Dallas specifics
Dallas has the highest single-family teardown rate of any Sun Belt metro, so post-demo cleanout jobs are a distinct pricing category — quoted by weight rather than volume. Alley pickup is standard in older Dallas neighborhoods like the M Streets and Lakewood, which speeds jobs and can shave 10–15% off vs. front-yard load-out — worth mentioning to the crew when you get the quote.

FAQs
How much does junk removal cost in Dallas?
$120–$620 depending on volume. Median for a typical medium load is around $245. Full-truck jobs (~15 cu yd — a packed garage or a 2-3 room cleanout) run $450–$620.
Do Dallas junk-removal companies take construction debris?
Most take small volumes (a few bags of drywall or flooring scraps) at their standard rate. For anything above a 1/4 truck of concrete, tile, or shingles, expect a weight surcharge — those companies charge by the ton once you're over the free-weight threshold. For big cleanouts, a roll-off dumpster is usually cheaper.
What's the cheapest way to get rid of a fridge in Dallas?
$95–$160 through a junk-removal company (includes Freon reclaim). City of Dallas bulky-item pickup is free but scheduled 2-4 weeks out. If you're replacing an appliance, most retailers will haul the old one for $25–$50 as part of the delivery.
Do Dallas pros charge for alley vs. front-yard pickup?
Not typically as a line-item — but alley access is faster, so quotes on older-neighborhood homes with alley access (M Streets, Lakewood, Oak Cliff) tend to run 10–15% below equivalent volume front-yard jobs. Mention alley access when you get the quote.
How long does a full-truck cleanout take in Dallas?
2–3 hours on-site for a 2-person crew loading ~15 cu yd. Add 30–60 minutes for stairs, gated access, or a long carry from house to curb. Most companies schedule same-day or next-day for jobs booked before 10 AM.
