# JunkRabbit — NYC Junk Removal, Built for NYC Buildings

> JunkRabbit is a NYC junk removal marketplace built specifically for the operational realities of NYC buildings — 4th-floor tenement walk-ups, prewar doorman co-ops, freight elevator workflows, Certificate-of-Insurance (COI) requirements, and impossible curbside parking.

Flat per-item pricing across all 5 boroughs and all floors. No walk-up surcharge. No elevator fee. No borough modifier. No COI fee.

## What JunkRabbit Is Built For (Wedge vs National Operators)

JunkRabbit's positioning vs national operators (1-800-GOT-JUNK, LoadUp, Junkluggers): we're built specifically for the four NYC operational pain points that national haulers struggle with.

1. **Walk-ups** — 5th-floor tenement extractions, narrow stair turns, brownstone parlor floors. Flat $159 sofa pickup regardless of floor. No walk-up surcharge, no per-flight stair fee. Disassembly kit on every truck (hex set, Phillips, slotted, strap kit, blankets).
2. **Doormen** — prewar co-ops, luxury condos, and managed rentals require Certificates of Insurance, additional-insured naming, freight elevator coordination, service-entrance check-in. We submit the COI directly to the managing agent within hours of booking. Free, same-day. We know the workflows for Halstead, Brown Harris Stevens, Douglas Elliman, Corcoran, Rose Associates, Stonehenge, Argo, A.J. Clarke, FirstService Residential, and similar large NYC property management firms.
3. **COIs (Certificates of Insurance)** — free, same-day, sent directly to managing agent. Building entity, managing agent, and unit owner can all be named as additional insureds on the COI. Standard turnaround within a few hours of booking.
4. **Parking** — NYC parking is impossible. Our crews stage on side streets and use hand trucks. Off-peak windows (8-10am) for tourist-heavy corridors like SoHo and Times Square. Freight loading docks where available.

## Honest Comparison vs DSNY (NYC Department of Sanitation)

DSNY offers free bulk pickup for NYC residents. We won't pretend it doesn't exist. Use DSNY if all 3 are true: (1) you can carry the item to the curb yourself, (2) you can wait 1-3 weeks for the pickup window, (3) it's a standard bulk item DSNY accepts. Use JunkRabbit if any of: item is indoors and heavy, you're on a deadline, the item is e-waste / refrigerant-containing / construction debris (DSNY won't take these), your building requires a COI, or premature curb placement risks a $100+ DSNY fine.

## How JunkRabbit Compares

- **vs. 1-800-GOT-JUNK and other national franchises**: 30-50% cheaper. National operators add floor surcharges ($25-$75/floor typical), Manhattan modifiers (+10-15%), same-day surcharges (+15%), and fuel surcharges. JunkRabbit is flat per-item with zero surcharges.
- **vs. LoadUp and Junkluggers**: Same flat-rate model, but built for NYC buildings specifically. Free same-day COI submitted directly to managing agents. Named workflow for the major NYC property management firms. Walk-up disassembly kit on every truck.
- **vs. Craigslist / TaskRabbit / informal haulers**: JunkRabbit haulers are vetted, licensed by the NYC Business Integrity Commission, and insured. Guaranteed pricing upfront. EPA Section 608 refrigerant recovery and certified e-waste routing are mandatory for our network, optional for informal haulers.
- **vs. calling local haulers individually**: One photo, one quote, one booking. 50+ haulers compete in the background — you get the best available price without phone calls.
