Furniture Removal in Austin
Furniture Removal in Austin
Sofas, sectionals, dressers, dining sets — one piece or a whole room, at a flat photo-quoted price from $92, with a standard sofa at $126. We carry it out from wherever it sits: the upstairs bedroom, the attic pull-down, the back of a two-car garage. Austin has no basements and Austin's on-demand bulk program won't come inside for it, so we do. Usable pieces go to donation.

How furniture removal works in Austin
1 · Send a photo
Take a picture of the sofa, the dresser or the whole room. An exact flat price comes back in seconds — no walkthrough, no "call for a quote," no on-site estimator standing in your living room.
2 · Pick a time
Same-day is usually open from the 04 up through Round Rock and Georgetown. High-rise downtown or at The Domain? We file the COI and book the freight elevator window for you.
3 · We carry it out
An insured crew lifts it from the room, the garage or the attic, down the stairs, and loads it. Usable pieces are routed to donation. You never touch it and nothing sits at the curb.
How much does furniture removal cost in Austin?
Flat, per piece, quoted from a photo before anyone drives out. The labor, the truck, the drive across the metro and the disposal are all already inside the number. Upholstered seating prices by type, sectionals price by how many pieces they break into, and case goods price by size.
| Piece | Flat price |
|---|---|
| Bed frame | $68 |
| Bookshelf | $72 |
| Armchair / accent chair | $77 |
| Desk (standard) | $83 |
| Loveseat | $95 |
| Recliner (single) | $98 |
| Futon | $103 |
| Dresser (standard) | $126 |
| Sofa / couch (standard) | $126 |
| Dining table (6–8 seat) | $129 |
| Sectional — 2-piece | $141 |
| Dresser (large / triple) | $148 |
| Sleeper / pull-out sofa | $149 |
| Sectional — 3-piece | $185 |
| Sectional — 4-piece | $228 |
| Whole room (half-truck fill) | $431 |
The seating ladder in plain terms: loveseat $95 → sofa $126 → sleeper $149 → sectional 2-piece $141 / 3-piece $185 / 4-piece $228. Every order meets a $75 minimum, so a single small piece books at the $75 floor if its own rate lands under it. Clearing more than one thing? Put them in one photo and we price the set together rather than stacking trip fees — once you are past three or four large pieces, the truck-fill number is usually the cheaper way to buy it. Carry-out and disposal are included, and your checkout total is confirmed before you book.

Does Austin pick up furniture?
Sometimes, for some people, on the city's schedule. The City of Austin, through Austin Resource Recovery, retired the old fixed bulk-collection calendar and moved residential bulk to an on-demand request system — you go to austintexas.gov/service/ondemand and ask for a pickup. Three limits decide whether that helps you:
- You get a limited number of free pickups a year, with a volume cap on each one. Clear out a bedroom and a living room in the same month and you will blow through the allowance, and anything past the cap is left sitting where you put it.
- It is curbside only. The crew does not come inside, up the stairs, or into your garage. Somebody still has to get a sleeper sofa out of an upstairs bedroom and down to the street — which is the actual hard part of the job.
- It is only for city-of-Austin residential curbside-trash customers. If you rent an apartment or own a condo, your building is on private hauling and you are not in the program at all. That excludes essentially all of West Campus, the Riverside garden-apartment belt, the Rainey Street towers and The Domain.
And then there is the piece nobody warns you about: the fast-growing HOA suburbs. Round Rock, Cedar Park, Leander, Georgetown and Sun City, Circle C and Mueller all police appearance, and a couch parked at the curb outside the allowed window is exactly what earns a violation letter. So a Williamson County homeowner is squeezed from both sides — the city program caps what it will take and demands curbside staging, while the HOA fines the curbside staging. That gap is the entire reason we exist here: we load from the garage or the driveway on a scheduled window, nothing is ever left out front, and the piece is gone the same day rather than whenever the on-demand queue clears.
What we take
- Sofas, loveseats and sectionals — standard three-seaters, reclining sofas, sleeper sofas, futons, and 2-, 3- and 4-piece sectionals split as needed for the stairwell.
- Chairs — recliners, armchairs, gliders, office chairs, dining chairs and the patio set that has been baking on the deck since the last ACL.
- Case goods — dressers standard and triple-width, chests of drawers, nightstands, bookshelves, entertainment centers, wardrobes and china cabinets.
- Beds — frames, headboards, bunk beds and cribs, plus mattresses and box springs if the whole bed is going (see mattress removal).
- Tables and desks — coffee and end tables, console tables, 6-to-8-seat dining tables, standard and L-shaped desks, filing cabinets.
- Whole rooms and whole homes — a living room, a bedroom set, a staged-and-sold house or a full apartment clear, priced as truck-fill instead of piece by piece.
What happens to your furniture after pickup
Furniture is the single most donatable category we haul, so a usable piece goes to donation first. Austin has real depth here: Goodwill Central Texas, Habitat for Humanity ReStore, ARC Resale, the Salvation Army and the Austin Furniture Bank — the last of which exists specifically to furnish homes for families coming out of homelessness — all take sound household furniture, and a donation receipt is available on request. Every summer the city stands up its MoveOutATX donation stations around the UT area precisely because so much of what gets thrown out during the July 31 lease turnover is still perfectly good.
What can't be donated gets broken down rather than dumped whole: metal frames, bed rails and filing cabinets go to scrap recovery, clean wood is separated where the facility takes it, and only the genuinely dead remainder is disposed of at the landfill. None of that is an add-on line — it is inside the flat price you were quoted from the photo.
Slab homes, garages and towers — how Austin furniture actually comes out
Austin housing has one structural quirk that shapes every furniture job here: homes are slab-on-grade and there are no basements. Everything a Northeastern family would stash downstairs instead lives in the garage and the attic. That means the two-car garage in Crestview or South Austin, and the three-car garage in Leander or Kyle, is where the old sectional, the dorm dresser and the dining set have been stacked for years — and it is also why so many Austin furniture hauls are really "clear one side of the garage back so I can park again."
In the HOA suburbs — Round Rock, Cedar Park, Leander, Georgetown and Sun City, Circle C, Mueller — we load out of that garage or off the driveway on a scheduled window, and nothing touches the curb. In the central bungalow belt of Hyde Park, Clarksville and East Austin, the challenge is the opposite: 1920s doorframes, tight porches and a single narrow interior stair, and a three-seat sofa has to be angled out without taking the trim with it. In Tarrytown and Westlake, it is long private drives, steep hillside lots and no curb staging at all, with discretion expected. And in the Rainey Street, downtown and Domain towers, there is no curb — the job goes out the loading dock, which means a COI naming the association and management company (typically $1M general liability) and a freight elevator reserved several business days out. We file the COI and book the window; it isn't a surcharge.
When Austin calls us for furniture removal
- The UT move-out wave. Leases across West Campus and Riverside overwhelmingly end July 31, and late July into August is the biggest single furniture spike in the metro — futons, desks, dressers and beds coming out of units on a deadline.
- Spring home sales and staging, March through June. Texas's dominant selling season; the stager wants three rooms of dated furniture gone before photos, and the listing date does not move.
- Tech relocation churn. Tesla, Oracle, Apple and the Samsung fab in Taylor keep a steady stream of households arriving and leaving — half of them clearing the furniture that won't fit the new place, the other half clearing what the previous owner left behind.
- Short-term-rental turnover. The "04" and East Austin refit their STRs around SXSW in March and ACL in October, and the tired sofa gets replaced between bookings.
- Downsizing and estates. The Sun City retiree belt in Georgetown and the generational homes of Tarrytown produce whole-house furniture clears, donation-routed and handled quietly.
- The new couch is arriving Saturday. Still the most common call we get — the delivery truck won't take the old one, and it has to be out of the room first.
Why Austin chooses JunkRabbit
- A real number before we roll. A photo gets you the flat price in seconds. The franchises here quote after an on-site or phone estimate; you get yours while you're still standing in the room.
- We do the lifting. Full-service carry-out from an upstairs bedroom, the back of the garage or the attic pull-down. The city's on-demand program is curbside-only; we are not.
- No HOA exposure. Everything loads from the garage or driveway on a scheduled window, so nothing sits out front waiting for a violation letter.
- Tower-ready. COI issued and freight elevator booked for downtown, Rainey Street and Domain buildings, with no high-rise upcharge.
- Donation first. Goodwill Central Texas, ReStore, ARC Resale, Salvation Army and the Austin Furniture Bank before the landfill, with a receipt on request.
- One price, all in. Labor, truck, drive and disposal are in the quote, and the checkout total is confirmed before you book.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does furniture removal cost in Austin?
Flat and photo-quoted per piece. A loveseat is $95, a standard sofa $126, a sleeper sofa $149, a futon $103, a recliner $98, an armchair $77. Sectionals price by piece count: 2-piece $141, 3-piece $185, 4-piece $228. Case goods run a dresser $126 (large $199), a bookshelf $72, a desk $83, a 6-to-8-seat dining table $129, a bed frame $68. A whole room clears as truck-fill, half a truck $431. The minimum order is $75. Carry-out and disposal are included, and your checkout total is confirmed before you book.
Does the City of Austin pick up furniture?
Only under narrow conditions. Austin Resource Recovery moved residential bulk to an on-demand request system: you request a pickup, you get a limited number of them per year, there is a cap on how much volume each one takes, it is curbside only, and it is available only to city-of-Austin residential curbside-trash customers. If you live in an apartment or condo, your property is on private hauling and you are excluded outright. Details are at austintexas.gov/service/ondemand. Even when you qualify, you still have to move the sofa out of the house yourself and leave it at the curb until the truck comes, which most Austin HOAs will fine you for.
Do I have to carry it out to the curb?
No. We carry it out from wherever it sits. Austin homes are slab-on-grade with no basements, so the furniture is normally in an upstairs bedroom, the garage or the attic pull-down, and that is where we start. Nothing is staged at the curb, which is the whole point in Round Rock, Cedar Park, Circle C, Mueller and the rest of the HOA suburbs.
Can you take a big sectional?
Yes, and it is priced by piece count rather than guessed at: 2-piece $141, 3-piece $185, 4-piece $228. We split the sections as needed to clear doorways, stair turns and freight elevators. It is one flat number from your photo with no oversize upcharge.
Is this cheaper than a traditional full-service hauler?
It is more predictable, which is usually what people actually mean. The national franchises operating in Austin — 1-800-GOT-JUNK, College Hunks and Junk King — all price by how much of the truck you fill and confirm the number on site or over the phone after a walkthrough. Ours is a flat per-piece price sent back from a photo before anyone drives out, and it already includes the carry-out and the disposal.
Do you donate usable furniture?
Yes. Anything still clean and structurally sound gets routed to donation first — Goodwill Central Texas, Habitat for Humanity ReStore, ARC Resale, Salvation Army and the Austin Furniture Bank all take usable household furniture, and the city runs MoveOutATX donation stations each summer for the UT move-out wave. What cannot be donated is recycled or disposed of responsibly.
Can you get furniture out of a downtown or Domain high-rise?
Yes. Towers around Rainey Street, downtown and The Domain require a Certificate of Insurance naming the association and the management company, typically $1M general liability, plus a freight elevator reserved several business days out and a dock window. We file the COI and book the elevator, and there is no high-rise surcharge on top of the flat price.
What does furniture removal cost in Austin?
Flat, photo-quoted: sofa $126, queen mattress $103, dresser $126, desk $83. Whole rooms price by truck-fill from $241 for a quarter truck to $732 full. Minimum job $75, carry-out and disposal included.
Can you handle a student move-out?
End-of-semester and August lease-flip turnover is a Austin staple — futons ($103), desks, mini-fridges, and the IKEA furniture that won't survive another move, gone in one trip.
Do you pick up from the garage or driveway?
Gladly — stage it in the garage, share the gate code, and it's gone while you're at work. Or we carry it out of the house; the flat price is the same.
Do you work in the summer heat?
Every day of it — the crew paces the carry and the price doesn't change with the temperature.
Do you take furniture to donation?
Furniture in good shape goes to donation partners first, so a usable piece furnishes another home instead of a landfill.
