Referral website, not the contractor. How it works

Most junk removal jobs cost about $150 to $500, and the 2026 national average is about $250 a job, according to HireAHelper.

Conroe Junk Pros is a referral website, not a junk removal company. We send your request to one independent local junk removal company. You never pay us; companies we refer you to may pay us for referrals.

A small pickup can start around $75, and a full truckload can reach $800 or more, so your quote depends mostly on volume. These are national ranges from published cost guides, checked in October 2026, not prices from a Conroe company. Pricing and scheduling come from the company we send your request to. To get its price, send a request with the form.

Junk removal prices by load size

Most haulers price by the fraction of the truck your junk fills. Two national guides publish load-size ranges:

Load size	Rough volume	This Old House (2026)	Fixr (2025)
1/8 truck	2 to 3 cubic yards	$75 to $125	$75 to $125
1/4 truck	3 to 4.5 cubic yards	$125 to $200	$125 to $175
1/2 truck	4.5 to 11 cubic yards	$200 to $400	$175 to $375
3/4 truck	11 to 13 cubic yards	$400 to $600	$375 to $450
Full truck	13 to 17 cubic yards	$600 to $800	$450 to $650

Volumes come from This Old House. Fixr measures in cubic feet (60 to 80 for an eighth, up to 350 to 475 for a full load), which works out close to the same sizes. Truck beds aren't standard, so one company's "half load" can be another's "third." Ask how big the truck is.

Size your own pile in two minutes

Push the junk into one rough pile, or picture it that way.
Measure length, width and height in feet.
Multiply the three numbers and divide by 27. That's cubic yards.
Find the row in the table above.

Example: a pile 8 feet long, 5 feet wide and 4 feet high is 160 cubic feet, or about 6 cubic yards. That lands in the half-truck row. Bulky furniture takes more room on a truck than it looks, because it doesn't stack tight, so round up.

Single-item prices

If you have only one or two things, many companies charge a flat item price or their minimum load. National figures:

Item	Typical national range	Source	More detail
Mattress or box spring	$70 to $100	HireAHelper	Furniture and mattress removal
Mattress	$75 to $150	This Old House	Furniture and mattress removal
Couch or sectional	$300 to $375	HireAHelper	Furniture and mattress removal
Bulky furniture	$80 to $400	This Old House	Furniture and mattress removal
One appliance (fridge, washer)	$109 to $244 average; $65 low, $570 high	Thumbtack	Appliance removal
One appliance	$77.79 to $259	Homewyse (May 2026)	Appliance removal
Hot tub	$250 to $400 average	Fixr	Hot tub removal
Upright piano	$100 to $250	HireAHelper
Carpet	$75 to $300	This Old House	Estate cleanouts
Building materials	$100 to $800	This Old House	Construction debris removal
Tires	$60 to $90 minimum	Fixr	Disposal guide

The guides don't always agree, because each uses different data. Treat them as a check on a quote, not a price list.

How we got these numbers

Sources. Hauling prices come from This Old House, Fixr, HireAHelper, Thumbtack and Homewyse, named in each table. County drop-off fees come from the Montgomery County Precinct 3 fee schedule. Links are in the Sources list at the end of this page.
Date checked. We opened every source in October 2026. Where a guide shows its own update date, it's in the source list. Fixr's pages were last updated in January 2025, so they're the oldest figures here.
National, not local. None of these are Conroe prices, and none come from the company we refer you to.
Why your quote may differ. Truck size, labor time, the weight of the load, stairs and carry distance, and what the hauler pays to dump all change the final number.

What moves the price of junk removal

Volume. The biggest factor. Half a truck costs roughly half of a full one, but the minimum charge means a single small item still costs something.

Weight. Concrete, roofing, dirt, tile and wet carpet are heavy for their size. Some haulers add a surcharge or limit how much of a truck they'll fill with dense material.

Labor and access. Items in a backyard, an attic, a second floor or a tight hallway take longer. A pile already at the curb or in the driveway is the cheapest to load.

Special items. HireAHelper lists refrigerant appliances, tires and paint among items that can carry extra disposal fees, along with very heavy items like concrete and bulky ones like pianos.

Disassembly. Hot tubs, swing sets, sheds and sectionals may need to be cut or taken apart first.

Timing. HireAHelper says expedited pickup may add 10% to 25% to a quote. If you can wait a few days, ask whether a later slot costs less.

Donations and recycling. Items that can be donated or recycled sometimes cost less to deal with than landfill loads. Ask the company how it handles them.

Doing it yourself: Montgomery County drop-off fees

If you have a truck or trailer, the Montgomery County Precinct 3 Residential Recycling Facility at 1122 Pruitt Road in Spring is the county's main public drop-off. It's for Montgomery County residents only, with proof of residency. Hours are Monday through Saturday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., closed 11:30 to 12:30 for lunch and on county holidays. Fees from its schedule effective October 1, 2025:

What you bring	County fee
Pickup truck load (filled to the sides of the bed)	$30
6-foot trailer, up to 4 feet high	$50
12-foot trailer, up to 4 feet high	$120
20-foot trailer, up to 4 feet high	$200
Furniture or appliance, per piece	$10 to $50
Twin mattress or box spring	$10 each
Full, queen or king mattress or box spring	$20 each
Passenger tire, off the rim / on the rim	$10 / $20 each
TV or monitor	$10 each
Branches, shrubs and plants	$20 per truckload
Paint and household chemicals (Wednesdays and 3rd Saturday only)	$10 per 5 gallons
Minimum fee for anything not listed	$10

Is self-hauling cheaper? On fees alone, usually: $30 for a pickup load at the county, against a $75 to $125 minimum at most haulers in the national guides. The trade-off is the truck, the lifting, the drive to Spring and back, and the facility's limits. It takes bricks, concrete, shingles and tile only in small amounts, about a wheelbarrow's worth, in containers. It doesn't take household garbage, dirt, mirrors or windows, propane tanks, or business waste. The full list is in the disposal guide.

Is there free junk removal in Conroe?

Free options exist, but each has limits:

City bulk pickup. Conroe residents get one scheduled bulk pickup a month through Frontier Waste Solutions, included in city trash service. The city's rules exclude construction debris, TVs, computers and hazardous waste, and you have to get the items to the curb.
Donation pickup. The Habitat for Humanity Montgomery County ReStore offers free standard pickup of large donations, usually scheduled one to two weeks out. Items need to be in good enough shape to resell.
Curb giveaways. Usable items listed for free often go fast. Check your HOA's rules on leaving things at the curb.

Paid haulers fill the gap when you need it gone now, can't move it, or have things the city won't take.

What's included in a cheap junk removal price

A low advertised price, like "starting at $99," usually covers a minimum load: about an eighth of a truck. Before you book, ask:

Is the price for volume or for items? A couch alone may already fill a minimum load.
Are disposal fees included? HireAHelper notes most haulers fold landfill fees into the quote, but some list them separately.
What costs extra? Mattresses, tires, refrigerant appliances, stairs and heavy debris are common add-ons.
What if there's more? Ask how the price changes on site, and agree to the final number before loading starts.

How do big franchise prices compare?

National franchises and local independents each set their own rates. Treat any online price as an estimate until a crew sees the pile. Get a written price from each company you're considering and compare it with the tables above. The junk removal FAQ has more on comparing companies.

How to get an accurate quote

You'll get a closer price if you tell the company:

What's going: an item list or which rooms
Your rough volume, using the measuring method above
Where it sits: curb, garage, backyard, upstairs
Heavy or special items: appliances, a piano, a hot tub, concrete, tires
