Jackson's metro is spread across three counties, and crews price by the trip as much as by the load: a pickup in Madison or Brandon costs the same as one in Fondren, but the far corners of Rankin and Hinds can carry a small trip charge on a single-item job.
Every crew in Jackson prices the same way, by how much of the truck you fill, so the ranges below are what to expect from any legitimate operator. The quote itself comes from a photo or a walk-through, and the number quoted is the number charged.
By the load
Labour, hauling and landfill fees are inside the price. Heavy material is the exception and goes by weight.
| Load | Typical price | What fits |
| Minimum / single item | $99–$175 | one mattress, one couch, one appliance |
| 1/4 truck | $225–$325 | a bedroom set, a garage corner |
| 1/2 truck | $375–$500 | a small apartment, a garage |
| 3/4 truck | $525–$650 | most estate cleanouts, one room at a time |
| Full truck | $625–$800 | a whole house floor, a big renovation pile |
Roll-off dumpsters in Jackson
For a remodel or a week-long cleanout, a dumpster beats repeated truck visits. The quote includes delivery, pickup, the rental days and a tonnage allowance.
| Size | Typical price per week | Best for |
| 10-yard | $325–$450 | garage, bathroom, small roof |
| 15-yard | $400–$525 | kitchen remodel, two-bedroom cleanout |
| 20-yard | $450–$600 | whole house, large roof, big landscaping job |
Single-item pickups
The smallest jobs, and the ones most often done the same day.
| Item | Typical price |
| Mattress and box spring | $100–$175 |
| Couch or sectional | $125–$250 |
| Refrigerator or freezer | $125–$200 |
| Washer, dryer or water heater | $100–$175 |
| Hot tub (cut up and hauled) | $350–$650 |
| Piano | $250–$500 |
| Shed (taken down and hauled) | $400–$900 |
Why two quotes for the same pile can differ
- Access: a basement or a third floor takes longer than a driveway.
- Weight: a pile of tile costs more than the same pile of cardboard.
- Timing: same-day and weekend pickups cost more.
- Disposal: donated or recycled loads can cost less than landfill loads.
- Franchise overhead: national brands price in a call centre and a royalty; local crews do not.
Questions we get about this
What is the cheapest way to get rid of junk in Jackson?
One item, left in the driveway or garage so the crew does not need you home, on a weekday. Bundling several items into one pickup is cheaper than several small pickups; a full truck costs less per item than a quarter truck.
Do you charge to give a quote?
No. A photo gets a firm number back, usually within the hour; an on-site look is free too.
Is it cheaper to rent a dumpster or call the truck?
For anything that fits in one visit, the truck, because you do no loading. For a job that runs a week or more, the dumpster.
Does the city of Jackson take bulky items for free?
Jackson's curbside collection has had well-known troubles in recent years and bulky items are not something to count on; the city's page, linked under Local resources on our home page, has the current schedule. Madison, Ridgeland, Flowood and Brandon each run their own programs. What the curb will not take, or cannot take soon, is what we haul.
