Priced the way Junk Hauling work is billed
A single-item pickup and a appliance haul don't get quoted the same way, so why would every trade? SideWRK prices Junk Hauling the way the work is really billed: by the load — eighth, quarter, half, full — at about $650 a full load (roughly a third goes to dump fees). Tap the work, put in the numbers, and the line prices itself — no napkin math, no undercharging a job because you rushed the quote.
What moves a Junk Hauling price
Two Junk Hauling jobs that look the same on paper can be a hundred dollars apart once you're on site. Here's what actually changes the number — the things to size up before you quote:
- Load size — you bill by the fraction of the truck, so estimate the volume honestly before you load it.
- Dump fees — roughly a third of a full load goes to the transfer station; that's a pass-through, not profit.
- Heavy or special items — concrete, tires, appliances, and mattresses carry their own disposal fees.
What a Junk Hauling job puts on the record
Every trade documents something different, and Junk Hauling is no exception. SideWRK captures the load size — quarter, half, three-quarter, or full truck and the rest of what your work needs on the record — the details that protect you and make the invoice stand up:
- the load size — quarter, half, three-quarter, or full truck
- the disposal-site record as proof of proper disposal
- hazmat, e-waste, and refrigerant-appliance exclusions plus an illegal-dumping note
Example note on a job: "No hazardous materials accepted — customer confirmed none included."
How to price a Junk Hauling job in SideWRK
- 1
Start the job and add your work
Open a Junk Hauling job and tap a suggestion like "Single-item pickup" or "Garage cleanout" — the common work is already loaded, so you tap instead of type.

Staying on the right side of the rules
SideWRK documents your Junk Hauling work — it doesn't make you licensed, and it says so plainly. What to know: taking loads only to a licensed transfer station or landfill (illegal dumping is a crime), a waste-hauler permit in some areas, and certified handling for anything hazardous. The app flags the permit and license triggers so they never surprise you mid-job.
