If you've ever looked for junk removal prices in Oshkosh or Neenah, you might have observed that junk removal quotes can differ significantly between companies. One company might quote $400 per load, while another might charge $500. Initially, the lower price might appear to be a better deal — but here's the reality: not all junk removal "loads" are the same size.


Junk Removal Pricing Is Based on Volume


Most junk removal companies, like Clear The Clutter, determine pricing based on volume, which refers to how much space your items occupy in the truck or trailer, in addition to any recycling fees. This means that quotes from two companies with different truck or trailer sizes aren't directly comparable.


A smaller trailer might have a lower cost per load, but it could result in more trips and higher overall expenses to remove the same quantity of junk.


Why Size Matters


At Clear The Clutter, our trucks hold 18 cubic yards. For comparison, here’s what most competitors are using around the Fox Valley junk removal area:


  • Utility trailer: 8' x 6' x 1.5' = about 3 cubic yards



  • Dump trailer: 12' x 7' x 2' = about 6.5 cubic yards



That means our trucks can carry:


  • 6 times more than a small utility trailer

  • Almost 3 times more than a standard dump trailer


A Real Example: Comparing the True Cost


Imagine you're emptying a garage that contains items like a couch, a dresser, and a few boxes of miscellaneous items, totaling about 3 cubic yards.


  • A utility trailer (3 cubic yards per load) = 1 full load → $400

  • A dump trailer (6.5 cubic yards per load) = ½ load → around $250

  • Our 18-cubic-yard truck = ¼ load → $150–$200


Although the cost for our full truck might seem higher, you actually pay less per cubic yard, and the entire task is completed more quickly, efficiently, and cost-effectively.


The Bigger the Job, the Bigger the Savings


For larger cleanouts, the difference becomes even more pronounced. For 18 cubic yards or one full truck for us.


  • Clear The Clutter Junk Removal: 18 cubic yards = 1 full load ≈ $500 and 3 hours to finish the job.

  • Dump trailer competitor: 3 loads = $1,500 and a full day with 3 dump runs to complete the job.

  • Utility trailer competitor: 6 loads = $2,400 and several days to finish the job.


This translates to significant savings in both time and money. Fewer trips mean less time spent on-site and less hassle for you.


Why Fox Valley Homeowners Choose Clear The Clutter


When you choose Clear The Clutter Junk Removal for services in Oshkosh, Neenah, or anywhere in the Fox Valley, you receive: Honest, volume-based pricing that is fair and transparent. Larger trucks for quicker, more efficient cleanups, and local professionals committed to completing the job correctly.


When comparing junk removal quotes next time, don't just consider the price per load — inquire about the size of the truck or trailer. A smaller trailer might appear cheaper, but when you calculate, Clear The Clutter Junk Removal provides the best value in the Fox Valley area.
