Upstairs doubles
Two-unit up-and-down houses are a Cleveland signature, and moving out of the upper unit means a long back stair. Dropcurb collects what's already been carried down. JunkRabbit crews carry it, with no stairs fee.
Snow Belt season
From mid-November, lake-effect snow buries tree lawns, especially in the Heights. A curbside pickup needs items outside and accessible. JunkRabbit crews take items from inside the house, whatever the weather is doing.
Not just bulk week
The City collects bulk only in the first full week of each month. JunkRabbit books a 2-hour arrival window any day, 7 days a week from 8am to midnight, with same-day pickup when you book by 4 PM. Dropcurb schedules pickup for a day, with a 2 PM same-day cutoff.
