What Does Furniture Disposal Cost?

Furniture disposal and junk removal in Gauteng is normally priced by how much there is to take, measured by load size or volume, not per item. Every job is different, so the figures below are indicative Gauteng ranges to help you budget before you get a free, exact quote.

Job sizeTypical exampleIndicative price
A few itemsOne or two pieces, e.g. a couch and a mattressfrom R450
Quarter to half loadA single room or bedroom clear-outR700 – R1,400
Full bakkie / van loadAbout 2.5 m³, e.g. a flat’s excess furnitureR1,200 – R2,500
Small truck / multiple loadsA garage, large flat or part-house clear-outR2,500 – R5,000
Full house or estate clearanceA whole property, every room and outbuildingQuoted on site

Indicative Gauteng ranges, updated 2026. These are a guide only, not a fixed tariff. Your final price depends on the volume, the access at your property (stairs, complexes, distance to the truck), your suburb, and how much can be donated or recycled versus taken to a licensed dump.

A few things move the price up or down: the volume of items (the single biggest factor), access such as stairs, lifts and estate boom gates, your location within Gauteng, whether items are heavy white goods or awkward pieces like pianos and safes, and disposal fees where waste must go to a licensed landfill rather than to reuse. The best way to get an accurate figure is to send us a short list or a few photos on WhatsApp, or use our online cost calculator.

When People Call Us for a Clear-Out

Moving House

Clearing the furniture you are not taking with you, ideally on the same day as your removal so it is all done in one visit.

Deceased Estates

Respectfully emptying a loved one’s home, with items kept for family, donated or disposed of exactly as the family wishes.

Furniture Disposal & Junk Removal Across Gauteng

Careful Movers collects unwanted furniture and junk right across Gauteng. From Sandton, Randburg and the northern suburbs of Johannesburg to Pretoria and Centurion in the north, out to Kempton Park, Benoni and Boksburg on the East Rand, Roodepoort and Krugersdorp on the West Rand, and Soweto and the south. If you are anywhere in Gauteng, we will reach you, usually same day or next day. Not sure if we cover your suburb? Give us a call, we almost certainly do.

Responsible Disposal, Donation & Recycling

We believe a clear-out should not simply mean everything goes to landfill. Wherever items are still usable, we aim to divert them to reuse and recycling first. Good-condition furniture and appliances can go to charities across Gauteng that welcome donations and resell them to fund their work, including Hospice charity shops such as HospiceWits, the SPCA, and Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore. Recyclable materials and e-waste, like old computers, TVs and appliances, are separated and routed to the right recyclers rather than thrown out with general waste. Only what cannot be reused or recycled is taken to a licensed disposal facility. If you would like specific items donated, just tell us and we will handle it as part of the clearance.
