A $35 city bulky-load pickup with rules worth knowing, a mattress surcharge nobody warns you about, and an NC State calendar that empties the west side every May — Raleigh's guides, all here.
Every town across Wake County runs its own bulky collection, but the exclusion lists rhyme. These five categories are the ones that reliably get left at the…
$115 for the outdoor unit on the pad beside your house. $87 or $109 for a window unit depending on size. No refrigerant fee, no environmental surcharge.
A studio that is mostly furniture runs a 1/4 truck at $241. A fully furnished two-bedroom off Avent Ferry is closer to a 1/2 truck at $431. Both are flat…
$68 for a plain metal or platform frame, $126 for a solid or upholstered twin, full or queen, $152 for a king. Taking it apart upstairs is part of the price.
Mostly no, not as a standing arrangement. Bulky collection across the Triangle is generally something you book, and in Cary, Apex and Holly Springs the…
The cheapest route depends almost entirely on one thing: whether the piece has spent a Raleigh summer in a garage or a crawlspace. If it has, skip straight…
$390 for a standard hot tub, $501 for a 6-8 person spa. That covers cutting it down, getting it off the deck and around the house, and disposing of it.
$164 for a standard refrigerator, $183 for a side-by-side or French door, $238 for a built-in. Disposal included, no refrigerant fee, and we carry it out of…
$62, $68 or $73 depending on size — including the enormous rear-projection set in the den that four people could not lift. Carry-out and disposal are in the…
Appliances are the one category municipal collection almost never wants. Refrigerator $164, washer $133, dryer $128, stacked washer-dryer $189 — carried…
Every price below is the price. $75 is the per-visit minimum, $732 is a full truck, and everything in between is a published line you can check before…
There is no national mattress law. There is a stack of local rules that differ between Raleigh, Cary, Apex and unincorporated Wake County, and they change.…
Recycling is not a separate service you buy — it is what happens to a mattress that arrives dry and intact. A queen is $103 to have taken, and the humidity…
A $99 headline is a way to get a truck into your driveway. Our minimum is $75 per visit and a sofa is $126 — both published before anyone drives to Apex.
There are four real destinations for old furniture in the Triangle and the piece itself decides which one it qualifies for. If it has been through a Raleigh…
The cheapest quote you get in the Triangle will usually come from someone with a truck and no coverage. That is fine right up until a sectional meets a…
$75 minimum, truck-fill $241–$732 — the 2026 list.
Free collection starts at an accessible point — the kerb, the garage, a ground-floor door. Getting the sofa there is the half nobody prices.
A facility weighs what you bring; we measure the space it takes up. There is no exchange rate between them — here is the density data that decides which favours your load.
The answer is decided less by the sofa than by the ground underneath it — four surfaces within a few paces of your door, and two authorities that do not overlap.
Two models, not two brands — the price worked out at your address, or worked out before anyone travels. Deciding whether you want a visit eliminates half the options.
Rarely a disposal question, usually a sequencing one — a replacement is coming, the delivery window is fixed, and disconnection gates everything else.
The shelf of paint and the stack of tires are priced items, not refusals — which is why a garage estimate comes in low and cautious at the same time. Live figures, and the parking bay as your unit of measure.
Every piece carries two prices — one to bring it, one to leave it — and only one of them is published. How to get the other number, and why condition is the wrong first question.
No invented average — the word doing the work in that question is “actually”. The published ladder, and the three things that decide whether the figure you are quoted is the figure you are charged.
A 65-inch screen costs eleven dollars more than a 32-inch one. With electronics the number follows the handling, not the inches — and the small screen turns out to be the expensive one.
The rate falls as the load grows — $60.25 a cubic yard at a quarter truck, $45.75 at a full one. Which means the deliberation costs more than the object.
There is no time in the pricing — no hourly rate, no charge for a pause — so the pace can belong to the person whose home it is. Load and bag prices, and why the unit of work is a load rather than a house.
A unit can be quoted by size or by volume, and the gap is real money. Both live tables, and the crossover point that decides which one you should ask for.
Our price list names 190 things and has one line for debris. What it is made of decides whether we can take it; how much there is decides what it costs.
Do not ask which is cheaper. You choose before you know your own volume, so ask which one is cheaper to be wrong with.
Comparing two totals tells you which is smaller and nothing else. Divide the gap by the person-hours and the argument becomes a rate you can accept or refuse.
A storm does not sort your yard by material — it decides which of your things stopped being things. Vegetation is measured; possessions are counted.
Your yard produces three kinds of pile and only two are on a price list. The soil, sod and old fencing have no published line — which makes them the ones worth describing.
A move produces a clear-out at each address on different dates, and the second one is the easy one to leave off the list. Both ends priced, plus where the service area actually reaches.
Nobody can sell you “HOA-safe” — but an appointment leaves nothing to approve. Check access, not permission.
You are the one customer who does this twice — so measure it once and stop guessing. Record cubic yards, not invoices.
No diversion percentage, because we do not record destinations. What the price list discloses instead — and how to read anyone's.
Which questions have answers you can actually check — run on ourselves, including the one that goes against us.
No cheaper month, day or hour — we checked. What a date fixes is the volume, which is the ordinary reason a clear-out beats its quote.
There is no senior rate and we say so first. The price is indexed to volume and nothing else — which leaves exactly one lever.
No staging statistics. Somebody still lives there, which caps the job at the genuine surplus — and makes it the smallest tier we sell.
Which is actually worth it, item by item.
Every route with its real cost.
Cost, recycling — and the $40 surcharge nobody mentions.
Twin mattress $82, mini-fridge $115 — on the NC State calendar.
