What it costs

Pricing is based on volume — how much space your items take up in our trailer. Use our published prices below to know what to expect, then use our estimator or call for a specific quote. Final price is always confirmed on-site before any work begins.

Our 7×16 hydraulic dump trailer holds up to 16 cubic yards — that's bigger than most competitors' trucks.

All prices include labor, loading, transport, and disposal. If the load is smaller than estimated, the price goes down.

Common questions

FAQ

How is pricing determined?

Pricing is based on volume — how much space your items take up in our 16-yard trailer. You can use our instant estimator to get a price before we arrive. The final price is confirmed by our crew on-site before any work begins — if the actual load is smaller than estimated, the price goes down. All prices are all-inclusive: labor, loading, hauling, and disposal. Surcharges for special materials (tires, concrete, appliances with refrigerant) are quoted separately on-site.

Do I need to be home during the job?

We prefer you're present for the walkthrough and quote approval. After that, you don't need to stay. Many customers leave a garage code or meet us briefly. We'll send a photo when it's done.

What items can you not take?

We cannot remove hazardous materials including paint, chemicals, asbestos, medical waste, or motor oil. No propane tanks or car tires. Appliances with refrigerants require certified recovery — we'll discuss this during the quote.

Can you handle same-day pickups?

Yes — subject to availability. Call by 10am and we can usually get to you that afternoon. Weekend availability is more limited during Saturday hours (8am–3pm).

Do you donate or recycle items?

Absolutely. Usable items are donated locally. Metals, cardboard, and electronics are recycled through our transfer station partners. We provide donation receipts for tax purposes on request.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Lift Detroit LLC is a registered Michigan LLC with general liability insurance and commercial auto coverage. Proof of insurance available on request.

Do you offer snow removal?

Yes — commercial and residential plowing and salting during the winter season (November through March). Contract and per-push pricing available. Contact us for a seasonal quote.
