For a full estate cleanout of a upper-middle-class home, the cost can climb quickly—especially when using a volume-based service like 1-800-GOT-JUNK. A single full truckload can cost up to $1,000, and a home of this size typically requires 6 to 8+ full truckloads to clear out all furniture, personal items, and debris. That means you could be looking at a total bill of $6,000 to $8,000 or more.
Other factors can significantly increase the final price. If the home is located in an urban area, expect higher labor costs and potential surcharges—often adding $200–$500. Difficult access, such as stairs, elevators, long driveways, or narrow city streets, may tack on another $100–$300 in labor fees. Jobs outside the metro area may incur fuel or distance surcharges of $75–$150 per visit.
On a per-square-foot basis, 1-800-GOT-JUNK may range from $1 to $3, but estate cleanouts involving heavy items, packed storage spaces, or hazardous materials tend to hit the higher end. At $3 per square foot, a 3,500 sq ft cleanout can cost $10,500.
| Scenario | Estimated Cost |
|---|---|
| Single full truckload (1-800-GOT-JUNK) | Up to $1,000 |
| Typical 3,000 sq ft home | $6,000 – $10,000+ |
| Per square foot estimate (high end) | Up to $10,500 |
| Urban/remote location surcharges | $75 – $500 |
| Stairs, elevators, long walkways | $100 – $300 |
Every home is different, but upper-end pricing helps you plan for worst-case scenarios. Estate cleanouts are often emotional and time-sensitive—knowing the full cost up front can help you make the right decision.

With 1-800-GOT-JUNK, anything they pick up is treated as waste and sent to a landfill or recycling facility. That means potentially valuable items—furniture, antiques, collectibles—are often discarded without a second thought. Or, they just keep all the money off of anything they can sell for themselves.
At Northeast Estate Cleanouts, we take a different approach than 1-800-GOT-JUNK. Whenever possible, we identify items that may have resale value and work to sell them through our network of buyers and resale channels.
As an added benefit, we offer you a 10% cash-back option on anything we successfully sell. This means you not only save on disposal fees but can also recover part of your cleanout costs while knowing your items are being reused rather than wasted. And, it brings down the average cost of your cleanout.
Choosing a service that looks for value in your unwanted items can make a significant difference—not just for the environment, but for your wallet.
One of the biggest drivers of cost is the volume of items being removed. Most companies—1-800-GOT-JUNK included—charge based on how much space your items occupy in their truck. For example, a quarter truckload may cost around $300, while a full truckload will run $700–$800+. Heavier loads may add $50–$100 or more depending on local disposal fees.
Location plays a major role as well. In urban areas, rates can be up to 15–25% higher with 1-800-GOT-JUNK due to labor and traffic challenges. For rural pickups, some companies tack on $30–$75 in fuel surcharges. Accessibility also impacts the price—extra labor for stairs, elevators, or long walks can add $50–$150 depending on the effort required.
Finally, the type of material you're discarding affects the rate. Special handling fees may apply: mattresses often carry a $30–$60 surcharge, TVs and electronics $15–$50, and construction debris can increase the total cost by 20–40% due to weight and landfill restrictions.
