How is junk removal priced in Washington, D.C.?
Like most of the US, Washington, D.C. haulers charge by how much of the truck your junk fills, not by the hour.

Stairs, long carries and heavy items such as hot tubs or pianos also push the price up.
How can I pay less for junk removal in Washington, D.C.?
Combine everything into one pickup, since one larger load costs less than two small ones. Move items to the curb if the hauler allows it, and skip same-day slots. Donate or sell anything usable first to shrink the volume. Then compare quotes from two or three Washington, D.C. haulers, because prices for the same load vary between companies.
