Residential Junk Removal Miami — Same-Day Pickup, Upfront Pricing
You’ve got two options for getting junk out of a Miami-Dade home: wait on the county’s free bulk pickup, or pay someone to show up today. Both are legitimate — they just solve different problems. This page is about the second one, but it’s worth being straight with you about the first before you spend a dime.

Residential Junk Removal Miami: What to Expect
When you need residential junk removal Miami, our licensed and insured crew delivers upfront pricing, flexible scheduling, and careful handling every time. As a trusted residential junk removal Miami provider, we serve homeowners and businesses across Miami-Dade County.
Why most Miami homeowners end up paying for junk removal anyway
If you’re on Miami-Dade County residential waste service, you already get two free bulky waste pickups a year, each up to 25 cubic yards. That’s genuinely useful — for a couch, a mattress, a dead washer. The catch shows up in three places:
- You have to schedule it in advance through 311 or the county portal — you can’t just put items at the curb.
- You only get two per year. Use both on small jobs early in the year and you’re out of free pickups if something bigger comes up in October.
- Timing is enforced. Items can’t sit at the curb more than three days before your scheduled date, and unscheduled piles count as illegal dumping, which carries fines.
So the honest answer to “should I use the county or hire someone” is: if you’re not in a hurry and this is one of your two pickups for the year, use the county — it’s free. If you need it gone today, you’ve already used your pickups, or you’ve got more than 25 cubic yards, that’s when private residential junk removal actually earns its cost.
What residential junk removal actually costs in Miami
| Job Size | What It Typically Looks Like | Price Range |
|---|---|---|
| Single item | One couch, mattress, or appliance | $65–$200 |
| 1/4 truckload | A bedroom’s worth of furniture and boxes | $150–$300 |
| 1/2 truckload | Garage cleanout, small storage unit | $250–$450 |
| Full truckload | Whole-house cleanout, hoarding situation, move-out | $395–$800+ |
Price is driven by volume and weight first, access second (stairs, long carry distances, gated communities add labor time), and item type third (appliances with Freon require certified disposal, which adds a small fee).
What we take (and what we don’t)
We take
Furniture, mattresses and box springs, appliances, electronics, yard waste, general household clutter, garage and attic contents, small construction debris from DIY projects.
We don’t take
Paint, motor oil, propane tanks, batteries, and other household chemicals — these require Miami-Dade’s Home Chemical Collection Centers, not a standard hauler. If you’ve got a mix of regular junk and hazardous items, tell us upfront; we’ll haul what we can and point you to the right drop-off for the rest.

FAQ
Should I use the county’s free bulk pickup or hire a private company?
Use the county if you’re not in a hurry and haven’t used both of your annual pickups — it’s free. Hire private removal if you need same-day service, you’re over the 25-cubic-yard limit, or you’ve already used your two pickups for the year.
How many free bulk pickups do I get from Miami-Dade County?
Two per calendar year if you’re on county residential waste service, each up to 25 cubic yards. You can combine both into one 50-cubic-yard pickup, but that uses your entire year’s allowance at once.
Can I just put my junk at the curb without scheduling anything?
No — for county bulk pickup, you must schedule through 311 or the online portal first, and items can only go out up to three days before the scheduled date. Unscheduled piles are treated as illegal dumping and can be fined.
Do you take old mattresses?
Yes. Mattresses aren’t accepted in regular curbside trash and either need a scheduled county bulk pickup or a private hauler. We recycle mattresses where a facility is available.
What if I have both regular junk and hazardous chemicals?
We’ll haul the regular items same-day. Paint, batteries, propane, and similar chemicals need to go to a Home Chemical Collection Center — we can point you to the nearest one.
Do you charge extra for stairs or long carry distances?
Access affects labor time, which factors into the quote — a fourth-floor walk-up costs more than a ground-floor driveway pickup. We’ll factor this in when you send photos or describe the job.
