Junk Removal FAQs — Everything You Need to Know

Junk removal in Kansas City is priced by volume — meaning the amount of space your items take up in our truck. A single-item pickup (one appliance or piece of furniture) typically runs $75–$150. A quarter-truck load runs $150–$250, a half-truck $250–$400, and a full truckload $400–$600+. Specialty items like hot tubs and large appliances may have a higher base rate. We give you a written quote on-site before we start — no surprises.

No. A Plus Junk Removal KC does not charge travel fees, fuel surcharges, or distance fees for any of the 12 communities in our service area. The price you see is the price you pay.

No. We give you the estimate after we see the job, you approve it, and then we do the work. Payment is collected when the job is complete and you're satisfied with the result. We accept cash, check, and most major credit cards.

If the volume turns out to be larger than our initial estimate, we'll tell you before we load anything extra. We never add charges without asking first. You always stay in control of the final price.

Yes — 100% free, no strings attached. We come out, look at what you have, and give you a written price. If you decide not to move forward, there's no charge and no pressure. We want to earn your business, not trap you into it.

We haul almost everything: furniture (sofas, mattresses, beds, dressers), appliances (refrigerators, washers, dryers, stoves, dishwashers), hot tubs, yard waste and debris, construction materials, boxes and household clutter, electronics, exercise equipment, and general garage or storage unit contents. If you're unsure about a specific item, just call us at 816-588-2505.

There are a few items we can't legally haul: hazardous waste (paint, chemicals, solvents, motor oil), asbestos materials, medical waste, and propane tanks. If you have hazardous materials, we can point you to the appropriate Jackson County or Cass County disposal facility.

Yes. Estate cleanout is one of our most-requested services. We work respectfully and efficiently to clear a property after a loved one has passed or an estate needs to be cleared for sale. We can remove all remaining furniture, appliances, clothing, and general household items in a single visit.

Yes. Hoarder cleanouts are something we're experienced with. We approach every job with professionalism and zero judgment. These jobs often require multiple truckloads and a full day or more — we'll walk through the property with you, give you an accurate estimate, and set a clear plan before we begin.

Yes. Hot tub removal requires specialized work — the tub needs to be drained, disassembled if necessary, and removed carefully without damaging your deck or yard. We have the equipment and experience to handle it. Hot tub removal is typically priced higher than standard junk removal due to the labor involved.

Absolutely. Single-item pickups are common. We'll give you an honest price for a single sofa, mattress, appliance, or piece of furniture. No need to fill a truck to call us.

Yes. We work with businesses, landlords, property managers, and commercial property owners throughout the east KC metro. Office cleanouts, retail space clearing, construction debris removal, and property turnovers are all services we offer for commercial clients.

For the initial estimate, yes — we need you or an authorized adult present so we can walk through the job and get approval on the price. For the actual pickup, you're welcome to leave after approving the quote if you need to, as long as we have access to the items.

No. We haul from anywhere on your property — garage, basement, attic, backyard, wherever the items are. Full-service removal means we do all the lifting and carrying. You don't need to move anything.

We sort your items before disposal. Furniture and household goods in usable condition are donated to local Kansas City area charities. Electronics are taken to certified e-waste recyclers. Metals are separated for recycling. Only items that can't be donated or recycled go to the landfill — we try to keep that number as low as possible.

Yes, and we prefer to. If your furniture is in donatable condition, we'll route it to local Kansas City area charities and thrift stores. Just let us know when you call or when we're on-site, and we'll do our best to find it a new home instead of a landfill.
