Furniture Removal in East Austin
Furniture Removal in East Austin
From the 1920s craftsman bungalows off East Cesar Chavez to the new builds east of I-35 (78702/78721) — old and new Austin share these blocks, and both have a couch that needs to go. We work it out of the narrow bungalow doorway or down from the walk-up at a flat price — sofa $126, sectional $185 — same-day when a slot's open. Se habla español: precio fijo, sin sorpresas.

How it works east of I-35
1 · Photo of the piece
Couch, dresser, the whole living room — one photo and the flat price comes back in seconds, in English or Spanish. The doorway doesn't change the number.
2 · Pick your window
Same-day most days, evenings bookable — crews cross East Austin constantly, so you're rarely waiting on a truck from across town.
3 · Worked out, not wrestled out
Feet off, doors padded, porch columns respected. The piece leaves clean and the hundred-year-old trim stays where it's been for a hundred years.
How much does furniture removal cost in East Austin?
Flat by piece — the same published list everywhere in Austin, whichever side of I-35 you're on.
| Item | Flat price |
|---|---|
| Sofa / couch | $126 |
| Sectional — 3-piece | $185 |
| Loveseat | $95 |
| Futon | $103 |
| Dresser (standard) | $126 |
| Bookshelf | $72 |
| Dining table (2–4 seat) | $129 |
| Bed frame | $68 |
Clearing a whole room or a move-out? Truck-fill prices better: $241 for a quarter truck covers most single-room clears, up the published ladder to $732 for a full truck. $75 minimum; carry-out and disposal included — and the tight doorway, the porch steps and the gravel alley behind the bungalow are all part of the job, never a line item.
5 ways to lose a couch in East Austin
| Option | Cost | Speed | The catch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Austin Resource Recovery on-demand bulk | Free | Scheduled from request | Houses on city service only — limited pickups/year, volume-capped, curbside-only, and the couch waits on the curb till the date |
| Complex dumpster (new-build apartments) | "Free" | Instant | Private-hauler contract bans furniture — billed back to your unit or deposit |
| Leave it out with a "FREE" sign | Free | Days, maybe | Code enforcement notices beat porch-scavenger luck more often than the neighborhood group admits |
| Self-haul | Truck + gate fees | Half a day | ~$60/ton with a 2-ton minimum at the gate (TDS 2025), for one sofa |
| JunkRabbit | $126 sofa, flat ladder | Same-day | None — worked out carefully, donation-routed, receipt available |
Does the city pick up furniture in East Austin?
It depends which East Austin you live in — and the split runs right through these blocks. The bungalow streets on city curbside service can request Austin Resource Recovery's on-demand bulk pickup (austintexas.gov/service/ondemand): a limited number of free pickups per year, each volume-capped, curbside only, on a scheduled date. It works — slowly — for one broken dresser, if you can get it to the curb yourself and don't mind it sitting there until the truck comes.
The new-build complexes and apartment blocks around Mueller's edges and along the corridors are a different story: they're on private hauling contracts, outside the city program entirely, with dumpster corrals that ban furniture and bill violations back to the unit.
Either way, nobody's carrying the sectional out of your living room for free. That carry — through the 1920s doorway or down the walk-up stairs — is exactly what we sell, at a price you see before you book.
What we haul
- Sofas, sectionals and sleepers — from the shotgun-house living room or the new-build third floor.
- Bedroom sets — dressers ($126), bed frames ($68), the mattress alongside if it's going too.
- Dining sets and shelving — the small dining table at $103, bookshelves at $72, the hutch that came with the house.
- Futons and student-grade furniture — the 78702 rental turnover standard.
- Whole rooms and move-outs — truck-fill from $241, donation sorted as it loads.
- Porch and yard furniture — the weathered set that's been on the porch since before the neighbors changed.
Where East Austin furniture goes next
These loads are donation gold, and we route them that way: Goodwill Central Texas, Habitat for Humanity ReStore and the Austin Furniture Bank — which furnishes homes for neighbors coming out of crisis, often a few blocks from where the furniture started. Receipts available on request. Metal frames go to scrap recovery, electronics to e-waste streams, and only what's genuinely finished goes to disposal.
The East Austin specifics we plan around
The housing stock is two neighborhoods in one. The craftsman and shotgun houses of 78702 have narrow doors, plaster corners and porch columns that predate sectional sofas by decades — crews measure first, disassemble what should be disassembled, and pad what can't be. The new infill and complexes are walk-up and stair work, covered with no stair fee. The community is bilingual and long-established — this has been a Hispanic and Black neighborhood for a century, and our Spanish-speaking crews and the full Spanish version of this page aren't an afterthought; they're how half our East Austin bookings arrive. Alleys and parking: many blocks load from the alley, some alleys are gravel and gated — the photo quote plus the address sorts the truck plan before anyone rings the bell.
Why East Austin uses JunkRabbit
- Published flat prices — $126 for the sofa on both sides of the neighborhood's change.
- Old-house competence — doorways survived a century; they'll survive us.
- Español de verdad — crews, quotes, receipts and the full page in Spanish.
- Donation-first — usable furniture stays in the community through the Furniture Bank.
- Same-day and evenings — crews are already east of I-35 most days.
- One quote for the room — piece by piece or truck-fill, your call.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does furniture removal cost in East Austin?
Flat by piece, published: sofa $126, loveseat $95, three-piece sectional $185, futon $103, standard dresser $126, bookshelf $72, small dining table $103, bed frame $68. A whole room or move-out prices as truck-fill from $241 for a quarter truck. $75 minimum; carry-out and disposal are included, and the tight bungalow doorway costs nothing extra.
Can you get a sectional out of a 1920s bungalow?
That's the neighborhood specialty. The craftsman houses off East Cesar Chavez and East 12th have narrow doors, porch columns and tight halls — the crew measures, removes feet or door hardware when needed, pads the frame, and works the piece out without scarring a hundred-year-old doorway. No surcharge for the effort.

Does the city pick up furniture in East Austin?
Houses on city curbside service can request Austin Resource Recovery's on-demand bulk pickup — limited free pickups per year, a volume cap, curbside only. Apartment and new-build complexes on private hauling can't use it at all. Either way the furniture waits at the curb until the scheduled date; we carry from inside the house, same-day, which is a different service.
What happens to donated furniture?
Sound pieces go to Goodwill Central Texas, Habitat for Humanity ReStore and the Austin Furniture Bank, with a receipt on request — East Austin loads are consistently among the most donatable in the city.
How fast can you come?
Crews cross East Austin daily — same-day is usually available, and evening windows book a day ahead.
