SideWRK is a cheap invoicing app for junk haulers who work on the side.
One place for the customer, the job site, the estimate and the invoice — and what the load actually made you once costs come out.
SideWRK starts every junk hauler at these prices and does this math on every job you write up. Change any number.
What a Junk Hauling job looks like in SideWRK.
The junk hauling job as the app lays it out — your own cost sitting on it, and the estimate your customer approves from their phone.
Built for the pile, the truck, and the dump run
Quoted by the load, never the hour
There's no hours box on a junk hauling line. The quantity field reads Loads, the rate field reads Rate ($/full load), and ⅛, ¼, ½ and Full sit underneath as buttons. Tap the fractions you're looking at and the total lands under the form before you send anything. A new account opens at $650 a full load — change it once and it's yours.
Every pickup is a saved address
A junk hauling job doesn't get a make and model. It gets a pickup label, the address you actually pull up to, and the load size you eyeballed — quarter, half, three-quarter, full, or multiple loads. Notes ask the four things that change the number: what's going, stairs, heavy items, any hazmat. It saves under the customer. The second cleanout at that address opens half-filled.
Disposal site on the record
Liability follows the waste, and hazardous items can't ride a standard haul. SideWRK records your disposal site per job — your proof of proper disposal. The rules surfaced, never legal advice.
Your hauler permit, on every ticket
Pick junk hauling and the license box in Shop asks for a business or hauler permit number instead of a contractor license. It's optional. The app never checks it — it prints whatever you put there on every estimate and invoice, so the number rides on the paper the customer keeps.

What should a junk hauler charge?
Junk removal is priced by how much of the truck you fill, plus surcharges for heavy or special items. A full load defaults to $650 in SideWRK, a garage cleanout to $375, and a single-item pickup to $100. Here's how it's priced, plus a free junk removal calculator to price it.
By load volume
Pricing is by the fraction of the truck filled — an eighth, a quarter, a half, a full load — each a set price the customer can picture. The app defaults a full load to $650, a garage cleanout to $375, and a single-item pickup to $100.
Item type surcharges
Appliances, mattresses, tires, e-waste, and heavy construction debris carry extra fees because of disposal rules and weight. An appliance haul defaults to $150 and construction debris to $500.
Dump fees, labor, access
Landfill and recycling fees, the labor to carry it out, and stairs or tight access all factor into the number. SideWRK assumes about 30% of a hauling ticket goes straight back out in dump and transfer fees, so the profit it shows you is what is left after the scale house.

Eyeball the load, tap the fraction, and quote it before you drop the trailer gate.
The junk hauling rate behind SideWRK's estimating defaults is $650/full load, with 70% of a typical ticket paying for time rather than materials. Both numbers come from our 2026 Side-Work Rate Report, which publishes the same figures for all 42 trades.
