5 Factors That Dictate Your Junk Removal Quote in Pulaski County
Junk removal costs depend on five operational factors:
1. Volume (The Space Your Items Occupy)
Our pricing relies primarily on volume. You pay only for the fraction of our 20–22 cubic yard truck you fill. Because our beds are larger than standard franchise vehicles, a half-load with Big Rock Junk Removal holds what often requires two-thirds to three-quarters of a truck with national competitors.
2. Weight and Dense Material Surcharges
Standard household goods, furniture, electronics, and yard clippings fall under our standard volume rates. However, extremely dense renovation debris pushes truck weight limits quickly and costs more at local disposal facilities.
- Remodeling debris like sheetrock/drywall, framing lumber, masonry, tile, concrete, or rock piles carries an extra surcharge of $50 to $100 per truckload to offset commercial scale fees.
3. Physical Access & Stairs
Our team handles all lifting and carrying from anywhere on your property. Standard jobs with flat driveways, garages, ground-floor rooms, or curbside piles have no extra access fees.
- Stairs Fee: $25 per flight of stairs for interior second-story or attic carries, as well as walk-up multi-story apartment complexes.
- For multi-story condos in the downtown River Market or high-density complexes, we provide tailored upfront estimates based on freight elevator access and designated loading zones.
4. Extra Bagging & Loose Labor
Every full truckload rate includes up to 2 hours of loading labor by a two-person crew. If your items are already piled, boxed, or easily stackable, labor is completely covered.
- If a property requires extensive sorting, trash pick-up, or packing of scattered loose debris (e.g., severe hoarder cleanouts or neglected rental units), we charge $50 per half-hour of extra sorting and bagging labor.
5. Hazardous Material Exclusions
Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality regulations prohibit commercial junk haulers from transporting toxic or hazardous waste to general municipal landfills.
- We DO NOT accept: Wet paint, motor oil, gasoline, antifreeze, commercial pesticides/fertilizers, sealed biological waste, fluorescent light tubes, or pressurized tanks.
- Tip for Little Rock residents: Take household hazardous waste items to the Little Rock Green Station or Pulaski County Regional Solid Waste Management collection events for safe, free disposal.
