Dorm & Student Move-Out
Cleanout in NYC
Semester's over, the RA gave you a checkout time, and you've got a mini-fridge, a futon, a mattress and a stack of boxes you're not dragging home. We clear it all — from the dorm or the off-campus apartment, any floor — often same-day, so you make your checkout. Single items start at $75; a whole room is a flat $325. Upload a few photos for a price in seconds.

“Dwayne was awesome. Great communication, on time, quickly disassembled bed frame, and moved out the bed and mattress. I would definitely recommend and use again.”

“Luis and Hector were amazing! They got rid of two large couches, a mattress, and a bedframe from my Brooklyn brownstone — with 3 flights of steps in the middle of July — in under an hour. Extremely affordable as well; I got another quote for literally double the price.”

How a dorm move-out cleanout works
1. Photograph the room
The mini-fridge, futon, mattress, desk, and the boxes you're leaving. We size the pickup from the photos.
2. Flat quote in seconds
A single item from $75, a full room a flat $325 — the price is fixed before anyone shows up.
3. Gone before checkout
Vetted, insured haulers carry it down — any floor — timed to your dorm checkout, often same day.
How much does a dorm cleanout cost in NYC?
Flat pricing — a single item or a whole room, priced from a photo, the same across every floor and building.
| What you're tossing | Typical price |
|---|---|
| Mini-fridge | $155 |
| Futon | $150 |
| Twin mattress | $111 |
| Desk | $112 |
| Whole dorm room | $325 (¼ truck) |
| Shared off-campus apartment | $580–$985 (½–full truck) |
$75 minimum for a single item; add-on items are bundled into one flat truck-fill price, so a room full of stuff isn't priced piece-by-piece. We confirm the number up front from your photos and it doesn't change on pickup day.
4 ways to clear a dorm at semester's end — compared
| Option | Cost | Speed | The catch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Campus dumpster / move-out bins | Free | During move-out week | For trash, not furniture; often full, and you still haul it down yourself — mini-fridges and TVs aren't allowed in them |
| Donation drop-off | Free | Limited hours | Only good, clean items; you carry it to the drop site during finals week |
| Self-haul (rideshare/van) | ~$40–$150 | Same day if you do it | No car in the city, no help on the stairs, and you still pay to dump it |
| JunkRabbit | From $75 · room $325 | Same-day | We come to the room and carry it out, donate what's reusable — priced from a photo |
The catch with every "free" option during move-out week: you're the one carrying a mini-fridge down four flights the same week you have three finals. We do that part.
Where does the dorm mini-fridge actually go?
Not the hallway, and not the campus dumpster. A mini-fridge holds refrigerant that has to be recovered under EPA Section 608 before it's scrapped — you can't legally just toss it. And in NYC, TVs, monitors and laptops are banned from the trash under the state e-waste law, so a dead TV can't go curbside either. If you're in an off-campus apartment, DSNY will take furniture curbside on your collection night, but you have to bag the mattress and get everything down to the sidewalk yourself — during finals, on a deadline. We take the fridge, the TV, the mattress and the futon in one same-day pickup and route each correctly: refrigerant recovered, e-waste recycled, and anything still usable donated.
What we take from a dorm or student apartment
✓ We take
Mini-fridges, microwaves, futons & mattresses, desks & chairs, dressers, bookshelves, rugs, lamps, TVs & monitors, and every box and bag you're leaving behind.
✗ We can't take
Hazardous materials — paint, chemicals, propane, or medical waste. Not sure about that thing under the bed? Send a photo and we'll tell you in seconds.
♻️ We donate & recycle
Working mini-fridges, microwaves and clean furniture go to Housing Works, Habitat ReStore and GreenDrop where feasible; e-waste and metal are recycled per NYC rules — a lot of end-of-semester gear is barely used.
Near every NYC campus
Manhattan schools
NYU, Columbia, Barnard, The New School, Hunter, Baruch, Pace, Cooper Union, Fordham Lincoln Center — dorms and off-campus apartments in the Village, Morningside Heights, Murray Hill, and the UES/UWS.

Pratt, LIU, Brooklyn College, St. John's, and the wave of students in shared apartments across Bushwick, Bed-Stuy, Astoria and Flushing.
Any building
Fourth-floor walk-up or a doorman dorm with a freight elevator — same flat price, and a free same-day COI to the building if the residence life office requires one.
Why students book JunkRabbit
Priced from a photo
No in-person estimate during finals week — snap the room, get a flat price in seconds, done from your phone.
Same-day, on your checkout
Residence life gave you a hard checkout time? We book the window around it so the room's empty when you turn in the key.
Splits clean with roommates
One flat price for the whole shared apartment — easy to split — instead of everyone hauling their own stuff separately.
What NYC students say

"Checkout was 10am and I still had a mini-fridge and futon at 8. Booked JunkRabbit the night before, they came at 8:30 and I made it. Lifesaver during finals."
— Jordan T., NYU
★★★★★
"Three roommates, one Bushwick apartment, none of us had a car. One flat price for the whole place and they carried it all down four flights. Split it three ways, easy."
— Aisha M., Pratt
★★★★★
"They actually donated my microwave and desk lamp instead of trashing them. Priced it from a photo, showed up on time near Columbia."
— Ethan R., Columbia
Frequently asked questions
How much does a dorm move-out cleanout cost in NYC?
Single items start at the $75 minimum — a mini-fridge is $155, a futon $150, a twin mattress $111, a desk $112. A whole dorm room is usually a quarter-truck at $325, and a shared off-campus apartment runs $580–$985 (½ to a full 16-cy truck). Flat rate across every floor and building, priced from a photo before pickup.
Can you pick up the same day I move out of the dorm?
Yes — same-day pickup is available subject to hauler availability, which is what you need when the RA gives you a hard checkout time. Upload photos, pick a window (including same-day), and we clear the room before your key turn-in.
Do you take mini-fridges, futons, and TVs from a dorm?
Yes — mini-fridges, microwaves, futons, mattresses, desks, chairs, rugs, TVs and boxes, all in one pickup. It matters because a mini-fridge has refrigerant that needs EPA Section 608 recovery, and NYC bans TVs and electronics from the trash — so you can't just leave them in the dorm hallway or at the curb.
Can you donate the stuff that's still good?
Yes — a lot of end-of-semester gear is barely used. Working mini-fridges, microwaves, lamps, and clean furniture route to Housing Works, Habitat ReStore and GreenDrop where feasible, so it doesn't just go to a landfill.
Do you serve NYU, Columbia, and off-campus student apartments?
Yes — all five boroughs, near every NYC campus: NYU, Columbia, Barnard, The New School, Fordham, Pace, Hunter, Baruch, Pratt, Cooper Union, St. John's, and off-campus apartments in between. We come inside and carry it out, any floor.
Can you come the same day I check out?
Yes — same-day is available subject to hauler availability. Book a window around your checkout time and we'll clear the room before your key turn-in.
Do you take the mini-fridge and TV?
Yes — and it matters, because a mini-fridge needs EPA Section 608 refrigerant recovery and NYC bans TVs from the trash. We handle both correctly so you're not stuck with them in the hallway.
Will you donate what's still good?
Yes — working mini-fridges, microwaves, lamps and clean furniture route to donation centers where feasible, so barely-used gear gets reused instead of landfilled.
Do you serve my campus?
All five boroughs, near every NYC campus — NYU, Columbia, Barnard, The New School, Fordham, Pace, Hunter, Baruch, Pratt, Cooper Union, St. John's — and off-campus apartments in between.
Do I have to carry anything down?
No — the crew comes to the room and carries everything out, any floor, walk-up or elevator.
