Text a photo of what needs to go to (626) 590-3118. The crew looks at how much of the truck it takes and sends back a price for the whole job.

Pricing starts at $50, plus two add-ons

Stairs are +$50 each. A steep slope is +$50 at the least. Those are the only add-ons. The rest is one number for the whole job, and it comes off the photo you text them.

What each add-on is for

The stairs add-on is for a staircase on the way out, at +$50 each. One flight down from an upstairs bedroom is +$50, and a second flight is another +$50. The steep slope add-on is +$50 at the least, and how much depends on how hard the carry is, so it comes back with the rest of the price off the photo.

What the number covers

The number is one price for the whole job. The team sends it back after they look at the photo, and it covers the whole pile. There's no separate line for the sectional and another for the boxes stacked behind it. The two add-ons, stairs at +$50 each and a steep slope at +$50 or more, are the only add-ons they list. The $50 minimum is the smallest that number can be. Text a photo to (626) 590-3118.

How the crew sets the number

The Precise crew prices the job off the photo you text them. They look at what's in the frame and set one number for the whole job, with the $50 minimum as the floor and the two add-ons when there are stairs or a steep slope on the way out. A garage cleanout and one mattress out of a back bedroom get priced the same way. The same crew that quotes the job is the one loading it.

How to get the number right the first time

The photo does the work, so give it the whole job. One wide shot from far enough back that nothing gets cut off beats five close-ups of the same couch. Then add a line of text with anything the picture can't show, and send both to the same number. Whether the pile has to be at the curb isn't settled on this page, so ask when you text. Here's what the crew needs to see or read.

  • The whole pile in one frame, with the bags and boxes behind the big pieces in view.
  • Any stairs on the way out, and how many flights, since each one is +$50.
  • A steep slope on the way out, since it adds +$50 at the least.
  • Anything behind a door, like the fridge in the garage or the box spring still in the back bedroom.

The city's own bulk pickup

Pasadena's Public Works department collects bulky items, and that program runs on the city's own rules. The Pasadena page spells out how that program works. Precise Junk Removal works differently. The crew prices the pile off a photo, with one number for the whole job and the $50 minimum as the floor. What goes on the truck is a separate question.

How to pay Precise Junk Removal

Precise Junk Removal takes cash, check and online payment. Any of the three works, for a $50 minimum job or for a pile that fills the truck. If you already know how you'd like to pay, put it in the text with the photo so the team has it in the thread. It's the same for a mattress out of a back bedroom or a whole garage.

When a small pile is worth the minimum

The minimum is $50. The crew doesn't quote under it, so a single chair or four bags from the hall closet gets priced off the photo with $50 as the floor. The question is whether having the pile gone is worth $50 to you. An old fridge in the garage or a box spring against the wall gets the same $50 floor. Text a photo to (626) 590-3118.

Adds to the price
  • Stairs+$50
  • Steep slope+$50

Stairs add about $50 a staircase. A steep slope adds at least that much, and how much depends on how hard the carry is, so it comes back with the rest of the price off the photo.

Price ranges
  • A few things (about a quarter of the bed)$150 to $250
  • Half the bed (about half the bed)$500 to $650
  • Level with the sides (a full load, level with the sides)$1,000 to $1,500
  • Packed over the rail (a full truckload, heaped above the rail)$1,500

Precise's own ranges. The final number for your job comes from your photo.

How it works

One text and it's handled.

Three steps. The price comes off the photo, so the number comes back before anyone turns up. The form on this page reaches the team too.

01

Text a photo

Text a photo to (626) 590-3118. One picture of the couch or the pile by the fence is enough to work from.

02

One price back

The crew sends back one price for the whole job, set by how much room the load takes on the truck. The minimum is $50.

03

The crew loads it

The truck arrives inside a two-hour window and the load goes on it.

“These guys were great - the booking process was super easy! I was able to get someone to me the same day and the team showed up on time, after letting me know they were on the way. They reiterated the pricing process that had been explained to me on the phone and gave me a fair price for the removal of my items. once I gave them the green light, they got to work and got all the items out quickly! I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for efficient, affordable removal services and will definitely use them again in the future!”

“What can I say? I am highly impressed! First of all the response time can’t be beat. I sent a message on Yelp and they responded right away. They were at my house the very next day to give me a quote and do the job if I liked the quote. The quote was unmatched! When they told me the pricing I couldn’t believe it and they were in and out. Adrian and Angel were polite and professional. They did the job without haste. I felt bad for them because it was so hot outside (I had to give them some cold water) but they had no complaints! I would definitely recommend and also use them again in the future. Thank you Precise Junk Removal and Thank you Adrian and Angel for your service!”

Questions

Questions people ask.

What is the minimum Precise Junk Removal charges?
The minimum is $50. That's the floor for any job in Pasadena or the San Gabriel Valley, and the number comes off the photo you text. Text a photo to (626) 590-3118.
Do stairs add to the price?
Yes. Stairs are +$50 each, so one flight on the way out adds +$50 and a second flight adds another +$50. Put them in the photo or the text so the number comes back right.
What does a steep slope add?
A steep slope adds +$50 at the least. How much more depends on the carry, and that comes back with the price off the photo, so show the driveway or the hill in the picture.
How can I pay Precise Junk Removal?
Cash, check or online payment. Those are the methods the team takes, and all three work for any size of job.
Is a small pile worth the $50 minimum?
The minimum is $50 and the crew doesn't quote under it. A single chair or a few bags gets priced off the photo with $50 as the floor, so the call is whether having it gone is worth $50 to you.
