2. What JunkRabbit is built for in Cleveland
Basements
The city's median home was built in 1941, and nearly every house has a basement holding freezers, water heaters and decades of boxes. Crews carry everything up with no stairs fee. See basement cleanout cost in Cleveland.
Upstairs doubles
Two-unit up-and-down houses are 14.5% of the city's homes, and more than one in five in Old Brooklyn, Clark–Fulton and Slavic Village. See moving out of an upstairs double.
Any week, not just bulk week
The City collects bulk only in the first full week of each month, three items per home. Pickups run every week. See bulk week vs junk removal.
Snow Belt winters
Lake-effect snow from mid-November until the lake freezes buries tree lawns, especially in the east-side Heights. Crews come inside instead. See junk removal in a Snow Belt winter.

6. How a pickup works
- See the price. Pick items or upload a photo at cleveland.getjunkrabbit.com. The total appears on screen, with no call and no phone number needed to see it.
- Book. Choose an arrival window, any day 8am to midnight, and add a card. Same-day is available if booked by 4 PM.
- (If needed) COI. Add the managing agent at checkout; the certificate goes out within 1 hour.
- Pickup. A vetted, insured local hauler comes inside, takes items from any floor, disassembles if needed and carries everything out. You get text updates on the day.
- Price check. If there are extra items that weren't in the booking, the crew shows the updated price and waits for your approval before loading them.
- Disposal. We try to donate usable items when local charities accept them and recycle whatever we can; refrigerants are recovered from fridges and AC units.
7. vs Bulk week
The City of Cleveland collects up to three bulk items per home, on the home's regular collection day, during the first full week of each month. Mattresses and cloth furniture must be wrapped in plastic, appliances drained of coolants and fluids, and construction, renovation and demolition waste is not accepted; e-waste is drop-off only. City residents can also use the Ridge Road Transfer Station (3727 Ridge Rd, Monday to Saturday 9 to 3, up to 4 cubic yards per visit) and the Carr Center (5600 Carnegie Ave). Suburbs such as Lakewood, Cleveland Heights, Shaker Heights, Parma and Euclid run their own rules.
If it is the first full week and you have three or fewer items you can wrap and carry to the tree lawn, use bulk week. JunkRabbit is for everything else: any other week, more than three items, basement and upper-floor carry-outs, appliances, renovation debris, electronics and move-outs, which Cleveland Heights says it does not accept as bulk. See 5 things Cleveland bulk pickup won't take.
8. vs national operators
National franchises such as 1-800-GOT-JUNK and Junk King typically quote by truck volume and confirm the final price once the crew sees the job. JunkRabbit publishes a flat price for each item online, so the total is known before booking, and the job is done by a vetted, insured local hauler. There is no stairs fee and no same-day surcharge. See JunkRabbit vs 1-800-GOT-JUNK in Cleveland for a side-by-side.

Will the price change when the crew arrives?
No surprise charges. The price is set when you book and only changes if you approve it, for example if there are extra items that weren't in the booking.
Do you provide a certificate of insurance (COI) for my building?

We take paint ($30 a gallon can, $52 a 5-gallon bucket). We don't take hazardous materials as standard, but can sometimes help case by case, so send a photo and ask before booking.
