We pull up, you load, we go

Dump Day Express is for ready-to-load small pickups—not full garage cleanouts, full-home cleanouts or large labor-intensive junk-removal jobs.

Fast Small-Load Pickup

A New, Faster Way to Get Rid of a Small Load

Introducing Dump Day Express—a simple customer-loaded pickup designed for people who only need part of a trailer.

Instead of paying for a full junk-removal crew, you pay for the trailer space your approved load uses. You handle the loading, which helps keep the service quick and affordable.

Text several clear photos and your ZIP code. We review the amount, estimated weight, item type and trailer space needed, then send your quote before the pickup is scheduled.

On pickup day, we pull up, you load the approved items in 10 to 30 minutes, and we haul everything away during the same visit.

What Express Includes

Pay for the Load, Not the Labor

Standard Express pricing assumes that you load the trailer. Your quote is based on the portion of trailer space used, estimated weight, item type and distance—not the cost of a full junk-removal crew carrying everything out.

Photo-Based Quote

Text several clear photos of the complete load along with the pickup ZIP code. Pricing is confirmed before arrival.

Ready to Load

Place everything together at the curb, driveway, garage or accessible first-floor area before the trailer arrives.

Pay for the Space Used

Your quote is based on trailer space, estimated weight, item type and distance—not automatic use of the full trailer.

Important Express Detail

You Are Reserving Space—Not the Entire Trailer

Express customers purchase only the amount of trailer space included in their quote.

The trailer may already contain items collected from other Express customers. Your approved load must fit within the space quoted from the photos you sent.

Additional items that were not shown may increase the price, require a separate pickup or be refused if there is not enough available space or safe hauling capacity.

Show Everything in the Photos

Include every item you expect us to take. Do not wait until arrival to add another pile, extra furniture or hidden bags.

Example: Shared High-Sided Trailer

Express customers reserve only the approved section of trailer space shown in their quote.

Need Help Loading?

Labor Assistance Is Priced as Junk Removal

The standard Express price assumes that you load the trailer.

Dump Day may be able to load approved small pickups for an additional charge. When we provide the labor, the job is priced as junk removal because the quote must include carrying, lifting, loading time and disposal.

We can provide small-load pickup and limited junk-removal help, but we are not a full-time junk-removal company and do not offer full garage cleanouts or full-home cleanouts.

Photos are still required: Show where the items are located, any stairs, hallways, doorways and the complete amount to be removed.

⏱️

Where Your Items Can Be Ready

Keep the approved items together, visible and immediately accessible.

Curb Together and safely away from traffic

Dump Day Express Q & A

Questions About Express Pickup?

How much does Dump Day Express cost?

Pricing starts at $75. The final quote depends on trailer space, estimated weight, item type, distance and whether labor is requested.

How do I get a quote?

Text several clear photos showing everything you want removed. Include the ZIP code and a short description of the pickup.

Do I get the whole trailer?

No. Express pricing is for the amount of trailer space included in your quote. The trailer may contain junk from other customers.

How much loading time do I get?

Express pickups normally allow 10 to 30 minutes for loading. Larger or slower loads should use the full 10-yard Load n Go.

Who loads the trailer?

The standard Express service is customer-loaded. Dump Day may load approved small pickups for an additional junk-removal price.

Do you offer junk removal services?

Yes. Dump Day can provide junk removal for single items and small piles at standard junk-removal pricing.

We are not a full-time junk-removal company, so we do not offer complete home cleanouts, full garage cleanouts, estate cleanouts or large labor-intensive junk-removal projects.

If you can load the trailer yourself, Dump Day Express is usually the more affordable option because you pay for the trailer space used instead of paying for a full junk-removal crew.

Where should the items be placed?

Items may be ready at the curb, driveway, garage or accessible first-floor area. Everything must be together and ready to load.

Do you perform full garage or home cleanouts?

No. Dump Day can offer small-load pickups and limited junk-removal help, but we are not a full-time junk-removal service and do not perform full garage or full-home cleanouts.

What happens if I have more than the photos showed?

Additional items may increase the price, require another pickup or be refused if the available trailer space or safe weight limit cannot accommodate them.

Can you travel farther than 15 miles?

Yes, depending on scheduling and location. Pickups outside the normal 15-mile area may include an additional distance charge.

What if I need the whole 10-yard trailer?

Choose the regular 10-Yard Load n Go, which provides the full trailer and up to one hour of customer loading.
