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.
“Louis was so wonderful! Communicated ahead of time to let me know when he would be arriving, expertly disassembled a couch to remove it from the apartment and left the space immaculate afterwards!”
“Prompt and professional. I will definitely use again.”
“Communication was excellent, the haulers were so fast and efficient and work so hard. Very grateful for the help today!!”
Yes, for almost every household job. Most junk is standard items with standard prices: a sofa is $126, a queen mattress $103, a washer $133. A clear photo shows which item it is and roughly how big, and that is what sets the price. For mixed piles, the photo shows how much of the truck the load will fill, which sets the truck tier, from $241 for a quarter truck. What a photo cannot show is the route out, so in Pittsburgh it helps to add a shot of the basement stairs or the outside steps. Stairs never add a fee, but they help the crew plan.
Yes. You can pick items or upload a photo, see the flat total and book a 2-hour arrival window entirely online. You do not need to talk to anyone first to get a price or reserve a time. Contact details are only needed so the crew can reach you on the day and send your confirmation. That is especially useful for heirs clearing a family house in Penn Hills or McKeesport from out of town, and for students booking a move-out between finals.
Go to the instant quote on the homepage and either pick your items from the list or upload a photo of what needs to go. The price appears before you book, itemized line by line, with the total shown. A sofa and a basement fridge, for example, come to $126 + $164 = $290. There is no call-back, no in-person estimate and no sales conversation. If you add items later, you see the new total and approve it before anything changes.
Junk removal in Pittsburgh is usually priced one of three ways. Many franchises price by truck volume, often after an on-site estimate. Some operators charge by the hour, which can run long on hillside houses and steep cellar stairs. JunkRabbit uses a published flat price per item, such as $126 for a sofa, and truck-fill tiers for cleanouts, from $241 for a quarter truck to $732 for a full truck. The City of Pittsburgh's own paid bulk collection, for more than its free two items a week, costs $173 for the first hour and $54 for each additional hour.
Yes. JunkRabbit's flat prices include carrying items from anywhere in the home, from any floor, plus loading and disposal. There is no stairs fee, no walk-up fee, no same-day surcharge and no sales tax line, since hauling is not taxable in Pennsylvania. The order minimum is $100. In a city with 800 sets of public stairways and basements in almost every older house, knowing the steps are already included is the main thing. The price you see before booking only changes if you approve the change.
It only changes if you approve it. If the items on the day match what you priced, the total stays exactly as shown. If something is different, for example you add a dresser, or the pile is clearly bigger than the photo showed, the crew shows you the updated total from the same published price list, and you decide whether to go ahead. Nothing is added for stairs, a long walk from the truck, icy steps or a tight basement turn, because those are never charged.
A phone description loses detail. "An old couch and some stuff in the basement" can mean a loveseat and two boxes or a sectional and half a truck. A photo shows the actual items, so the price is set against the real thing and the published list. It also saves time: no waiting for a call-back or an estimate visit, which matters when you are fitting a pickup around a closing, a lease end or a shift at the hospital. And it gives the crew a look at the route, from rowhouse stairs to city steps, before they arrive.
Yes. Book by 4 PM and same-day pickup is available across Pittsburgh and the suburbs, with no same-day surcharge. Pick the items or upload a photo, see the flat price and choose a 2-hour arrival window. JunkRabbit works 7 days a week from 8am to midnight, so an evening slot after work is normal. In winter, on hillside streets, a midday window after the steps are salted is often the easier carry.
Downtown towers, Strip District lofts and larger apartment buildings in Oakland, Shadyside and East Liberty often require a certificate of insurance before a hauler can use the freight elevator or loading dock. JunkRabbit emails the COI within 1 hour of booking, naming your building and management as required. Reserve the elevator with your building, then pick an arrival window that fits. Newer HOA subdivisions in Wexford, Cranberry Township and Peters Township may have rules about curb piles, which a scheduled pickup avoids, since items go straight from the house to the truck.
Pick your items or upload a photo, see the flat price, and book online without calling anyone. A sofa is $126, a queen mattress $103, a fridge $164 and a quarter truck $241. The steps, the basement and disposal are included, the $100 minimum applies, and same-day pickup is available when you book by 4 PM.
