Junk & Rubbish Removal in Mabalacat City

Almost always by volume — the fraction of the truck or van your junk fills — plus surcharges for heavy materials (rubble, soil) and hard-to-dispose items (mattresses, fridges, tyres). Most companies have a minimum charge for a single-item pickup. Labour to carry items out is normally included; long carries, stairs and dismantling can add fees.

Yes — house clearances (post-tenancy, hoarding, bereavement) are a core service. Expect a site visit for quoting, a crew for a full day or more, and pricing by total volume plus any specialist items. Ask about their process for found valuables and documents, and whether they broom-sweep rooms after clearing; good firms do both as standard.

They can't go to normal landfill: fridges need refrigerant degassing, TVs and monitors contain regulated e-waste components, and mattresses are bulky and increasingly required to be recycled. The surcharge (per item) covers the specialist disposal route. If a company charges nothing extra for these, ask where they're taking them.

Send photos of the pile with something for scale, list large items individually, and mention access (floor, stairs, distance to parking). Volume-based quotes from photos are usually accurate within one price band; on-site quotes are worth it for whole-house clearances. Always confirm whether the quote includes labour, disposal fees and tax.

A small-truck trip with crew typically costs PHP 1,500-5,000 depending on volume and distance, a full elf truck PHP 3,000-8,000, and whole-house clearouts PHP 5,000-20,000. Selling metals and appliances to a junk shop first can offset a meaningful share of the cost.

Often yes — junk shops (bakal-bote buyers) pay per kilo for metals, appliances, batteries, cardboard and some plastics, and many collect from your address. Have them strip out saleable material first, then pay a hauler only for the genuinely worthless remainder.
