JunkRabbit picks up junk same-day in NYC starting at $75. Book before 2pm online. Licensed haulers, insured, all 5 boroughs.

The three honest options

Option 1: JunkRabbit. That's us. $75 minimum, transparent pricing, same-day pickup if booked before 2pm. Every hauler is licensed and insured. Photo-based quoting so no surprise fees.

Option 2: 1-800-GOT-JUNK or College Hunks. Big brands. Similar service but 40–50% more expensive because of franchise fees. "Same-day" often means tomorrow.

Option 3: Craigslist day laborer / random guy with a pickup truck. $50–$100 cash. Coin flip on whether they show up, show up sober, or illegally dump your stuff on an empty lot in Staten Island (landing you a fine if they're caught). Not recommended if your stuff includes anything that requires legal disposal (appliances, electronics).

How to decide

Urgent + want it done right = JunkRabbit. Urgent + money-no-object + want a big-brand name = 1-800-GOT-JUNK. Not urgent + willing to gamble = Craigslist.

Frequently asked

How is JunkRabbit cheaper than 1-800-GOT-JUNK?

We don’t pay franchise royalties, don’t run TV ads, and don’t have a sales team. We’re a marketplace — local haulers compete for your job.

Why not just use Craigslist?

No paper trail, no insurance, and if they dump your stuff illegally, the fine is on you as the homeowner. Worth the extra $40 for peace of mind.
