Junk removal software with load pricing, routes and a dump log.

Junk removal business software for the whole job in one offline file: a load pricing calculator that shows the price, the time, the dump fee and your net dollars per hour as you type, route scheduling with an arrival time at every stop, recurring pickup plans that schedule themselves, a dump and recycling log with your diversion rate, and real margin on every job. Software for a junk removal business, bought once, with no monthly fee.

Most junk removal scheduling software is rented by the month, and the records live on somebody else’s server. This one is a file you own, with the hauling-specific parts built in.

Key benefits

💵

One-time payment

No monthly fee, no per-user charge and no yearly renewal. The price you see is the whole price.

🚚

Priced by the load

Cubic yards, material, access and special items in; price, time, dump fee and net dollars per hour out.

🗺️

Routes with arrival times

♻️

Dump and recycling log

Every scale ticket, every ton, and the share of what you hauled that was recycled, donated or reused.

What this junk removal software does

Everything a small junk removal business runs on, in one place.

You get a dashboard, a calendar, reports, load pricing, route scheduling, a list of every route stop and a dump and recycling log. Leads, quotes, clients, recurring pickup plans and jobs sit alongside tasks, a service log, change orders, safety records, callbacks and client requests.

Employees, subcontractors, suppliers, trucks and equipment and inventory are tracked, and invoices, purchase orders, expenses and timesheets are included. You can export to CSV or JSON backup, and the app runs in English and Spanish.

Load pricing for junk removal

Type the cubic yards, or tap 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 or Full truck to fill it from your truck size. Pick the material, the access and the crew size, and count mattresses, refrigerators, TVs, sofas, tires and other special items separately.

Price, estimated time (with trips to the dump), the dump fee and your net dollars per labor hour update as you type, and the screen warns you when a job falls below your target. The rate card, minimum charge and dump fee per ton are yours to edit.

Junk removal route scheduling

Pick a date, add stops and set the first start time. The app works out the arrival time at every stop from the drive minutes and on-site minutes you enter, and shows stops, cubic yards, work time, drive time, route revenue and revenue per route hour.

Reorder with the arrows and the times recalculate. Print a one-page route sheet for the crew with a box to tick off each stop.

Dump & recycling log

Log each scale ticket with the facility, the job, the material, the weight and the fee, and mark whether it went to landfill or was recycled, donated or reused. Reports shows the tons hauled, the disposal fees and your diversion rate for any date range.

Recurring pickup plans

Property-manager, builder and turnover plans know their cubic yards, minutes and price per visit. A visit that comes due appears under Recurring Visits Due, one click adds it to the day, and marking the stop Done sets the last visit and works out the next one.

Quotes that start from the load

Create Quote on the pricing screen turns the estimate into a draft quote with one line for the load and one per special item, with markup and tax, printed on your own letterhead. Leads move from the first call to won or lost, and one button turns a lead into a client.

Real margin after the dump

Job price is the quote plus approved add-ons. Cost is the expenses booked to the job, dump fees included, plus crew hours times their rate. The job cards show cost against progress, so a job spending faster than it is being finished is visible before it is a problem.

Junk removal software, honestly

Heavy lifting, dump runs and a truck to keep running.

Junk work means lifting, securing loads, scale tickets and the occasional callback for something left behind. The software you choose should track that, and it should say where its limits are.

Callbacks and the service log

Items left behind, mess to sweep up and missed rooms are tracked with who is fixing them and by when. The service log keeps the weather, crew, hours, work done, dump tickets and delays for every visit.

Safety, trucks and equipment

Toolbox talks, lifting and back safety, load securement checks, near misses and corrective actions are logged. Fleet & Equipment keeps your trucks, trailers, dollies and rentals, owned or rented, with the job each is on and its next service date. Bags, straps, tarps and gloves warn you when stock runs low.

Works with no signal

The file runs offline in your browser, on a laptop or tablet, in the office or the truck. Nothing needs a connection once it is downloaded.

What it does not do

No GPS or live fleet tracking, no map or automatic driving directions, no texts or emails sent from the app, no client portal, no online booking form, no photo library, no card processing and no two people editing at once.

How a junk removal job runs

From the phone call to paid in four steps.

1

Price the load

Enter the cubic yards, material, access and special items. See the price, the time, the dump fee and your net dollars per hour, then turn it into a quote in one click.

2

Put it on the route

Add the stop to the day, set the drive and on-site minutes, and every arrival time recalculates. Print the route sheet for the crew.

3

Haul it and log the dump

Mark the stop Done and log the scale ticket. The recurring plan rolls forward, and the service log and timesheets keep the crew and hours behind the job.

4

Invoice and collect

Raise the invoice, record the payment and see what is still owed. Margin updates as hours and expenses are booked.

Why haulers switch

You are not really choosing between two junk removal business software solutions.

Most junk removal software is rented by the month, and the records live on somebody else’s server. Spreadsheets are free but cannot price a load by the cubic yard, work out an arrival time at every stop or roll a recurring plan forward.

This junk removal software is a file you own, with the hauling-specific parts built in.

The subscription column is a general description of junk removal software sold by the month, not a claim about any single company — features and pricing differ, so check each site.

OwnDesk Junk is single-computer software: it does not sync between devices, show a map, track trucks by GPS, send messages, keep photos or process card payments.

Need it to work exactly the way your junk removal business does?

I can adapt OwnDesk Junk to the way your junk removal business works: your own fields, your quotes, your reports, or two OwnDesk products combined into one. It’s still a one-time payment, it still runs offline, and it’s yours. I built the software, and I build your version myself.

  • Your own load tiers, with surcharges for mattresses, appliances and stairs
  • A donation receipt that prints for the customer
  • Realtor and property manager accounts, with one monthly statement

Custom builds start at $490, paid in two halves: 50% to start, 50% after you’ve tested it.

Questions

Before you buy.

What is junk removal software?
Junk removal software is the tool a hauling business runs its quotes, jobs, route and repeat customers in. For junk that means sizing a load in cubic yards, knowing the price, the time and what the dump will cost, lining the day's stops up in driving order, and logging every dump ticket afterwards. This one puts all of it in one offline file, so a load price becomes a quote, a job and a stop on the route.
Is this software for a junk removal business with one truck?
Yes, it is built for an owner-operator or a small crew with one office computer. Leads, clients, quotes, jobs, recurring plans, a service log, crew timesheets, trucks and equipment, inventory, invoices and expenses are all in the one file. There are no user accounts, so it is not for a company with several offices all editing at once.
Is it junk removal route software?
It does the routing arithmetic, not the map. You pick a date, add the stops and type the drive minutes and on-site minutes for each. The app works out the arrival time at every stop, the work time, the drive time, the cubic yards and the revenue per route hour, and prints a one-page route sheet for the crew with a box to tick off each stop. It does not use GPS, give driving directions or optimize the order of stops for you. The up and down arrows reorder the route and the times recalculate.
Does it work as junk removal fleet tracking software?
Not as live tracking. There is no GPS and no map showing where your trucks are right now. Fleet & Equipment keeps the records instead: trucks, trailers, dollies and rentals, whether each is owned or rented, which job it is on and when the next service is due. If you need live truck locations, you need a service built for that, usually sold by the month.
Can it be used as junk removal scheduling software?
Yes, for the owner who does the scheduling. Recurring plans keep the cubic yards, minutes and price per visit, the number of visits per year, the next visit and the renewal date. A visit that comes due shows up under Recurring Visits Due on Route Scheduling, one click adds it to the day, and marking the stop Done rolls the plan forward. You still enter and move the stops yourself. There is no customer booking form, and the app does not text or email customers a reminder.
What are junk removal business software solutions made of?
Usually the same handful of jobs: price a load, put it on a route, log what went to the dump, bill the customer and see what the job really made. Here that is Load Pricing, Route Scheduling, the Dump & Recycling Log, Quotes, Invoices and job margin, with leads, clients, recurring pickup plans, crew timesheets, trucks and inventory around them. It is one file you own rather than a monthly service.
Is this junk file removal software for my computer?
No. This is business software for a company that hauls junk away, not a PC cleaner. It does not delete junk files, clear caches or speed up a computer. If you were looking for a program to clean files off a PC, free tools built into Windows and macOS do that, and this is not one of them.
Is there free junk removal software, or a free download?
Not for this one. There is no free version of OwnDesk Junk; it is a single payment for the file. You can try the live demo first, with a sample junk removal company loaded, before you decide. If you searched for free computer junk removal software or the best free software to remove junk files, that is a different kind of program: a PC cleaner, not business software for a hauler.
How does load pricing work?
Type the cubic yards of junk, or tap 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 or Full truck to fill it from your truck size. Pick the material (household, construction debris, yard waste or concrete and shingles), the access (curbside, stairs, basement or attic, long carry) and the crew size, and count mattresses, refrigerators, TVs, sofas, tires and other special items separately. The price, the estimated time, the dump fee and your net dollars per labor hour update as you type. If the job falls below the target you set in the Rate Card, the screen says so before you send the quote, and Create Quote turns it into a draft quote.
Does it track dump tickets and recycling?
Yes. The Dump & Recycling Log records each scale ticket with the facility, the ticket number, the job, the material, the weight, the fee and whether it went to landfill or was recycled, donated or reused. Reports then shows the tons hauled, the disposal fees and your diversion rate for any date range. It records what you type; it does not read a scale or a ticket for you.
Does it do quotes, job costing and invoicing?
Yes. Quotes carry line items with markup and tax and print on your own letterhead. Job price is the quote plus approved add-ons, cost is expenses on the job plus crew hours times their rate, and margin is the difference, so a dump fee logged on the job shows in what it really made. Invoices can be deposit, progress, final, add-on or credit note, with Paid, Partial and Overdue worked out for you.
Can it take card payments, send texts or run payroll?
No. It records payments against an invoice and shows what is still owed, but the money moves through the terminal or app you already use. It sends no texts or emails, has no client portal, and does not run payroll or sync with accounting software. It exports CSV for your accountant.
Can several people use it at the same time?
No, and this is the honest limit worth knowing before you buy. There is no cloud sync and no shared database, so it is one computer at a time. A second computer can work from a copy by restoring a backup file, but the two copies do not merge.
Does it store before-and-after photos?
No. Photos are deliberately left out so the file stays small and fast. The service log records the weather, the crew, the hours, the work done and the dump tickets for every visit, and a callback list tracks items left behind or mess to sweep up until they are fixed.
Where are my records stored, and is there a subscription?
Records live inside your browser, on your own computer, and nothing is uploaded anywhere. Settings has a backup export and, in Chrome and Edge, an automatic backup file. Keep a backup somewhere else. There is no subscription: one payment for the file, no account, no server, no monthly fee.
Can you customize it for my junk removal business?
Yes. I can adapt OwnDesk Junk to the way your junk removal business works: your own fields, your quotes, your reports, or two OwnDesk products combined into one. It stays a one-time payment, it still runs offline, and it is yours, built by the same person who made the software. Tell me about your business and I will tell you what it would take.
