Price the pile. Plan the truck. Finish the junk job.
ScaleYourJunk is junk removal and dumpster rental software for online booking, phone intake, dispatch, drivers and billing. Housecall Pro offers general field service with customer booking, phone and reception options. Compare the actual work, not just matching feature names.

- Your truckload prices online
- Price agreed before loading
- Dump records with the work
Which product fits your operation?
Compare truckload-price guidance, the actual onsite pile agreement and dump-run records for junk-only work. If you also rent dumpsters, ScaleYourJunk keeps both service lines together.
ScaleYourJunk is best for
Customer-selected load guidance- An onsite price agreement before work starts
- A documented container lifecycle, from reservation to return
- Junk removal and dumpster rentals in one hauling system
Housecall Pro is good for
Configurable service estimating- Mobile job administration
- A managed website option
- AI, your own phone staff or paid live reception
A solo junk-only operator may not need rental inventory at all. For a larger team, match users, field tools and call coverage to the purchased plan before comparing costs.
Built for hauling
Three parts of the junk job to compare
Run your day
Price the actual pile. Plan the truck.
Record a before photo and the signed onsite price. Growth plans junk routes around capacity and dump stops, while rental routes remain manual.
See where your money goes
Record the dump costs. Review what remains.
Keep dump receipts, weight and costs with the work. Reports use recorded income and costs; the result still needs missing expenses and overhead. Growth adds truck-level analysis.

FAQ

How do monthly and annual billing work?
Choose monthly billing or annual billing at 20% off. There is no setup fee or cancellation penalty; access continues through the paid period. Subscription payments are generally non-refundable. Card processing/platform fees are separate.
Will the AI quote my junk pickup?
It books junk visits during enabled coverage; your crew agrees the price on site. For rentals it can quote your configured rates and check availability. Dumpster routes remain manually arranged.
