Upload photos, get an itemized fixed price in about 7 seconds. No phone call, no sales conversation, no walkthrough appointment, no hidden fees — anywhere in New York City.
Photograph what's going — every item priced individually, total at the bottom
Upload Photos & Get Quote →Three steps, and none of them involve a phone.
1. Photograph what you want gone. Phone camera is fine. Get the whole pile in frame, and open any closet or room that's part of the job.
2. Upload them. No account, no login, no email required to see a number.
3. Read the itemized quote. It comes back in roughly seven seconds, with every object listed at its own price and a total underneath. Book the slot on the same screen, or close the tab — nothing happens either way, and nobody rings you afterwards.
That's the whole path. It works across New York City — Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island — plus Westchester and the closer parts of NY state we cover.
Yes, and it's worth understanding why most companies can't do it.
The traditional model prices on judgement. You describe a pile over the phone, someone gives you a range, then a crew arrives and produces the real number in your living room — at the exact moment you have the least leverage and the most reason to just say yes.
Photo quoting removes the judgement step. Pictures go against a published per-item catalog. A sofa has a price. A dresser has a price. There's nothing for a salesperson to feel out, which is precisely why no call is needed.
The trade is that your photos have to be honest. Shoot the whole job and the quote holds. Shoot one corner of a four-room apartment and it won't.
Two models, and knowing which you're being quoted on tells you most of what you need.
Volume pricing charges by how much of the truck you fill, usually as a fraction of a load. It's a reasonable model for big messy jobs, but the fraction is typically judged on site, which is what makes the final number unpredictable.
Itemized pricing charges a published price per object. A queen mattress is $139 whether it leaves alone or with a houseful of furniture.
We quote both and charge the lower one. Under about five pieces, itemizing usually wins. Past that, the truck tiers take over — and you don't have to work out which applies, because the quote comes back at whichever is cheaper.

Published prices mean you can sanity-check a quote before you accept it, which is the part a phone estimate never gives you. The same catalog applies everywhere we work in NY, so a Brooklyn price and a Bronx price for the same sofa are the same price.
The fees worth asking any New York hauler about, before you book:
The quoted number is the number. It only moves if what we find genuinely differs from the photos, and then you see the revised itemization and approve it before anything goes on the truck.
It shouldn't, and when it does there's almost always a specific reason.
The usual cause is something that was never in frame — a second bedroom, a closet that stayed shut, a storage cage in the basement, a fridge still in the kitchen. Photo quoting can only price what it can see.
If that happens, the crew re-quotes on the spot against the same published catalog, shows you the itemized difference, and waits. Nothing is loaded on a price you haven't seen and agreed to. You can also decline the extra items and keep the original job.
A phone estimate is a description of a description. You tell someone "a couch and some boxes"; they picture something; you picture something else; the crew finds a third thing.
Photos collapse that. The person quoting is looking at the actual sofa, the actual number of boxes, the actual hallway. It's why the number holds.
It's also faster than the call would have been. Most people get a price before they'd have finished waiting on hold.
Four or five pictures is normally plenty. More is fine; fewer is where quotes drift.
Yes. The booking screen shows real available slots, and same-day is frequently one of them if you're quoting in the morning.
Book by around noon and same-day is usually workable across most of the city; later than that and you're generally looking at a next-morning slot. Same-day junk removal in NYC covers the timing in detail, and there are borough pages for Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx.
One New York wrinkle worth flagging, because it's the thing most likely to stop a booking that's otherwise fine.
Many doorman and co-op buildings require a certificate of insurance naming the building as additional insured, filed before a contractor can work. That takes a little lead time and it can't be produced on the doorstep. Our COI page explains the process — tell us the building when you book and we handle it.
Some buildings also restrict service-elevator hours. Worth a message to your super before you pick a slot.
Labor, the truck, all loading, disposal, recycling and donation drop-off. Reusable furniture goes to donation where it's accepted; mattresses, electronics and metal go to recycling; only what's genuinely finished goes to a transfer station.
There's no charge for the quote, no charge for a slot you don't take, and no deposit to see a number.
If you want a junk removal price in New York City without speaking to anyone: photograph it, upload it, read the itemized quote. Roughly seven seconds, no call, no account, and the number you see is the number you pay unless the job turns out to be different from the pictures — in which case you approve the change first.
