Need it gone today? When a slot's open, we pick up same-day — at the exact same flat prices as any other day, from a $75 minimum. There is no rush tier in our price list, so there's nothing to add for the rush. Send a photo, get the number in seconds, take the soonest window. No sales tax on the service.
Snap a photo — flat price and the earliest slot back
Upload a Photo & Get Quote →A lot of companies charge more for the rush. We don't: when a slot is open, same-day pickup costs the same flat price as any other day. Send a photo of what needs to go and we quote the soonest window across Phoenix, Scottsdale, the East Valley, and the West Valley. Whether it's a single sofa, a mattress, an appliance, or a whole apartment or garage during a move, we move fast — loaded, out, and disposed of responsibly, usable pieces donated. In the summer we schedule early-morning windows to beat the 110°F heat, and because Arizona doesn't tax the service, there's no sales-tax line on your bill.
One picture of the item, the room, or the pile. An exact flat price comes back in seconds — not "we'll call you," not "we price on site." That speed is the whole reason same-day is possible.
You see the soonest slot we can hold in your part of the Valley and claim it. Book before noon for the best shot at today, especially June through September when crews start early.
An insured crew lifts it from the room, the garage, or the unit — no curb drag, no stair fee — and it's gone. Usable pieces go to donation, and the price is the one you were quoted.
Here is the argument this page is making, in numbers: these are our standard prices, and they are also our same-day prices. There is no second column. Nothing on this list has a rush version.
| Item / volume | Standard flat price | Same-day price |
|---|---|---|
| Order minimum | $75 | $75 |
| Queen mattress | $139 | $139 |
| Treadmill | $155 | $155 |
| Sofa / couch | $170 | $170 |
| Refrigerator | $221 | $221 |
| Truck-fill — quarter (2/8) | $325 | $325 |
| Truck-fill — half (4/8) | $580 | $580 |
| Truck-fill — three-quarter (6/8) | $790 | $790 |
| Truck-fill — full (8/8) | $985 | $985 |
$75 minimum on any order. The carry-out, the drive and the disposal are already in the number — there is no expedite fee, no stair fee, and no fuel or dump surcharge added at the truck. Multiple items? Send one photo and we price the lot together, which for a mixed load usually lands cheaper as truck-fill. No Arizona sales tax on the service.
For context: 2026 market surveys put the average metro Phoenix junk removal job at roughly $226–$237, and the national franchises that also advertise same-day price by truck volume and confirm only after an on-site estimate — so the crew reaches your driveway before the number does. Ours arrives in seconds, before you commit to anything.
| Option | Cost | How fast, realistically | The catch |
|---|---|---|---|
| City of Phoenix bulk trash appointment | Free | 3 business days at the earliest | The city does not offer "today" — appointments only, 4 collections a calendar year, and you carry it to the curb yourself |
| Dumpster rental | Rental + permit | 1–3 days to deliver | Delivery lead time, a right-of-way permit if it goes in the street, and you load every bit of it |
| Rent a truck and do it yourself | U-Haul rental + ~$55/ton tipping | Half a day, if you have help | Transfer station only — the SR-85 Landfill is closed to the public — and you're loading and unloading in 110° heat |
| Traditional full-service hauler | ~$150–$800+ | Same day is possible | The price arrives when the crew does; 1-800-GOT-JUNK withholds the figure until the on-site estimate |
| JunkRabbit | From $75, flat | Today, if a window is open | None — photo, flat price in seconds, same-day slot, no rush surcharge |
No — and that gap is the entire reason this page exists. City of Phoenix bulk trash is appointment-based, run by Phoenix Public Works, and the calendar is built into the rules: appointments carry a minimum lead of three business days, you are capped at four collections per calendar year, and material may not be set out more than seven days before the collection date. "Today" is not an option the city offers at any price. Book on a Thursday afternoon and you are realistically looking at the following week.
Now put that against the deadlines people actually face. A closing is tomorrow. A tenant left a sofa and the unit shows in the morning. An appliance died overnight and the replacement is being delivered this afternoon. Most pointedly, an HOA violation notice — the standard Valley problem in Chandler, Gilbert, Peoria, North Scottsdale, Ahwatukee and every other master-planned suburb — routinely gives you less time to fix it than the city needs to schedule a truck. And the notice is usually about something sitting outside, which means the city's own solution (drag it to the curb and wait a week) is the thing you are being cited for.
The suburbs don't change the shape of it: Gilbert, Chandler, Mesa and Scottsdale run their own bulk schedules with their own caps and set-out windows, so check yours, but expect a lead time, not a same-day service. That's the space we fill — you send a photo, you get a fixed price in seconds, and the thing is gone before the deadline is.
Fast doesn't mean straight to the landfill. Even on a same-day run we sort at the truck: usable furniture, housewares and building material route to Goodwill of Central & Northern Arizona, St. Vincent de Paul, Habitat for Humanity ReStore or Salvation Army, with a donation receipt on request. Metal — bed frames, shelving, weight plates, appliance shells, patio furniture — goes to scrap recycling. E-waste is pulled out and routed to e-waste recyclers rather than tipped with the rest. Refrigerant appliances get certified freon recovery before disposal, which is not something a self-haul trip to the transfer station handles for you. Whatever's genuinely left goes to the 27th Avenue or North Gateway transfer station. None of that changes the price or the timing.
Two honest things about same-day in this metro. First, heat: from June through September we start early, because Valley afternoons run past 110°F and crews working a garage or a stair-carry in that are neither safe nor quick. So in summer, same-day usually means an early or mid-morning slot — book before noon and you're in good shape; call at 3 p.m. in July and tomorrow at dawn is often the honest answer. Second, buildings: a same-day pickup in a Downtown Phoenix or Old Town Scottsdale tower depends on the building, not on us. Those associations require a Certificate of Insurance naming the management company before a vendor touches the freight elevator, and the elevator and loading dock are reserved with a window. We carry the insurance and issue COIs, but the building's calendar is the building's calendar, so high-rise jobs book a beat slower than a Gilbert garage does.
Elsewhere it's simpler. In the HOA suburbs we load from inside the garage so nothing is staged at the curb even for an hour — which matters most when you're calling because of a violation notice in the first place. In gated communities like North Scottsdale, Paradise Valley and Anthem, give us the community name and gate instructions when you book so vendor check-in is cleared before the crew rolls up to the callbox.
"Called in the morning, they came that afternoon. No rush surcharge, no tax line. Flat price, fast, easy."
"Realtor coming next day — they cleared what was left that same afternoon. Lifesaver."
"Early-morning window in July — done before the heat. Whole apartment gone same-day, fair flat price."
How much does same-day cost in Phoenix?
The same as any other day: $75 minimum, queen mattress $139, treadmill $155, sofa $170, refrigerator $221; truck-fill quarter $325, half $580, three-quarter $790, full $985. No Arizona sales tax on the service.
Is there a rush surcharge?
No. There's one price list and same-day is quoted from it. What decides whether you get today is whether a window is still open in your area, not what you're willing to pay.
Can the city come today?
No. Phoenix bulk trash is appointment-based with a minimum three-business-day lead, capped at four collections per calendar year, with items out no more than seven days early. "Today" isn't something the city offers. Suburbs run their own schedules and caps.
How fast can you actually be there?
Photo in, flat price and the soonest window back in seconds. Same-day is commonly open across Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, Glendale and Peoria; Downtown and Old Town high-rises book a beat slower because of COI and dock-window requirements.
What can you take?
A single item, an appliance, a treadmill, a pile, or a whole apartment or garage as truck-fill. Fridges, freezers and ACs get EPA-certified freon recovery at no change to the price.
Cheaper than a traditional full-service hauler?
The real difference is when you learn the number — they price by truck volume and confirm on site, with the metro average running about $226–$237 a job. Ours is fixed from a photo before we roll.
Do you run same-day in July?
Yes, early. June through September we work ahead of 110°F-plus afternoons, so book before noon for the best chance at a same-day slot.
No. There is one price list and same-day pickups are quoted from it. A sofa booked for this afternoon is the same $170 as a sofa booked for next Thursday. What determines whether you get today is whether a window is still open in your part of the Valley, not what you are willing to pay.
No — the city does not offer today at all. Phoenix Public Works runs bulk trash by appointment with a minimum lead of three business days, capped at four collections per calendar year, and items may not be set out more than seven days before the collection. If you are working against a closing, a move-out or an HOA violation notice, the deadline is usually shorter than the city's own lead time. Suburban cities run their own schedules and caps.
Send a photo and you get a flat price back in seconds along with the soonest window we can hold in your area. Same-day is commonly open across Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, Glendale and Peoria. Downtown Phoenix and Old Town Scottsdale high-rises book a beat slower, because those buildings need a Certificate of Insurance on file and a reserved freight-elevator or dock window before any vendor can work.
Anything on the list: a single sofa or mattress, an appliance, a treadmill, a pile of boxes, or a whole apartment or garage priced as truck-fill. Refrigerators, freezers and AC units need EPA-certified freon recovery, which we handle without changing the price or the timing.
The difference is when you learn the number. Traditional full-service companies do offer same-day, but they price by truck volume and confirm on site — 1-800-GOT-JUNK withholds the figure until the on-site estimate, so the crew arrives before the price does. 2026 market surveys put the average metro Phoenix job around $226 to $237. Ours is quoted from a photo in seconds and does not change when the truck pulls up.
Yes, with an honest caveat about timing. From June through September we start early to work ahead of 110°F-plus afternoons, so same-day usually means an early or mid-morning window rather than a 4 p.m. one. Booking before noon gives you the best chance of a slot the same day.
