The Fan's narrow rowhouses, a free city bulk-and-brush pickup with its own rhythm, and a VCU calendar that turns the whole district over in May — Richmond's guides, all in one place.
There are six genuinely different kinds of alternative in the Richmond metro, not one. Here is what each is actually good at, and the failure mode of each.
Bulk collection is genuinely useful for furniture at a curb. These five categories are where it stops, in all three Richmond-area jurisdictions.
A small window unit is $87, a large one $109, a portable $85 and an outdoor condenser $115. Refrigerant recovery is part of the job, not an extra line on…
Most Richmond apartment cleanouts land between a quarter truck at $241 and a half truck at $431. Studios in the Fan often come in under that on item pricing…
A metal or platform frame is $68. A solid or upholstered one is $126, or $152 in king. The difference is not size, it is whether it comes apart.
The price is the same every day of the year: $126 for a sofa, $75 minimum, no same-day surcharge. What changes is whether you can get the window you want.
Sometimes — inside your jurisdiction's set-out window, on a curb that can actually take it. On a Fan block, that is a narrower set of conditions than people…
The genuinely cheapest route is free, and it only works under conditions half of Richmond does not have. Here is the honest ranking, ending at $126 for a sofa.
Most Richmond estate cleanouts run between a half truck at $431 and a full truck at $732 per load, and a decades-deep West End house is usually more than…
The landing at the top of a Fan staircase is where most sofas get stuck. It is also why so many Fan residents assume removal is expensive. A sofa is $126…
A typical Richmond garage cleanout runs from $241 for a quarter truck to $587 for three-quarters. A two-car Short Pump garage that has never been parked in…
These jobs are priced by the load: $431 for a half truck, $732 for a full one, and most Richmond homes take several. Here is how the numbers and the days…
A hot tub is $390 flat in Richmond, including the breakdown, the carry and disposal. The only real variable is how it gets out of the back yard, and that…
A sofa is $126 flat in Richmond, carried out from a third-floor Fan apartment or a Church Hill basement for the same number. Here is every other route, and…
A queen mattress is $103 removed from any floor in Richmond. A mattress and box spring together are $143 as a set. Here is what else you can do with it, and…
A standard refrigerator is $164 and a French door is $183, carried from any floor with refrigerant recovery included. The old one in the basement is the…
Priced by screen size: $62 under 42 inches, $68 up to 65, $73 above that. The tube set in the basement costs the same as the flatscreen on the wall.
A fridge is $164, a washer $133, a dryer $128. Refrigerant handling is part of the job, not an add-on, and the retailer's free haul-away only exists on…
Four red flags settle it: a deposit before anyone has seen the job, a price quoted only on arrival, nothing in writing, and cash only. Here is the rest of…
Richmond sits in a humid river valley, and an unconditioned basement spends four months of the year damp. Most basement clear-outs run between $241 and $587.
Yes. Illegal dumping is an enforced offense everywhere in the Richmond metro, and doing it properly costs $126 for a sofa. Here is the line between legal…
The whole list, in public. $75 minimum, $126 for a sofa, $732 for a full truck. Disposal is inside every number and nothing is added on the day.
A dumpster rents you space. Removal buys you labor. In a city where half the housing has no driveway and a staircase that turns, that distinction does most…
The difference is not the truck. It is whether you know the price before a crew is standing in your Fan District hallway. Ours is published: sofa $126, full…
Most Richmond turnovers are a quarter to a half truck — $241 to $431 — and you can price one from your inspection photos before the tenant has finished…
Three jurisdictions, three sets of rules, one humid climate that ruins a mattress in a week. Here is how disposal actually works — and the flat price if it…
A mattress is four recyclable materials stapled together. Whether you can get them separated near Richmond is a different question from whether they are…
What you are not taking usually costs between $241 and $732 to clear in Richmond. The single best move is booking the truck for the day after the movers,…
A usable rear alley turns a Museum District pickup from a long front-hall carry into a ten-minute job. An unusable one changes nothing about the price, only…
Richmond renovation debris is heavier than it looks, because it is mostly plaster and lath. Priced by volume: $120 construction debris, $219 per quarter…
A 5x5 is usually a quarter truck at $241. A 10x10 packed to the roller door is a full truck at $732. The facility's access rules decide the schedule, not…
The $74 in the ad is almost never the price of your job. Here is what the number usually refers to, and what the real Richmond flat rates are: $75 minimum,…
A TV is $62 to $73 depending on size, carried out from any floor. The old rear-projection set in the basement is the same price as the flatscreen on the wall.
A sofa is $126 removed. A DIY rental day is rarely just the daily rate — here is what a real Richmond dump run actually costs in money and hours.

Not a range, not a "starting at". Here are actual Richmond jobs by neighborhood with the arithmetic shown, from the $75 minimum to a $732 full truck.
Five routes, and four of them fail under conditions half of Richmond has. Here is the decision tree, ending at a sofa for $126 and a loveseat for $119.
Sorted, not tipped. Donation first, then metal and recycling, then disposal — and Richmond's humidity decides more of that split than most people expect.
Four different people will take an old appliance off your hands in Richmond, and three of them have conditions. A fridge removed on your schedule is $164,…
The cheapest quote in Richmond is often the one with no insurance behind it. In a 1900s rowhouse with original plaster, that is a bad trade for the sake of…
