If you're staring down a pile of old furniture, yard waste, or renovation debris, you're probably wondering: "How much is this going to cost me to haul away?" The answer isn’t one-size-fits-all—but understanding what affects junk removal pricing in Northern Arizona can help you plan ahead and avoid surprises. At Copper State Junk Removal & Hauling, we believe in transparent, volume-based pricing with no hidden fees. Whether you're clearing out a garage in Prescott, doing a remodel in Chino Valley, or preparing a property for guests in Sedona, here’s what you can expect when it comes to junk hauling costs in our region.

What Impacts the Price of Junk Removal?

The cost of junk removal can vary based on several key factors—like the volume of material, the type of junk (furniture vs. construction debris), local disposal fees, and even access to the site. At Copper State Junk Removal & Hauling, we price by load size to keep things fair and transparent. That way, you're only paying for the space your junk takes up—not a flat rate that overcharges light jobs or undercharges heavy ones.

• Volume (¼, ½, full load)

• Type of junk (appliances, yard waste, construction debris)

• Weight or landfill costs 

• Labor or special handling needs

So let’s say you have a half-load of general household solid waste. For safety purposes, we operate with a two man crew for most average sized jobs. A half-load will take ~ 1hr to load, plus travel/disposal time.  Here is a breakdown on how we would calculate volume for a half-load of solid waste:

Example: Half-Load of Solid Waste

• Trailer Dimensions: 14 ft (L) × 7 ft (W) × 4 ft (H)

• Total Volume: 392 cubic feet ≈ 14.5 cubic yards

• Half Load: ~7.25 cubic yards of solid waste

Estimated Weight for Solid Waste

• General household or construction debris averages 250–350 lbs per cubic yard

• For 7.25 cubic yards:

  • Low end: 7.25 × 250 = ~1,813 lbs (~0.91 tons)

  • High end: 7.25 × 350 = ~2,538 lbs (~1.27 tons)

Dump Fee at Sun Dog Transfer Station

• Rate: $99/ton

• Estimated Fee:

  • Low end (0.91 tons): ~$90

  • High end (1.27 tons): ~$126
