Junk Removal Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh has 800 sets of public stairways and a housing stock whose median build year is 1942, so most junk here sits either up a flight of hillside steps or down in a basement. Take a photo, see one flat price, and a crew carries it out: a sofa is $126, a refrigerator $164.
We cover every one of Allegheny County’s 130 municipalities, plus Cranberry and Mars to the north, Canonsburg and Washington to the south, Murrysville and Greensburg to the east, and the Beaver County river towns.
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!!”
Every item has a published Pittsburgh price, and the carry — a long climb up to a Slopes porch or a turn at the bottom of a basement stair — is already inside it.

For a whole basement, a garage or an estate, volume pricing is the easier way to think about it. The truck holds sixteen cubic yards: a quarter of it is $241, half is $431 and the whole box $732. Each quote is calculated both by item and by volume, and the lower figure is the one you pay.
Photograph the pile from wherever it sits — porch, cellar or alley — and the flat price comes straight back.
Get My Pittsburgh QuoteA single armchair or a cellar full of boxes — every piece in the picture is matched to its Pittsburgh price.
Fix anything the photo missed, mention how many steps sit between the street and your door, and pick a time.
An insured local crew does the lifting, then routes each load to donation, a recycler or a licensed landfill.
Each service has its own page with Pittsburgh prices, the local rules that apply and answers to common questions:
A frame rowhouse in Bloomfield, a hillside home on the Slopes, a Strip District loft and a newer Cranberry subdivision house each call for a different plan. Our crews handle all four.
Many City ZIP codes report a median build year of 1939 or earlier, and nearly every one of those houses has a cellar. Clearing it is the signature Pittsburgh job.
On the South Side Slopes, Mount Washington and Troy Hill, some front doors are only reachable by public stairs. We carry every piece down them at the same price.
Lawrenceville, Bloomfield and the North Side are built of tight rows with steep interior stairs and alley access out back.
Pennsylvania keeps TVs and computers out of curbside trash, and the City won’t collect refrigerators. Both go to proper recyclers with us.
Inside the City of Pittsburgh, bulky items can go out with regular trash — within limits the City spells out plainly. Here’s the short version.
The City’s rule is a limit of two bulky items per week, set at the curb no earlier than 6 p.m. the night before and no later than 6 a.m. on collection day.
More than two pieces means phoning the City and paying an hourly rate for a special pickup, by check or money order.
Televisions and computers, appliances that contain refrigerant, construction waste, tires, batteries and auto parts are all off the list.
Every suburban borough and township in Allegheny County hires its own trash hauler. Mt. Lebanon’s, for example, only takes a fridge that carries a sticker certifying the refrigerant was removed.
Several ZIP codes that mail as “Pittsburgh” — Mt. Lebanon, Penn Hills, Ross, Upper St. Clair and parts of Baldwin and Shaler among them — are suburbs, so the City’s program doesn’t apply there. If you have one or two pieces already at the curb inside the City, the free pickup is hard to beat. For a third item, a basement, a TV, a fridge or remodel scraps, that’s our work.
Winter sends everything to the cellar; spring is when people redd up and hand it back. These jobs fill the calendar.
Usable furniture heads to donation, refrigerant units to recovery, and TVs and computers to electronics recyclers as state law requires.
Sorting doesn’t add anything to the price.
From December into March, outdoor stairs ice over. Tell us about the steps when you book and we’ll plan a morning window with traction on the crew’s boots.
The price is set from your photo, so nobody arrives to size up the pile and invent a figure at the door.
Hillside stairs, porch steps and basement flights are the reason most people here call. They’re in the price.
Bring us the third piece, the tenth or a whole house — the price follows the volume, not a weekly cap.
These are exactly what curbside collection turns down. We take them and send them where they belong.
Vetted, insured haulers, with a certificate of insurance for Downtown buildings that require one.
Carrick or Cranberry, Wilkinsburg or Wexford, the published prices don’t change.

Your photo sets the price. Typical Pittsburgh prices: $126 for a sofa, $103 for a queen mattress, $164 for a fridge, $68 for a mid-size TV. Larger loads run from $241 for a quarter truck to $732 for a full one, with a $100 minimum.
If it’s one or two pieces, they’re already at the curb and you live inside City limits, the free program makes sense. People book us for the third piece onward, for anything still in the basement or up the steps, and for the TVs, fridges and remodel scraps the curb won’t collect.
No. Hillside stairs, porch steps and cellar flights are part of every flat price. Mention the number of steps when you book so the right crew comes.
Yes. The TV goes to an electronics recycler and the fridge to refrigerant recovery, which is why neither can simply go out with the trash.
Yes. Icy steps and tight winter parking get planned around; morning windows are easiest from December through March.
All of Allegheny County, plus southern Butler County around Cranberry and Mars, northern Washington County down to Washington and Charleroi, western Westmoreland out to Greensburg, and the Beaver County river towns.
