Apartment living, no curb
Most Austin renters live in apartments and condos where there's no curb of their own and no city bulk pickup. Dropcurb picks up from an outdoor spot like a loading area, but you get the items there. JunkRabbit crews come to the unit in West Campus, Riverside or the Domain and carry everything out, from any floor, at no stairs fee.
Heat, storms and the yard
Central Texas sun and sudden storms ruin anything left outside. With a pickup from inside, nothing waits in the yard or on the curb, and crews take care of the heavy lifting in the heat.
Pick your time
JunkRabbit books a 2-hour arrival window, 7 days a week from 8am to midnight, with same-day pickup when you book by 4 PM. Dropcurb schedules pickup for a day and texts when the hauler is on the way, with a 2 PM same-day cutoff. On move-out day, a known window is what lets you hand back the keys on time.
