Junk Removal Contract Template

You quoted the job, the truck is booked — now you want the customer to sign something before your crew starts loading. This is a free, no-signup junk removal service agreement you fill in on this page and print or save as a PDF. It assembles from a clause library built for hauling work: a prohibited-items exclusion, a disposal-fee pass-through, access terms, and a place for both parties to sign. Nothing uploads, and nothing is stored beyond your browser.

Put prohibited and hazardous items in writing

The clause that earns its keep on a junk removal job is the one that lists what you won’t take. A customer clearing out a garage will absolutely try to slip in old paint cans, a half-full propane tank, motor oil, or a stack of car batteries — the household hazardous waste the EPA flags for special handling, and exactly what a transfer station will reject at the gate. Without a written exclusion, you’re stuck choosing between hauling something you can’t legally dump and arguing with a paying customer in their driveway.

The agreement’s hazardous-items clause names the common exclusions and states that prohibited material is the customer’s responsibility to dispose of separately. That one paragraph turns an on-site argument into a line you can point to.

Disposal and dump fees are a pass-through, not a guess

The other thing a hauling contract has to get right is money — specifically, that the disposal fee is separate from your haul price. Tipping fees change by facility, by weight, and by whether the load is clean fill, mixed waste, or something that needs a special line. The agreement keeps your labor/haul charge and the disposal pass-through on their own editable lines so the customer sees that a heavier-than-quoted load costs more, and why.

Every dollar figure in the document is a blank you fill — the template never prints a rate or a fee as if it were a standard. Work out the load price first with the junk removal volume pricing calculator, then drop your number into the agreement.

Access, parking, and what “haul” means

Hauling disputes are usually about scope: a “garage cleanout” that turns out to include a shed, a basement two flights down, or a couch that won’t fit through the door. The load-size and access clauses pin down where the crew is expected to carry from, who clears parking and gate access, and that anything beyond the described scope is a change to the price, not a freebie. Spell the address and the described load into the scope field and the rest of the document reads as one agreement, not a loose verbal quote.

Payment, deposit, and cancellation

The agreement carries standard payment terms, an optional deposit line for larger or scheduled jobs, and a cancellation notice clause — each one editable, each one off by default if it doesn’t fit how you book. None of them assume a percentage or a window for you; a deposit policy and a cancellation fee are business decisions, and the template leaves them as blanks to set.

When the job’s done, this document isn’t your invoice. Send a quote before the haul if the customer wants the number in writing first, and bill the finished job on a service invoice.

What it is — and isn’t

Think of this as paperwork you print for a customer to sign, not software that runs your books. It stores no customer database, collects no money, and carries no attorney’s sign-off — the not-legal-advice line at the foot of every copy says as much, because it is a starting-point template and nothing more. Before you lean on it for anything you might have to defend, ask a licensed attorney in your state to read it against your local rules.
