From free to fastest, here is every option in the Jackson metro and what each one really costs.
Free
Curbside collection for what your city's contract takes, on its schedule; donation pickups for furniture in good condition; a free-stuff post for anything someone will carry away themselves.
Cheap for a week-long mess: a dumpster
A 10-yard roll-off in the driveway runs about $325 to $450 for the week and you load it yourself. Cheaper than two truck loads, dearer than one.
Cheapest for one visit: a junk crew
A single item is $99 to $175; a quarter truck $225 to $325; a full truck $625 to $800, labor and dump fees included. Leave it in the garage so nobody waits at home, bundle items into one pickup, and skip the same-day premium if it can wait a day.
