Why it's a hauler job
Scrap is heavy and sharp, and it piles up in corners of yards and garages. San Antonio's curbside bulky program accepts grills, fencing, large appliances and water heaters — but only on your collection week, capped at 8 cubic yards within 8 feet of the curb. Between cycles, or when the pile is bigger, you're on your own. See the full rules.
Pricing
One or two pieces are a single-item price starting at $95; a yard or garage full of metal is usually a half trailer from $345. We confirm the price before we start.
| Size | Starting at | Typical job |
|---|---|---|
| Single Item | from $95 | One large item — curbside or in-home pickup, sweep-up included. |
| Half Trailer | from $345 | Up to half of our 16′ × 7′ × 4′ dump trailer. The usual choice for garage, room and furniture cleanouts. |
| Full Trailer | from $595 | A full trailer load (about 448 cubic feet) — construction debris, estate and property cleanouts. |
Final price depends on volume. You'll always get a clear quote before we start — no hidden fees.
