JUNK REMOVAL COST SEATTLE — 2025 COMPLETE PRICE GUIDE
Exactly what you'll pay for junk removal in Seattle — by job type, load size, and what nobody else tells you about King County transfer station fees. No marketing fluff. Real prices from a company that publishes them upfront.
The Honest Price Breakdown
WHERE THE MONEY GOES IN SEATTLE JUNK REMOVAL
When you pay for junk removal in Seattle, you're paying for three things: labor (typically two crew members), the truck, and disposal fees. The disposal fees are where Seattle gets expensive relative to other markets — and where many companies hide costs.
King County transfer station fees (2025)
King County transfer stations currently charge approximately $175.50 per ton for residential disposal. A typical half-truck load of household junk weighs 600–900 lbs — so transfer station fees on that load are roughly $53–$79. These fees are fixed and unavoidable. JunkSeattle includes all transfer station fees in our quoted price, always. If a company gives you a quote without confirming transfer fees are included, ask explicitly before you commit.
Labor and truck
Standard Seattle junk removal uses a two-person crew. Typical job time in a Seattle home is 45–90 minutes. Labor is the primary variable cost explaining price differences between load sizes.
