Pricing

Pricing tiers and quote inputs

Six modules, one focused interface. No add-ons, no upgrade prompts, no per-feature pricing — just the tools that run your business.

Studio / 1-Bedroom

$300–$800 Charge $700–$800 when you encounter hoarding-level volume, heavy water damage, mold on surfaces, biohazard such as pet waste or rotting food, or when contents weigh significantly more than a typical studio — these conditions add 1–2 extra crew-hours and increase dump tonnage fees by 30–50%. Full contents removal from all rooms and closets Tenant-owned appliance clearing where applicable Broom-clean finish so PM can show unit immediately Before and after photo documentation for PM records

$300–$800

2-Bedroom

$500–$1,200 Hit the $1,000–$1,200 range when you find excessive debris piled in every room, heavy furniture on upper floors without elevator access, damaged contents like broken glass or soaked carpet, or when the unit requires three or more crew-hours and multiple dump runs — always quote the surcharge before starting work. Full apartment clearing including all rooms, closets, and storage areas Heavy item removal — couches, mattresses, dressers, box springs Typically 1–2 full truck loads at 3–4 cubic yards each Broom-clean finish with debris-free floors and counters

$500–$1,200

3-Bedroom+ / House

$1,000–$3,000+ Price above $2,500 for hoarding-level homes where contents reach ceiling height in multiple rooms, biohazard situations involving animal hoarding or human waste, multi-level properties with no elevator, or homes with attached structures like workshops or finished basements packed floor to ceiling — these jobs can consume 6–8 crew-hours and $200+ in dump fees alone. Full property clearing including all living spaces, bathrooms, and kitchen Garage, shed, yard, and porch clearing if applicable Typically 2–3 full truck loads, sometimes 4 for heavily packed homes Broom-clean all rooms and sweep garage slab

$1,000–$3,000+

Commercial Unit / Office

$800–$2,500+ Exceed $2,000 for large retail spaces or warehouses with heavy commercial equipment, multi-room office suites with built-in cabinetry, or any space requiring dumpster staging and multiple days of clearing — commercial evictions also carry higher insurance exposure so verify your GL covers commercial property. Full commercial space clearing of furniture, equipment, and inventory Cubicle tear-down and removal if present Large-item handling — desks, filing cabinets, commercial shelving Broom-clean for landlord walkthrough

$800–$2,500+

Quote checklist

Property managers value speed and predictability above all else. Build a rate card by unit size, add surcharges for condition severity, and quote in under 60 seconds. PMs who manage 50+ doors do not have time for custom estimates on every unit.

Six modules, one focused interface. No add-ons, no upgrade prompts, no per-feature pricing — just the tools that run your business.

Unit type and size

Studio, 1BR, 2BR, 3BR+, or commercial — flat rate by unit size is preferred by PMs because it simplifies budgeting and lets them approve work without a site visit.

Eviction legally complete?

Confirm the eviction process is fully finalized and the PM has legal possession. State laws on abandoned tenant property vary — some states require 15–30 day holding periods before disposal is permitted.

Condition severity

Standard abandoned contents or severe — damage to walls and floors, hoarding with stacked debris, biohazard like animal waste or needles. Severe warrants a 50–100% surcharge. Ask the PM for photos before dispatching.

Appliances and fixtures

Always confirm which appliances belong to the property — fridge, stove, dishwasher, washer/dryer hookups. Only remove tenant-owned items. Accidentally hauling a landlord's $900 refrigerator wipes your margin on the job.

Turnaround deadline

PMs lose $30–$65 per day in vacancy cost. Same-day service commands a $100–$200 premium they will pay without hesitation. Ask upfront: when do you need this done by?

Access and logistics

Floor level, elevator availability, parking for your truck, gated community access codes, and lockbox or key handoff. Upper-floor units without elevators add 20–30 minutes of carry time — factor that into your quote.

Equipment

Required gear and safety

Six modules, one focused interface. No add-ons, no upgrade prompts, no per-feature pricing — just the tools that run your business.

Required

Hand trucks and furniture dollies Heavy-duty contractor trash bags (3-mil) Broom, dustpan, and basic cleaning supplies Appliance straps and moving blankets Pry bar and basic tool kit

PPE

N95 respirators for all crew on severe condition units — dust, mold spores, and animal dander are guaranteed Cut-resistant gloves (Level A4 minimum) — broken glass, nails, and sharp debris are common in eviction contents Steel-toe boots with puncture-resistant soles — eviction floors often have exposed nails, screws, and broken items Safety glasses or goggles for overhead clearing and dusty environments Disposable shoe covers for PMs who want you to protect freshly cleaned hallway carpet in multi-unit buildings

Profitability

Margin notes

Eviction cleanouts are the most reliable recurring revenue stream in junk removal. They are recession-resistant — eviction volume actually increases during economic downturns. One PM relationship that trusts your speed and consistency generates $5,000–$20,000+ annually with zero paid marketing. Build five PM accounts and you have $25,000–$100,000 in baseline annual revenue before you spend a dollar on Google Ads.

Standard eviction cleanouts yield 55–65% gross margins

Standard eviction cleanouts yield 55–65% gross margins — a $750 two-bedroom job costs roughly $260–$340 in labor ($18–$25/hr × 2 crew × 3 hours), $55–$80 in dump fees, and $35–$50 in fuel and truck wear, leaving $280–$400 in gross profit.

Profitability

One property management company with 50–100 doors generates 10–25 eviction cleanouts per year at $500–$1,200 each

One property management company with 50–100 doors generates 10–25 eviction cleanouts per year at $500–$1,200 each — that is $5,000–$20,000+ in annual recurring revenue from a single relationship with zero marketing spend after the first job.

Profitability

Same-day and next-day premiums of $100–$200 per job add pure margin because your fixed costs (labor, fuel, dump fees) remain identical

Same-day and next-day premiums of $100–$200 per job add pure margin because your fixed costs (labor, fuel, dump fees) remain identical — PMs pay the premium gladly because every vacant day costs them $30–$65 in lost rent.

Profitability

Rate card pricing eliminates per-job quoting overhead entirely

Rate card pricing eliminates per-job quoting overhead entirely — PM calls, references the unit size, you dispatch the crew and invoice the flat rate. This saves 15–20 minutes per job in estimating time and reduces accounts-receivable disputes by 80%.

Profitability

Donation and scrap diversion offset 20–35% of dump fees per job

Donation and scrap diversion offset 20–35% of dump fees per job — a crew that routinely separates metals and donatable furniture saves $1,200–$2,500 per year in disposal costs across a typical 40–60 eviction cleanout volume.

Profitability

The biggest margin leak is not charging urgency premiums

The biggest margin leak is not charging urgency premiums. If a PM calls at 8 AM needing a unit cleared by 3 PM, that is same-day service worth $100–$200 extra. One operator in Dallas told us he left $8,400 on the table in a single year by not charging same-day premiums across 42 rush jobs. The second leak is eating callback trips — if your crew misses a closet or leaves debris behind a door, you are sending a truck back for free. A thorough final walkthrough takes 5 minutes and eliminates $75–$150 callback costs.

A practical sequence for turning this resource into an operating decision.

01OperatorStep 01 / 06

Verify legal authorization

Confirm with the PM or landlord that the eviction process is legally complete and they have lawful possession. Request a signed work authorization form. In most states, this means the constable or sheriff has already executed the writ of possession. Never take verbal-only authorization — written protects you if the tenant disputes.

Questions this resource should answer.

Honest answers. If your question isn't here, ask us directly.

Most eviction cleanouts cost $300–$1,200 depending on unit size and condition. Studios and one-bedrooms run $300–$800, two-bedrooms cost $500–$1,200, and three-bedroom homes or larger properties range from $1,000 to $3,000 or more. Severe conditions like hoarding or biohazard add a 50–100% surcharge. Same-day service adds $100–$200. Property managers typically receive flat rate card pricing by unit type.

A standard eviction cleanout takes 2–5 hours on-site with a two or three person crew. Studios and one-bedrooms average 2–3 hours. Two-bedrooms run 3–4 hours. Three-bedroom homes and larger properties may take 4–6 hours depending on volume and access logistics like stairs and elevator availability. Same-day completion is standard for units up to two bedrooms.

No. You cannot legally remove tenant property until the eviction process is fully complete and the landlord or property manager has lawful possession. In most states this means a sheriff or constable has executed the writ of possession. Some states also require a 15–30 day holding period for abandoned property before disposal. Always get written authorization from the PM confirming legal completion before you start work.

Visit property management offices with a printed rate card and a copy of your Certificate of Insurance. Offer to clear their next unit at your standard rate with same-day availability. Most PMs have a unit sitting full right now. After your first job, provide before/after photos same-day and follow up asking about additional units. One successful job with fast turnaround and clean documentation typically secures the relationship for years.

General liability insurance for junk removal operators runs $1,200–$2,400 per year for a $1M/$2M policy depending on your annual revenue and crew size. Workers compensation adds $0.08–$0.14 per dollar of payroll. Many property managers require proof of insurance and additional insured status before adding you to their vendor list. Budget $2,500–$4,500 total annually for GL plus workers comp for a two to three truck operation.
