The whole unit — sold, inherited, or turning over — cleared from a 78701 tower in one freight-elevator window. We file the COI, book the elevator and dock, split the sectional for the service corridor, and the condo is broom-clean by the time the reservation ends. Flat truck-fill from $241; most one-bedrooms are exactly that.

Upload Photos & Get Quote →Room-by-room photos size the load; the building name starts the paperwork. One flat number comes back for the whole clear.
COI issued and filed, freight elevator reserved against a dock window, keep-list confirmed if it's an estate. You forward one concierge email.
Staged in-unit before the reservation opens, big pieces split and padded in advance, the corridor run continuously — broom-clean before the window closes.
Truck-fill, flat, published — with the pieces a 78701 unit actually holds priced alongside.
| Volume / piece | Flat price |
|---|---|
| Quarter truck — most 1BR units | $241 |
| Half truck — larger condos | $431 |
| Full truck — complete multi-bedroom clears | $732 |
| Sofa | $126 |
| Sectional — 3-piece (split for the elevator) | $185 |
| King mattress | $114 |
| Sleeper sofa | $149 |
| TV (large) | $73 |
| Peloton | $80 |
| Desk (L-shaped) | $134 |
$75 minimum; the COI filing, elevator coordination, dock wait and disposal are all inside the number, confirmed before you book. Building move-out fees, where associations charge them, are separate and flagged up front. Units beyond one truck quote as multiple loads or a second window — up front, never mid-job.
The alternative is the one every listing agent has watched fail: an uninsured hauler refused at the desk while the photography date approaches. Franchises quote after an on-site visit; our ladder is printed and the COI is routine.
| Option | Cost | Speed | The catch |
|---|---|---|---|
| City bulk pickup | — | — | No curb, no city collection — towers are commercial-hauled; the program structurally doesn't exist here |
| Building trash rooms, gradually | Bill-back risk | Weeks of trips | Furniture is banned from the chutes; violations land on the HOA account attached to the unit you're selling |
| Estate-sale company alone | Commission | Weeks | Sells the sellable — the remainder still occupies the unit at listing time |
| Movers + storage | Move + monthly fees | Fast to start | Deferring the decision at $150+/month; the storage unit becomes next year's cleanout |
| JunkRabbit | $241–$732 flat | One elevator window | None — insured, receipted, broom-clean |
A house clear can improvise; a tower clear cannot. The elevator reservation is finite — everything must be staged, split and padded before it opens, because the clock doesn't pause for a stuck sleeper sofa. The COI must precede the crew — associations at The Austonian, The Independent, 70 Rainey and the 2nd Street buildings won't release the service elevator without it on file, at the coverage their template demands. The dock has neighbors — moving trucks, deliveries and other vendors share it, so the window is choreography, not just access. And the unit usually has a deadline attached — a closing, a photographer, a new tenant — which is why the whole machine runs backward from your date.
We've built the discipline into a flat price: the paperwork, the reservation, the staging, the split-and-carry, the broom-clean finish. You forward one email and attend the closing.
Downtown units release the newest furniture in the metro: sound pieces route to Goodwill Central Texas, Habitat for Humanity ReStore and the Austin Furniture Bank — receipts kept, which estates need for probate and sellers appreciate at tax time. Electronics go to e-waste recycling, metal to recovery, refrigerant appliances to EPA-code handling. The landfill share of a 78701 clear is consistently the smallest pile.
Every building's process is on file. COI templates, elevator lead times, dock heights and after-hours rules differ tower to tower — we keep what we learn, so your building is probably already in the book. Lead time is set by the office: days for known buildings, about a week for new ones or estate clears — plan the photography date accordingly. The split-and-pad is the craft — sectionals separate, mattresses bag, the sleeper's mechanism locks, all before the window opens. And discretion is default — the passenger elevators never see the clear, which matters in a building where the neighbors are also the HOA board.
"Communication was excellent, the haulers were so fast and efficient and work so hard. Very grateful for the help today!!"
"Prompt and professional. I will definitely use again."
"Fast, considerate, and thorough"
How much does a condo cleanout cost downtown?
$241 quarter truck (most 1BRs), $431 half, $732 full; pieces priced openly alongside. $75 minimum — COI, elevator and disposal included.
Who deals with my building's requirements?
We do — COI to their template, elevator reserved, dock window kept. You forward one email.
How much lead time?
Days for buildings we know; about a week for new buildings or estates — the management office sets the pace.
Can it beat my listing photography date?
That's the standard booking — we schedule backward from the shoot.
Do estates get special handling?
Keep-lists, set-aside documents, receipted donations and quiet crews — yes.
What if the unit needs more than one truck?
Quoted up front as multiple loads or a second window — the number never grows mid-job.
Flat truck-fill pricing: a quarter truck at $241 clears most one-bedroom units, a half truck $431 covers larger condos, and a full truck $732 handles complete multi-bedroom clears. Individual pieces price openly alongside: sofa $126, three-piece sectional $185 (split for the service elevator), king mattress $114, sleeper sofa $149, large TV $73, Peloton $80, L-shaped desk $134. $75 minimum; the COI filing, elevator coordination and disposal are inside the number.
Downtown associations require a Certificate of Insurance naming the HOA and management company before any vendor touches the freight elevator, which itself is reserved days ahead against a loading-dock window. We issue and file the COI, coordinate the reservation with your concierge, and clear the unit inside that window — you forward one email and the machine runs.
Most one- and two-bedroom units, yes — the crew stages inside the unit before the window opens, pads and splits the big pieces in advance, and runs the service corridor continuously while the reservation lasts. Larger units book a double window or a second day, quoted up front.
The pre-sale clear is downtown's signature booking: furniture out, unit broom-clean, timed against the listing photography date, with the building's calendar worked backward from it.
Handled with estate discipline — keep-lists agreed with the family or executor, documents and valuables set aside, donations receipted for probate, and the same building mechanics handled quietly.
Condo furniture is the best donation stream in the city — sound pieces to Goodwill Central Texas, Habitat ReStore and the Austin Furniture Bank with receipts; electronics to e-waste recycling; metal to recovery.
