Hampton Roads, VA
Junk Removal in Chesapeake, VA
Chesapeake covers more land area than Norfolk, Portsmouth, and Virginia Beach combined, which means hauler drive distances inside the city vary wildly. A Greenbrier hauler picking up in Hickory drives a different route than a downtown Norfolk hauler, and that shows up honestly in the bids.
What Chesapeake customers usually haul
Suburban garage and shed cleanouts
Greenbrier and Great Bridge homes that have collected years of garage clutter.
Yard waste from large lots
Hickory and Western Branch lots produce more brush than the average curbside service handles.
Boat and RV outbuilding teardowns
Suburban Chesapeake has more outbuildings per capita than the urban core cities.
Typical bids range $80 to $400+ depending on volume, access, and items. Single mattresses run $80 to $160; full pickup loads $240 to $420; estate or large garage cleanouts $600+.

Chesapeake junk removal FAQ
- How much does junk removal cost in Chesapeake?
- Single items typically run $60 to $220, a half-truck cleanout $140 to $260, and a full pickup truck $240 to $420. Chesapeake bids may include a slightly larger drive-time component for jobs in Hickory or south of Great Bridge.
- Where do Chesapeake haulers dump?
- SPSA operates the Chesapeake Transfer Station at 901 Hollowell Lane (23320). Chesapeake residents get the SPSA 12-free-visits-per-year benefit; overage is $78 per ton (city pass-through above the SPSA $65 base). Chesapeake does not operate its own landfill.
- Do haulers cover all of Chesapeake including Hickory and Hanbury?
- Yes, but bids from southernmost areas may be slightly higher to cover fuel + drive time back to the transfer station. The bid you see reflects the actual cost, not a flat-rate average.
- Can a hauler take down a backyard shed in Greenbrier?
- Yes, shed teardown is a common Chesapeake request. Pricing depends on size, materials (wood vs metal), and whether the foundation needs to come out too. Include shed dimensions and a few photos in the job.
- Are tires accepted curbside in Chesapeake?
- No, Chesapeake does not pick up tires curbside. Tires need to go to the SPSA Regional Landfill in Suffolk for proper disposal. PoofHaul haulers handling Chesapeake tire jobs include the trip in their bid.
