True junk
Call 800-GOT-JUNK to have uniformed drivers take it all away - for a price. The fee is based on volume (plus any special recycling surcharges that local authorities add on). Prices for a truckload (15 cubic yards) vary by region; the company's website shows you how much stuff can fit in a truck. The minimum charge ranges from about $90 to $110; the maximum, about $495 to $695. Another possibility: Check the local Yellow Pages or run "junk removal" and the name of your town through Google for local haulers. You can also ask for a recommendation at your own town dump.
