Fort Myers Junk Removal rents roll-off dumpsters and runs full-service junk removal, so we don’t need to steer you toward one. The right choice comes down to two questions: who’s doing the loading, and how long the project runs.

When a dumpster makes more sense

Rent a dumpster when the work stretches over days or weeks and someone on site is doing the lifting: a kitchen or bathroom remodel, a roof, flooring coming up room by room, or a cleanout you want to tackle at your own pace. The dumpster sits on your property, you fill it as the work happens, and we haul it away when you’re done. We rent 10 to 40-yard roll-offs in Lee County; where one can sit depends on your city and the type of job, so we confirm before you book.

When junk removal makes more sense

Book junk removal when you want it gone without lifting anything. Our crew carries items out of the house, garage or lanai, loads the truck and leaves the same visit. It’s usually the better fit for a few heavy pieces like a sofa, a hot tub or appliances, for a condo or HOA community where a dumpster can’t sit out front, or when you need the space cleared in a day. See what we take and our prices.

Comparing the cost

A dumpster price covers the container, delivery and haul-away; you supply the labor. A junk removal price includes the crew’s labor, loading and disposal. For a few bulky items, junk removal often costs less than a dumpster. For a long remodel that fills a container, a dumpster usually wins. Tell us what you’re clearing out and we’ll tell you which costs less.

Our starting prices, side by side

These are the starting prices from our published price list. Each covers labor, loading, hauling and standard disposal fees for the item described. Stairs, extra weight, disassembly or several items together change the total, and we confirm one written price from your photos before any work. Every job has a $99 minimum charge.
