Most junk removal operators are losing $300–$800 per week by pricing wrong — either leaving money on the table or losing jobs to competitors they could have beat. This is the exact pricing system we used to build a $10M+ junk removal business from scratch.
Every job you price wrong costs you — either the job itself, or hundreds in margin you should have kept. Here's what most operators deal with every single week:
Most operators expect a spreadsheet. What they get is a full operating framework for building a profitable, scalable junk removal business.
Here's a partial look at the volume pricing tiers in the guide. The full table — including specialty items, surcharges, and complete scenario breakdowns — is inside.
| Load Size | Cubic Feet | What It Looks Like | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Minimum Load | 50 cu ft | A few bags, small items | $150 |
| Small Load | 100 cu ft | Couch + some boxes | $218 |
| Quarter Truck | 320 cu ft | Bedroom set | $402 |
| Half Truck | 640 cu ft | Living room + garage items | $1,030 |
| Three-Quarter Truck | 960 cu ft | Multi-room cleanout | $1,460 |
| Full 20ft Box Truck | 1,280 cu ft | Full home / estate | $1,890 |
These aren't cherry-picked edge cases. This is what happens when operators implement a real system.
"I was struggling in every part of my business — pricing, operations, everything. I put the complete package on a credit card. It was a real risk. But one month after I implemented everything, I did just over $10,000. The month before? About $1,000. I went from barely surviving to actually running a business."
"I've been in business for 10 years and never had a real operations manual. I knew I needed one, but never had the time to build it. Buying Ted's gave me the foundation to hire a full-time ops manager and go from working 60 hours a week to less than 10. I should have done this years ago."
"I'd been winging my pricing for three years. Every call felt like a coin flip — am I too high? Too low? Did I just lose that job? Within two weeks of using this guide my close rate almost doubled. I stopped losing jobs on price and started losing them because they weren't worth taking. That shift alone changed everything."
Whether you're just getting started or you've been at it for years, this guide meets you where you are.
You need a pricing system before you lose any more jobs to bad quotes. This skips the 2-year learning curve entirely.
You're doing solid volume but margin feels thin. A pricing tune-up here could add $2,000–$5,000/month to the bottom line.
You need consistent, trainable pricing your crews can use. No more "call the owner for every quote."
Winter doesn't have to kill your revenue. The seasonal strategy section alone is worth the price of the guide.
Here's a breakdown of what's inside — and what it would cost to figure all of this out on your own.

The guide is built around Charlotte, NC pricing, but Section 4 is specifically a competitor analysis framework to calibrate prices to your local market. We've had operators use this in Oshkosh WI, Kannapolis NC, and a dozen other markets. The framework adapts — you plug in your market's numbers.
Kevin (Clear the Clutter, 10 years in business) said it best: "I should have done this years ago." The operators who've been around longest are often the ones running on gut feel the longest — and leaving the most margin on the table. The seasonal strategy and B2B outreach sections tend to be especially valuable for established operators looking to smooth out revenue.

This specific guide is built for junk removal — the pricing tiers, job scenarios, and volume math are specific to junk removal operations with box trucks. If you're in another trade (pressure washing, lawn care, HVAC, etc.), check out The Service Manual — our neutralized versions for other home service trades.
The only question is how long you want to keep guessing. One job priced right pays for this guide ten times over.
