The best junk removal software for small businesses in 2026

By the Full Collar team · Updated October 24, 2026 · 6 min read

The short answer

For a small junk removal business, the software needs to quote by the truck load (1/4, 1/2, 3/4, full) plus item fees, take payment on site and schedule pickups. Full Collar ($20/month, $75 for up to 5 users) and QuoteIQ ($29.99/month for one user) are the budget options; Jobber and Housecall Pro are general field service apps that work with preset line items; Workiz and Hauler Hero are quote-only and aimed at bigger operations.

Full disclosure: Full Collar is our product. We’ve tried to be fair about where other tools fit better, and every competitor price is the public list price with the date we checked it.

What junk removal software has to do

Volume pricing — 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 and full truck loads, plus single-item pickups.
Item and disposal fees — mattresses, tires, appliances, paint, hot tubs, dump fees.
Quote on site and get paid before you pull away — card, cash or check.
Online booking or a request form with photos, so you can price before you drive out.
Scheduling for one or two trucks without a dispatcher.
Review requests — junk removal lives on Google reviews.

Full Collar, Jobber and Housecall Pro: each company’s pricing page, checked October 2026. QuoteIQ: its 2026 pricing help article (new subscriptions from October 2026). Workiz hid most plan prices in May 2026 (per PricingSaaS); Hauler Hero lists no public price on GetApp.

Full Collar

Pick junk removal when you sign up and the price book starts with truck loads (quarter, half, three-quarter, full), single items, mattresses, appliances, tires, hot tubs and pianos, shed teardowns, construction debris by the load, extra labor and a job minimum — change them to your prices. Quote on site, the customer signs on your phone, and you log cash or check or take a card through your own Stripe account (no cut from us). Review requests, QuickBooks Online sync, deposits and change orders are on every plan.

Where it falls short: no routing or dumpster inventory tracking, and no marketing suite. See junk removal software.

QuoteIQ

QuoteIQ markets heavily to junk removal and other owner-operators, with a lot of tools in the box. The Essentials plan is $29.99/month for one user; QuickBooks integration and job costing start on Pro ($199.99/month for 4 users), and automated review requests on Elite ($299.99/month for 10 users). Extra users are $25/month each.

Jobber and Housecall Pro

Both work fine for junk removal once you set up line items for each load size and fee. They cost more as soon as a second person needs a login: for five users billed monthly, Jobber is $199 (Connect) or $299 (Grow) and Housecall Pro Essentials is $189. See Jobber pricing in 2026 and Jobber vs Housecall Pro.

Workiz and Hauler Hero

Workiz is popular with service companies that live on the phone (call tracking, online booking) and moved most plans to “request pricing” in 2026. Hauler Hero is built for waste and recycling haulers — routes, roll-offs and dispatch — and is more than a one- or two-truck junk business usually needs. Both are worth a demo if you’re running several trucks.

Questions

What is the best software for a small junk removal business?

For 1–5 people, look for truck-load quoting, on-site payment and review requests at a low per-crew price. Full Collar ($20/month, $75 for up to 5 users) and QuoteIQ ($29.99/month for one user) are the budget options; Jobber and Housecall Pro are capable general apps that cost more for teams (prices checked October 2026).

How do I price junk removal by the truck load?

Set prices for 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 and full loads, add item fees for things that cost you to dump (mattresses, tires, appliances), and keep a job minimum. Save them as price book items so a quote is a few taps on site.

Can I take payment on site?

Yes, with most of these apps. In Full Collar you can log cash or check or take a card through your own Stripe account, and we add no fee on top of Stripe’s.
