How much does junk removal cost in Tampa?

Ready 1 Dump Trailers prices are on the page. One piece runs $100. A quarter trailer is $150. Half is $300. Three-quarters is $450. Full trailer is $600. That includes labor (we load it) and dumping. Drop-off self-load trailer rentals start at $400 with the first ton free.

What is the difference between hauling and trailer rental?

Hauling means we show up, load your stuff, and take it away - you don't lift anything. Trailer rental means we drop a dump trailer at your driveway, you load it on your own schedule, and we come back to haul it. Hauling is faster and easier; rental is cheaper for week-long jobs and lets your own crew load.

Do you take hot tubs, refrigerators, and old appliances?

Yes. Hot tubs, refrigerators, washing machines, dryers, AC units, water heaters. We do this every week and know how to move it without damage. A single hot tub is usually a quarter trailer ($150).

Do you do post-hurricane cleanup in Tampa?

Yes, and we run a tight queue once a storm clears. Fallen tree limbs, palm fronds, blown-down fencing, shingles, soaked drywall. Call as soon as you can - the first wave of customers gets pickup faster.

No chemicals - that means no paint, no oil, no fuel, no batteries, no liquid hazardous material. We follow Hillsborough, Pinellas, Manatee, Sarasota, Pasco, and Polk county rules. If you're not sure, call and ask before we drive out.

How fast can Ready 1 Dump Trailers get to my location?

Same day where we can, usually if you call before 1 PM weekdays. Otherwise, next business day. Tampa proper is fastest; further out areas like Sarasota or Spring Hill get worked into the route. Service area covers Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Brandon, Lakeland, Sarasota, Bradenton, Plant City, Wesley Chapel, and Spring Hill.

About Ready 1 Dump Trailers

One guy, one trailer, one phone number. Ben Thomas runs every job himself across the Tampa Bay metro.

Who runs it

Ben Thomas, Owner and Operator

Ready 1 Dump Trailers is not a franchise and not a call-center. Ben Thomas owns it, runs it, and shows up to the job. Same guy who answers the phone is the same guy you see step out of the truck.

That structure is the point. No layers. No "let me check with my supervisor." No subcontractor surprises. You call, Ben quotes, Ben drives the trailer, Ben hauls it. If something changes mid-job you talk to the person who can actually decide.

The trade-off: Ready 1 Dump is one truck, one calendar. Same-day in Tampa if you call before 1 PM on a weekday. Beyond that, a couple days out depending on volume. Up front, not led on.

Local. Not a franchise.

Sponsor of the Tampa Kickball Society

Ben has refereed in the Tampa Kickball Society league for years, and Ready 1 Dump Trailers is one of the league's sponsors. Local owner, local trailer, local league.

It is not a marketing line. The reason a Tampa neighbor calls Ready 1 Dump for a hot tub haul on a Saturday is the same reason a kickball team picks up the same number when they need a trailer for tournament setup. People show up for the people who show up for them.
