.

Planning Your Cleanout: Timing and Access

Most jobs can happen the same day or the next. What sets the schedule is truck availability, not paperwork — there is no quoting queue to sit in when the prices are already published.

How Long Each Job Takes

A single item is usually under an hour. A garage or basement is a half day. A full house or hoarding cleanout runs one to three days across several truckloads, and the written scope tells you which day each room happens.

When to Book, and the Hours We Run

Monday to Thursday the crew runs until 8 PM, Friday until 5, and Sunday 9 to 5. Saturdays we are closed — stated plainly, because an unexplained gap reads worse than a policy. Message any hour and our AI assistant answers straight away; it identifies itself as AI and books the owner’s callback.

What to Do Before We Arrive

Nothing is required, but three things speed a job up. Clear a path from the pile to the driveway. Empty any drawers and cabinets you want emptied, since the furniture goes and the contents stay unless you say otherwise. Put a sticky note on anything staying — that is the step that prevents arguments.

What We Can’t Take, and Where the Load Goes

Naming what gets turned down is more useful than claiming to take everything. Two lists follow: what stays behind, and where the rest of it actually ends up.

Paint, Propane, Asbestos and What We Turn Down

Wet paint, solvents, fuel, pesticides, asbestos, and medical or biohazard waste all sit under separate disposal rules and cannot ride in a junk truck. Paint has a workaround: harden it with cat litter or a commercial hardener, and the sealed cans go on the load. Montgomery County runs household hazardous waste collection for the rest.

Scrap Yard, Donation and Transfer Station

Every load gets sorted before it is dumped. Metal is separated to a scrap yard, tires go to regulated disposal at $6 each, and sealed appliances are routed through freon recovery. Anything usable goes to donation and you get the donation receipt for your deduction. The transfer station takes what is genuinely left.

When Lansdale Borough Pickup Is Enough

Lansdale Borough’s solid waste code treats appliances, furniture, mattresses and tires as large items, and the borough runs Spring and Fall cleanup collections for them. For a few pieces at the curb on a scheduled date, that route costs nothing and you should use it. Check lansdale.org for the current dates.

Three Questions to Ask Any Hauler Before You Book

Three questions separate a documented operation from a truck and a phone number. Ask them of us, and ask them of everyone else you call — the answers tell you more than any review page will.

Ask for the price in writing, before loading starts

A verbal estimate is not a price, it is an opening position. Ask whether the number gets written down and approved before the first item moves. Here the tier is confirmed on paper in your driveway, and saying no costs nothing — no callout fee, no charge, no follow-up.

Ask for a license number you can look up

“Licensed” on its own is a word, not a credential. Ask for the registration number and check it. Ours is PA HIC #PA112494, searchable at the PA Attorney General’s contractor search. Pennsylvania law requires that number on every ad, estimate and service vehicle.

Ask which extra charges apply, before you book

Travel fees, weight surcharges and card processing are normal in this trade. Hearing about them at the doorstep is not. Ask for the full list up front — ours sits in the same table as the prices, at the same size: $25 to $99 travel by distance, $100 above 3 tons, 3% on cards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Someone has to approve the written tier before loading starts, but it does not have to be you — a tenant, a neighbor or an agent can sign off. For a driveway or curbside pile, send photos and a gate code and the crew handles it without anyone there.

Yes. A refrigerator or freezer is $150, and sealed units are routed through freon recovery rather than crushed at a landfill. Nothing needs disconnecting or defrosting beforehand — the crew pulls the hookups on site and takes the unit out on an appliance dolly.

It depends on the job. A 20-yard container at $500 beats repeat truck trips on a multi-week renovation where you are loading it yourself. For a one-visit cleanout, a full truck at $695 includes the labor, the carry-out and the sweep-up, which a container does not.

Not on your own driveway or private property. A container placed on a public street or sidewalk needs a right-of-way permit in several municipalities around here, with fees and lead times that vary. Your municipality gets checked before delivery, so nothing shows up without clearance.

No — Saturdays are closed, and that is worth saying plainly rather than burying. The crew runs Monday to Thursday until 8 PM, Friday until 5, and Sunday 9 to 5. Our AI assistant still answers Saturday inquiries within the minute and books the owner’s callback.

Both. A single mattress or couch starts at $150, and a full house cleanout runs $1,800 to $5,000 and up across several days and truckloads. The same crew does both, and the same written estimate rule applies whether the job is one item or forty.

Licensed & Insured — PA HIC #PA112494. Look it up yourself at the PA Attorney General’s contractor search rather than taking our word for it. A certificate of insurance is emailed before the crew arrives, and waste transport runs under PA DEP Act 90 authorization.
