Estate & Basement Cleanout Pittsburgh
A lot of Pittsburgh houses have stayed in one family for generations, and clearing one means every floor plus a basement packed with decades of storage. We work room by room at a truck-fill price you see before we start — half a truck is $431, a full one $732.
Customer Reviews
Pittsburgh is one of JunkRabbit’s newest cities and hasn’t collected its own reviews yet, so these are real Google reviews left by Miami customers.
“Had a plan AND morning confirmation with [another junk remover] and they canceled last minute, an hour before. I was in a bind, and I called & texted the folks at JunkRabbit. They were fast, courteous and available on short notice.”
“Good communication, very responsive and easy to schedule on a short notice. Showed up on time and the haulers were in and out quickly and efficiently. Thanks!”
“Prompt and professional. I will definitely use again.”

Approve the quote from photos, arrange a key with a neighbor or the realtor, and get pictures as each room empties.
Mark what stays with tape, or gather keepsakes in one room — we only take what’s marked to go.
The median house in the City of Pittsburgh was built in 1942, and in neighborhoods like Lawrenceville, Squirrel Hill and Carrick the median sits at 1939 or earlier. Almost all of them have a cellar.
Chest freezers and dehumidifiers hold refrigerant, so they can’t go to the curb. We carry them up.
Built-in-looking benches usually unbolt. Metal shelving comes down in sections.
An upright that reached the cellar decades ago can come back up. It’s $290.
Wood-cabinet TVs are common down there and have to be recycled under state law.
Two kinds of homes fill this calendar. One is the post-war suburb — Penn Hills, where the population nearly doubled between 1950 and 1960, or Bethel Park and Brookline — where original owners are now downsizing. The other is the older river town, like McKeesport or Wilkinsburg, where around fifteen percent of housing stands vacant and heirs or landlords need a house emptied before it can be sold.
It’s priced by truck-fill: $241 for a quarter truck up to $732 for a full sixteen-yard load. Large houses with full basements often need more than one.
Of course. Put keepsakes in one room or tag them, and those pieces stay put.
