Under South Mountain (85040, 85041, 85042) — where the lots are big and the pile is usually outside, not inside.

Upload a Photo & Get Quote →Stand back far enough to get the whole thing in frame — the yard, the fence stack, the back of the lot. You get an exact flat price back in seconds, in English or Spanish.
Same-day is usually open. After a monsoon night we run extra crews, so a fence-and-limb cleanup doesn't have to wait a week for a slot.
Truck through the gate or up the alley, insured crew carrying from wherever it sits. Green waste goes as organics, metal to scrap, usable furniture to donation.
The right price depends on the shape of the load, and out here the load is usually outdoors. Loose yard and property debris prices by volume; single heavy or awkward items price as themselves; a whole property clear prices as truck-fill. All of it is quoted flat from a photo before anyone drives out.

$75 minimum · mínimo $75. Most South Phoenix jobs are a mix — a fence stack, an old mower, two tires and a couch — so send one photo of the whole lot and we price it as one number instead of five. Loading and disposal included. No Arizona sales tax on the service — sin impuesto sobre el servicio.
For context, independent cost surveys put a typical Phoenix-metro junk-removal job at roughly $226–$237. Our number is fixed from your photo before we roll, and on a big lot that matters more than the average does: nobody is walking your property with a clipboard and revising the price upward once they see how far the pile is from the gate.
| Option | Cost | Speed | The catch |
|---|---|---|---|
| City of Phoenix bulk appointment | Free | Up to 3 business days | 4 collections per calendar year, total — and you drag every branch, panel and mattress from the back of the lot out to the curb yourself |
| Donation pickup or drop-off | Free | Days | Goodwill of Central & Northern AZ, St. Vincent de Paul and Salvation Army take clean, usable furniture — they don't take yard debris, fencing, tires or a dead mower |
| Self-haul | $55/ton trash · $32–$37/ton clean green organics (2026 City of Phoenix rates, 27th Avenue Transfer Station) | Multiple trips | Your truck, your loading, your fuel — and the SR-85 Landfill isn't open to the public, so the transfer station is the only route |
| Traditional full-service hauler | On-site estimate | 1–3 days | An estimator has to walk your lot before you learn a price, and the number is set in your driveway |
| JunkRabbit | $119/cu yd yard debris · truck-fill $325–$985 | Same day | None — flat photo price, we load the whole lot, en español si prefiere |
South Phoenix is inside the City of Phoenix, so the city program applies to you directly — and it's the single best argument for why an on-demand haul exists at all out here.
Phoenix's bulk service, officially "uncontained trash," is appointment-based. The limits are firm: a maximum of four collections per calendar year, booked up to three business days out, with material set out no more than seven days ahead. It's free, and for a household throwing out one broken chair a season it's a fine deal. Scheduling and details come from Phoenix Public Works at phoenix.gov.
En español: la Ciudad de Phoenix recoge la basura grande solo por cita — un máximo de 4 recolecciones al año, se agenda hasta 3 días hábiles antes, y no puede sacar las cosas más de 7 días antes de la cita. Es gratis, pero usted tiene que arrastrarlo todo hasta la calle. Consulte phoenix.gov (Public Works) para agendar.
Now put that against a South Phoenix lot. These are big properties — the pile isn't three feet from the curb, it's at the back of a deep lot behind the shed, and it's fence panels, tree limbs, palm fronds, pallets, tires and a mower that hasn't started since 2019. Four appointments a year is the entire argument. One monsoon night can generate more debris than a single collection would take, and you'd still be carrying every piece of it, by hand, the length of your own property, out to the street — where it then has to sit for up to a week. That's not a plan for a working household. We drive the truck to the pile instead.
A South Phoenix load is rarely one material, so it doesn't get tipped as one. Clean green waste is routed as organics — the City of Phoenix transfer stations take clean green material at $32–$37 a ton against $55 a ton for trash (2026 city rates), so keeping your limbs and fronds out of the mixed pile is genuinely better disposal, not marketing. Metal and tires are handled separately: fence panels, posts, appliance shells, mower decks and scrap go to a scrapper rather than a landfill, and tires are a specifically restricted material that most drop-offs will refuse or surcharge, which is exactly why they end up behind so many sheds around here. Usable furniture goes to donation first — Goodwill of Central & Northern Arizona, St. Vincent de Paul and the Salvation Army all have a large Phoenix presence — with a receipt back to you on request. And refrigerators, freezers and AC units get EPA-certified freon recovery before disposal, which is legally required and included in your price.
What actually makes a South Phoenix job different from one in a dense West Valley neighborhood is distance. On a deep lot, the pile can sit a hundred feet or more from anywhere a truck can park, and a hauler who priced the job from a photo of the pile alone tends to discover that on arrival. We don't — we ask how to get in when you book, and we plan the carry.
Usually there's a way to shorten it. Plenty of these blocks have alley access behind the property, and most lots have a side or back gate wide enough for a truck or at least a shorter run with a dolly. Tell us which one is open, whether the ground is soft or graded, and whether there's a dog in the yard, and we'll bring the truck to the closest workable point rather than making you move anything to the front. If the ground won't take a loaded truck, we carry it — either way the price you were quoted doesn't change.
The houses themselves are straightforward: single-level slab ranch homes and newer infill, no basements, no stairs. Everything indoors comes out at ground level. And from June through September we start early — an open lot under South Mountain has almost no shade, and loading fence panels and limbs in a 110°+ afternoon isn't something we ask a crew to do.
"Equipo en español, sacaron el refrigerador y muebles viejos el mismo día. Precio fijo, sin sorpresas y sin impuesto. Muy recomendable."
"Cleared the garage in the new build — hauled from the garage, HOA-safe, flat truck-fill price, no tax line."
"Rental turnover — they hauled everything left behind and swept it clean, same-day. Reliable."
How much does junk removal cost in South Phoenix?
Yard and property debris $119 a cubic yard; a large loose pile $280. Single items flat: sofa $170, refrigerator $221, washer $179, set of tires $117, lawn mower $88. Whole-property jobs as truck-fill: 1/4 $325, 1/2 $580, 3/4 $790, full $985. $75 minimum, loading and disposal included, no Arizona sales tax.
Do you clear whole yards and properties?
Yes — limbs, fronds, fencing, shed rubble, pallets, tires, mowers and the pile behind the back gate, priced by volume or as truck-fill, whichever is cheaper for what you have.
Will the city pick it up instead?
Only four times a calendar year, by appointment booked up to three business days out, with items set out no more than seven days ahead — and you drag it all from the back of the lot to the curb yourself.
Can you clean up after a monsoon?
Yes, and July through mid-September it's one of our most common calls. Downed trees, fronds, fence panels and roof material, priced from photos, green waste routed as organics.
¿Hablan español?
Sí — la cotización, la cita, el equipo y el recibo, todo en español si usted prefiere.
Do you take tires, mowers and appliances?
Tires $117 a set, mower $88, refrigerator $221, washer $179 — all things transfer stations and charities routinely refuse or surcharge. Freon is recovered properly and metal is scrapped.
Can you come today?
Usually. June–September we run early-morning windows, because there's no shade on an open lot and afternoon loading isn't safe for a crew.
How is this different from a traditional full-service hauler?
They send an estimator to walk your lot and set the price on the spot. We fix the number from a photo before dispatch and hold it — including the carry from the back of the property. Metro-wide surveys put a typical job around $226–$237 for reference.
Yes — on these lots that is most of what we do. Downed limbs and palm fronds, torn-out fencing, a collapsed shed, old pallets and lumber, tires, mowers and small engines, broken patio sets, and the pile behind the back gate that has been growing for years. It prices by the cubic yard, as a loose pile, or as truck-fill, whichever is cheaper for what you actually have.
Yes, but on tight terms. South Phoenix is inside the City of Phoenix, so the city's uncontained-trash program applies: it is appointment-based, capped at a maximum of 4 collections per calendar year, booked up to 3 business days out, and items may not be set out more than 7 days ahead. It is free, but you drag everything to the street yourself. On a big lot with a real yard-debris pile, four appointments a year is not a plan. Details are published by Phoenix Public Works at phoenix.gov.
Yes, and it is one of our busiest calls from July through mid-September. Haboobs and microbursts take down trees, strip palm fronds, flatten fence panels and peel roofing across South Phoenix, and it lands on lots big enough that the pile is genuinely large. We price storm debris by the cubic yard or as truck-fill from photos, and clean green material is routed as organics rather than dumped as mixed trash.
Usually yes. From June through September we run early-morning windows — on an open lot under South Mountain with no shade, afternoon loading in 110-degree heat is not safe for a crew, and an early start is better for you too.
