Junk removal in Kitsap County, WA costs about $150 to $798 per load in 2026. Bouchard Hauling & Removal prices by how much space your junk takes up in the trailer: a single-item minimum pickup is $150, a quarter trailer (3.75 cubic yards) is $312, a half trailer (7.5 cubic yards) is $474, and a full 15-cubic-yard trailer is $798. Labor, loading, disposal fees and cleanup are all included in that number. What moves your price is volume first, then weight, access and whether anything in the pile needs special handling at the transfer station.
That last part is where most Kitsap County quotes go sideways. The county charges haulers by the ton at the Olympic View Transfer Station in Bremerton, so a trailer of wet carpet and sheetrock costs far more to dump than the same trailer of cardboard. Below is what Bouchard charges across Bremerton, Silverdale, Port Orchard, Poulsbo and Bainbridge Island, the county’s own 2026 tipping fees, and how to keep your load in a smaller price bracket.
Bouchard Hauling & Removal publishes flat, volume-based rates rather than making you guess. These are the current posted prices for junk removal in Kitsap County, and they are the same whether the truck is headed to Bremerton, Silverdale or Bainbridge Island.

A full trailer at $798 works out to roughly $53 per cubic yard; the quarter-trailer rate is about $83 per cubic yard. Bigger loads are cheaper per unit of junk, so it usually pays to clear the whole garage in one visit rather than booking two small pickups. The full rate card and current promotions are on the Bouchard junk removal pricing page.
Every honest junk removal quote in Kitsap County has county tipping fees baked into it. Kitsap County Public Works sets those rates, and the schedule below took effect January 1, 2026 at the Olympic View Transfer Station at 9380 SW Barney White Road in Bremerton. Washington’s 3.6% solid waste collection tax applies on top of most waste transactions.
| Material | Kitsap County 2026 fee | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum fee | $42 (tax included) | Applies to loads up to 650 lbs |
| Garbage / solid waste | $128.94 per ton + tax | The standard household rate |
| Bulky waste | $249.96 per ton + tax | Non-compactable items, e.g. boats |
| Appliances | $29 each, recycled | Must be empty; no commercial units |
| Yard waste (weekends) | $145.08 per ton, recycled | Weekdays charged as solid waste |
| Electronics | No charge, recycled | Limit ten per person, per day |
| Asbestos | $379.32 per ton + tax | Appointment and pre-approval |
| Unsecured load fee | $10 per vehicle | Required by state and county law |
Two numbers there explain a lot of Kitsap County pricing. Bulky waste costs nearly twice as much per ton as regular garbage, so a hot tub shell, an old boat or a broken-down camper carries a real disposal premium. Asbestos at $379.32 per ton is almost three times the garbage rate — which is why suspect material from a pre-1990 Bremerton or Port Orchard home must be tested, not tossed in a trailer.
Not every company in Kitsap County quotes the same way, and the model matters more than the headline number. Hourly billing exposes you to slow access and bad weather. Per-item pricing adds up fast past three or four pieces. Bouchard uses volume pricing with disposal included, so you get a firm quote on site before anyone touches the pile. For a garage cleanout in Kitsap County, most households land in the half-to-three-quarter trailer range, or $474 to $636.
A Bouchard residential junk removal price includes all lifting and loading, every disposal and recycling fee, a sweep-up once the trailer is loaded, and same-day or next-day service when the schedule allows. There is no fuel surcharge and no dump-fee line item added after the fact.
What is not included matters just as much. For crew safety and legal reasons, Bouchard does not accept hazardous materials, flammables, caustic substances or paints of any kind in a junk pickup — Kitsap County residents take those to a household hazardous waste facility instead. Asbestos is separate entirely: Bouchard is licensed for asbestos testing and abatement as a dedicated service, which is not the same as throwing suspect material into a junk trailer. If your Bremerton rambler predates 1990 and you are pulling up flooring or popcorn ceiling, test it first.
Sometimes, if the load is small and light. Take an 800-pound pickup load of household garbage: at the county’s 2026 rate of $128.94 per ton, that is $51.58 plus the 3.6% solid waste tax, or roughly $53 at the scale house. Add a $10 fee if the load is not tarped, plus fuel, your own loading time, and the round trip to Barney White Road during the station’s 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily hours.
That math works for one truckload of light boxes. It stops working the moment you are dealing with a couch that will not fit down the stairs, a dead appliance or a full garage — and it assumes you own a truck and a tarp. Past a single manageable load, the gap between $53 in dump fees and a $312 quarter-trailer service call is buying back a Saturday.
According to Angi’s 2026 junk removal cost data, junk removal runs $60 to $850 nationally, with most homeowners paying around $250 per job and a full truckload landing between $400 and $800. Coastal and metro markets typically run above that average.
Kitsap County sits inside the Puget Sound market, so expect prices at or slightly above the national midpoint. Bouchard’s $798 full-trailer rate lands at the top of Angi’s national full-load range while including disposal, labor and cleanup — the honest comparison to make. Phone quotes that look dramatically cheaper usually add tipping fees, fuel or stair charges once the crew is in your driveway.
Bouchard Hauling & Removal is veteran-owned and family-operated, founded by Spencer Bouchard, a U.S. Navy Seabees veteran, and Paul Bouchard, a certified general contractor. Operating out of Belfair and covering all of Kitsap, Mason and Pierce counties, the crew is licensed, bonded and insured and works seven days a week from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. In a Navy town like Bremerton, the veteran connection is not marketing — it is the same community. The disposal philosophy is donation-first: usable items are redirected to The Bouchard Boutique resale shop in Belfair or donated to local charities, so what actually reaches the Olympic View Transfer Station is what genuinely has nowhere else to go.
Junk removal in Kitsap County costs $150 for a single-item minimum pickup and up to $798 for a full 15-cubic-yard trailer in 2026. Most residential jobs fall between $312 and $636 depending on how much space the junk takes up. Labor, disposal fees and cleanup are included in Bouchard’s posted rate.
A dumpster is cheaper per cubic yard but you do all the loading and carry the weight-overage risk. Junk removal costs more per yard and includes the crew, disposal and cleanup. For a one-day cleanout, junk removal usually wins on total cost of time; for a multi-week remodel where debris accumulates daily, a dumpster rental makes more sense.
Kitsap County charges a $42 minimum fee, tax included, for loads up to 650 pounds at the Olympic View Transfer Station in Bremerton. Above that, household garbage is $128.94 per ton plus the 3.6% state solid waste tax, effective January 1, 2026. An unsecured or untarped load adds a $10 fee, which is required by state and county law.
The on-site quote accounts for access, stairs and item weight before any work starts, so no surprise surcharge is added afterward. Difficult access does influence the estimate, which is why Bouchard prices the job after seeing it rather than over the phone. Every estimate is free with no obligation.
Bouchard does not accept hazardous materials, flammables, caustic substances or paints of any kind in a junk pickup, and it does not take scrap metal for free. Asbestos-containing material is never hauled as junk — it requires licensed testing and abatement, which Bouchard offers as a separate service with county pre-approval and a $379.32 per ton disposal rate.
