Why Is Indy Pickup 1111 Free?

Traditional junk removal companies charge you to haul items to a dump, then pay landfill fees on top of that. Our model works differently. We own our own salvage yard at 3013 Stanley Avenue. When we pick up your old washer, we are not hauling it to a dump. We are bringing raw material to our recycling facility. The 150 to 200 pounds of steel and copper inside has real market value. That is why we do not need to charge you.

Pricing FAQs

Junk Removal Pricing Questions

Junk removal in Indianapolis typically costs between $99 and $500+ depending on the company and items. 1-800-GOT-JUNK starts at $249 for most items. Fire Dawgs has a $99 minimum. Junk King requires a quote. Indy Pickup 1111 picks up all metal items for free and charges published flat rates for non-metal items (couches $65, mattresses $20-$35, TVs $15-$70).
Yes. Indy Pickup 1111 offers free pickup for any item where the majority of its weight is metal. That includes washers, dryers, water heaters, stoves, scrap metal piles, and 60+ other items. The service is free because IP1111 is a recycling company, not a junk removal company. The scrap metal itself has commodity value, which pays for the service.
1-800-GOT-JUNK pricing in Indianapolis starts at $249 for a single item like an appliance or small load. Larger loads can run $400-$700+. They use volume-based pricing, meaning the cost depends on how much space your items take up in their truck. There is no published price list. You receive a quote on-site before they begin.
For metal items (appliances, scrap metal, grills, exercise equipment, etc.), the cheapest option is Indy Pickup 1111, which picks them up for free. For non-metal items like furniture and mattresses, IP1111 also tends to be the lowest cost with published flat rates: couches at $65, queen mattresses at $30, and tube TVs starting at $15.
Traditional junk removal companies haul items to a landfill and pay dump fees. Their pricing has to cover labor, fuel, truck costs, and disposal fees. That is why you see minimums of $99-$249. Indy Pickup 1111 operates differently. As a recycling company, IP1111 earns revenue from the scrap metal it collects, so it does not need to charge customers for metal items.
Yes, for all items where the majority of the weight is metal. That covers 60+ items including washers, dryers, water heaters, stoves, dishwashers, grills, and scrap metal piles. A small fee applies for non-metal items (furniture, mattresses, TVs) and freon appliances like refrigerators ($20-$25). All pricing is published at indypickup1111.com/paid-services with no hidden fees.
