Junk Removal / Cost Estimator
Low and high, before you call
Pick your city, what's going and how much. You'll see a low and high estimate, the likely weight, and what the county charges per ton to dump it.
Highs and lows
Every county sets its own disposal rate, so the same load can cost more than twice as much to dump depending on where it goes. Across the counties we serve, published rates run from $63.57 per ton in Pinellas County to $148 per ton in Hillsborough County.
| County | Cities | Low per ton | High per ton | Minimum | What the rate covers |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pinellas | St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Largo | $63.57 | $63.57 | None listed | County disposal fee, charged by the ton for trucks and trailers |
| Hillsborough | Tampa | $109 | $148 | None listed | Commercial rates. Low is non-processable waste. High is processable. |
County websites checked November 2026. Rates change, usually each October. The City of Tampa runs its own disposal system, and private facilities set their own rates, so a Tampa load may cost a different amount. Loads from outside a county can cost more.
Why weight matters
Haulers usually price by how much truck space you use, but the dump charges by the ton. A quarter truck of old furniture and a quarter truck of broken tile take up the same space, and the tile can weigh several times more.
That's why construction debris removal usually costs more than regular junk removal.
| Material | Pounds per cubic yard |
|---|---|
| Household junk | 150–300 (planning estimate) |
| Mixed construction debris | 400–500 |
| Drywall scrap | 400–700 |
| Tile and concrete | 1,400–1,855 |
Loose material. Real weights vary. Debris figures come from published construction waste conversion tables.
