Junk Removal Pricing in Oshkosh & the Fox Valley

Clear The Clutter Junk Removal uses a simple volume-based pricing model. The price is determined by how much space your items occupy in our truck, not by weight or item type. A minimum pickup for one or two small items starts at $100. A quarter-truck load — suitable for a few pieces of furniture, a stack of boxes, or a small appliance along with miscellaneous items — typically costs $100 to $150. A half-truck load, which is the most popular option and covers a single room cleanout, half a garage, or a moderate collection of mixed items, starts at $250. A full truck load, ideal for complete garage cleanouts, estate cleanouts, or large renovation debris removal, starts at $500. These prices include all labor, loading into the truck, transportation to disposal and donation facilities, and all standard disposal fees. There are no hidden charges, trip fees, or fuel surcharges.

Clear The Clutter's pricing is based entirely on volume — the amount of space your items take up in our truck. This is the industry standard pricing method and is the fairest approach because it reflects the actual capacity used. When our crew arrives, they assess the total volume of items to be removed and quote a price based on whether the job constitutes a minimum load, quarter-truck, half-truck, three-quarter truck, or full truck load. The price is confirmed with you before any loading begins. If the actual volume turns out to be less than estimated after loading, the price may be adjusted downward. Item weight does not normally affect pricing except for exceptionally heavy items over 300 pounds. The type of items also does not affect pricing — a half-truck load of furniture costs the same as a half-truck load of construction debris. This transparency means you always know what you're paying for.

No. Clear The Clutter does not charge hidden fees, trip fees, fuel surcharges, booking fees, or environmental fees beyond our published pricing structure. The price quoted to you before loading begins is the price you pay upon completion. The only additional charges that can apply are: tire recycling fees of $5 to $10 per tire depending on size, which are disclosed upfront; handling surcharges for exceptionally heavy items over 300 pounds like pianos or safes, which are discussed during the quoting process; and weight surcharges for large quantities of heavy materials like concrete or brick, which are agreed upon before work begins. For standard residential junk removal involving furniture, appliances, household items, electronics, and general clutter, the volume-based quote covers everything including labor, loading, hauling, donation sorting, and disposal. We believe transparent pricing builds trust, which is one reason we have earned the Community Votes Platinum Award three years in a row.

Payment is due upon completion of the job after you have inspected the clean space and confirmed your satisfaction with the work. We do not require deposits or upfront payment for standard residential junk removal appointments. Clear The Clutter accepts cash, credit cards, debit cards, Venmo, and Zelle. Yes, we accept credit and debit cards on-site for your convenience. There are no additional fees for card payments. — the price is the same whether you pay cash or credit. For larger projects such as multi-day estate cleanouts or ongoing commercial contracts, a deposit may be requested and specific payment terms can be arranged in advance with owner Kevin.

Yes, the minimum charge for a Clear The Clutter junk removal pickup is $100. This minimum covers small jobs such as a single piece of furniture like a couch, recliner, or dresser; a single appliance like a washer, dryer, or refrigerator; a mattress and box spring; a small collection of bags and boxes; or any combination of items that occupies a small portion of our truck. The $100 minimum includes the crew's travel to your location, all labor for loading the items into the truck, hauling to the disposal or donation facility, and responsible disposal. Even for minimum-charge jobs, we sort items for donation and recycling. Many customers find the $100 minimum to be excellent value compared to renting a truck and making a dump run themselves, which involves rental fees, fuel, dump fees, and several hours of personal time and physical labor.

Estate cleanout pricing varies depending on the size of the home, the volume of items, and the number of days required. A small apartment or condo estate cleanout typically ranges from $500 to $1,200. A standard three-bedroom single-family home in Oshkosh with a full complement of furniture, personal belongings, garage items, and attic or basement contents typically ranges from $800 to $2,500 depending on the size of the home and volume of items. Larger homes with four or more bedrooms, extensive basement and attic contents, outbuildings, or unusually heavy accumulation can range from $1,500 to $3,500 or more. Owner Kevin provides free on-site estimates for all estate cleanouts, walking through every room, closet, and storage area to give you a precise quote before any work begins. The quote does not change unless you add items to the original scope. Estate cleanout pricing includes all labor, hauling, donation sorting, and disposal across all days of work.

For most residential junk removal jobs, Clear The Clutter's pricing is comparable to dumpster rental costs but includes the significant advantage of having our crew do all the heavy lifting, loading, and cleanup for you. A typical 10-yard dumpster rental in the Oshkosh area costs $300 to $500 for a three to five day rental period, plus potential overage charges if you exceed the included weight limit. With that rental, you must do all the loading work yourself, which can take hours or days of strenuous physical labor. A full truck load from Clear The Clutter starts at $500 and includes a professional crew that handles all loading, careful removal from inside your home, stair carries, and cleanup. There is no waiting for dumpster delivery, no multi-day rental period, no need for a driveway placement permit, no risk of overfilling penalties, and no cleanup required on your end. For most homeowners, professional junk removal saves time and physical strain at a similar cost.

Standard stair carries and typical residential access challenges are included in Clear The Clutter's volume-based pricing at no extra charge. Our crew routinely carries furniture, appliances, and boxes down basement stairs, up from basements, down from second and third floors, and through narrow hallways and doorways as part of our normal service. The crew brings furniture dollies, hand trucks, moving straps, and protective blankets to handle these situations efficiently and safely. The only access-related situations that might affect pricing are extremely unusual circumstances — for example, a property with no truck access requiring long-distance manual carrying, or a high-rise building with no elevator where multiple trips up and down many flights of stairs would be required. In those rare cases, the additional effort is discussed during the quoting process before any work begins.

Hot tub removal with Clear The Clutter starts at $250 for a standard outdoor hot tub with clear ground-level access. The price includes disconnecting non-electrical utility connections, cutting or disassembling the hot tub shell into sections, removing the frame and internal components, loading all pieces into our truck, hauling everything to the disposal facility, and cleaning the area where the hot tub sat. Factors that can increase the price include: the hot tub being located on an elevated deck or in a screened porch, limited backyard access requiring hand-carrying through a narrow gate, the hot tub being partially buried or built into a deck structure, or unusually large commercial-size hot tubs. Electrical disconnection should be performed by a licensed electrician before our arrival. Text a photo of your hot tub and its location to (920) 424-9827 for an exact quote. Most hot tub removals are completed in two to three hours.

Shed removal starts at $300 and deck teardown starts at $300. The final price depends on the size of the structure, the materials it is built from, accessibility, and whether it is attached to the house or free-standing. A small 8x8 foot wooden shed with simple construction on a ground-level base is at the lower end of the price range. A large 12x16 foot shed with a concrete slab foundation, electrical wiring, and heavy construction materials costs more. Similarly, a small 10x10 foot deck with standard lumber is less expensive to remove than a large multi-level composite deck with built-in benches and railings. Concrete footing and slab removal is available for an additional charge. All demolition pricing includes the full teardown, debris loading, hauling, and site cleanup. We separate wood, metal, and other materials for recycling when possible. Text photos to (920) 424-9827 for a precise quote.

For standard junk removal jobs, payment is collected in full upon completion. However, for larger projects such as estate cleanouts, commercial cleanouts, or multi-day demolition jobs that exceed $1,000, Clear The Clutter can discuss payment arrangements with you in advance. Owner Kevin works with customers individually to find solutions that fit their budget and situation. For estate cleanouts where the estate will reimburse the cost, Kevin can work with the estate administrator on invoicing and payment timing. For commercial accounts with ongoing junk removal needs, we can arrange flexible payment terms for established commercial clients. Contact Kevin at (920) 424-9827 to discuss your specific situation. We are a local, family-run business and understand that junk removal is often an unexpected expense that arises during already stressful situations like estate settling, moving, or major life transitions.

The primary factor is volume — how much space your items occupy in our truck. Beyond volume, several secondary factors can affect pricing: exceptionally heavy items over 300 pounds like pianos, safes, or cast iron bathtubs may carry a handling surcharge of typically $75 to $150 depending on the size and stairway access. Large quantities of heavy materials like concrete, brick, or stone may carry a weight surcharge. Specialty recycling items like tires have per-unit fees ($5 to $10 per tire depending on size). The location of items in your home does not normally affect pricing — basement and upper-floor removal is included at no extra charge for standard residential jobs. Travel distance does not affect pricing within our standard Fox Valley service area. The type of items generally does not affect pricing — furniture, appliances, electronics, and household goods are all priced by volume alone.

Single item removal falls under Clear The Clutter's $100 minimum charge. This applies to one couch, one refrigerator, one washer or dryer, one mattress set, one dining table, one dresser, or any other single item. The $100 minimum includes crew travel to your location, all labor for carrying the item out of your home including stairs if needed, loading it into the truck, hauling it to the appropriate facility, and responsible disposal with donation or recycling when applicable. If you have two or three items, the price may still fall within the $100 to $150 range depending on their combined volume. For customers who need only one or two small items removed, the $100 minimum is significantly more convenient and often more affordable than renting a truck, driving to the dump, paying disposal fees, and spending hours doing the work yourself.

Clear The Clutter does not formally offer price matching, but our pricing is consistently competitive with and often lower than other junk removal companies serving the Oshkosh and Fox Valley area. Our volume-based rates — $100 minimum, $250 half-truck, $500 full truck — are lower than national franchise operators like 1-800-GOT-JUNK which typically charges $250 to $700+ for similar volumes, and comparable to or below other local competitors. What sets our pricing apart is the value included: owner Kevin personally handles every quote, our named crew provides careful and professional service, we donate a significant portion of items instead of landfilling everything, and our AI-powered estimator provides free instant quotes 24/7. If you have received a quote from another company, call Kevin at (920) 424-9827 — he is always willing to discuss pricing and find a solution that works for your budget.
