“Their response time was quick and I was able to arrange a same day pickup. Alex and Carlos were so professional and quick — my old items were gone in 15 minutes. Highly recommend them and would use them again!”

How storage auction cleanout works with us
You bought the unit. You pulled the things you wanted. Now you're left with the 80% nobody wants — old mattresses, busted furniture, mystery boxes, dead electronics. You can spend a weekend hauling it to the dump or you can hand it to us.
1. Pull what you keep
Do your walkthrough. Pull the items worth flipping or keeping. Tell us what's staying.
2. Photo + quote
Send a wide shot of what's left. Itemized quote in 7 seconds.
3. Hauler clears it
Same-day or next-morning. Donate, recycle, dump. Before-and-after photos sent.

Frequently asked
Can you come the day I won the auction?
If you book by noon, yes. After noon = next-morning. Need it done in the next 2 hours? Add the ASAP surcharge at checkout.
What if there's something I missed?
We send before-and-after photos and a list of larger items. If something looks worth keeping, just say so and we'll set it aside.
What about hazardous stuff — paint, propane, batteries?
We handle most household hazmat including small batteries, fluorescent bulbs, and partial paint cans. Full propane tanks need a separate trip — flag them in the quote.
Do I get a receipt for what was donated?
Yes — we send a donation receipt from whichever charity received it (Housing Works, Salvation Army, Habitat ReStore, etc.).
What if the previous owner shows up later asking about something?
The auction transferred ownership to you — they have no claim. But we keep the disposal manifest for 90 days in case you need it.
How fast do I need to clear a storage unit I won at auction?
Most NYC self-storage facilities give auction winners 24-72 hours to clear the unit. Public Storage and CubeSmart typically allow 48 hours. Extra Space and Manhattan Mini Storage often allow 72. After that, daily fees apply or the contents revert to the facility.
Can JunkRabbit help me sort what I keep vs what I dump?
Yes. Tell us what you want to keep — typically the high-value finds — and we'll set those aside, then haul off everything else. We can also coordinate a quick estate-sale-style pickup if you want to flip items first.
What's the typical cost to clear a won storage unit?
A 5×10 auction unit typically runs $300-$600 to clear. A 10×10 runs $500-$900. Most auction buyers find the cleanout cost is 10-30% of what they paid for the unit.
Do I need to be at the unit when you arrive?
You can be — many auction buyers want to do a final walkthrough first. If you've already pulled what you want, leave the gate code or arrange access with the front desk and we'll handle the rest.
Where do you take the stuff?
Reusable items go to donation (Housing Works, Salvation Army, Habitat ReStore). Mattresses, electronics, and metal go to recycling. The rest goes to a transfer station. You get a receipt of where everything went — useful if anything was claimed by the previous owner later.
