An alternative to 1-800-GOT-JUNK in Raleigh

Here is the alternative, with the prices already on the page

If you are looking for another option in Raleigh, this is ours: published flat prices you can read before you speak to anybody, a written total in about a minute, and a crew that carries everything out and disposes of it. No visit needed to get a number, and no number that changes once you have one.

You see the price before you call

That is the whole idea. Describe what is going in plain English — "a sofa, a mattress set and about ten bags" — and a flat total comes straight back. Compare it against anything you like before you book, because it is the same figure you will pay on the day.

Whole-room and whole-house pricing

The Raleigh minimum booking is $75.

Single-item pricing, published

A worked bedroom-and-living-room clear

Sofa $126, armchair $77, queen mattress set $143, large dresser $148 and ten bags $132 comes to $626 itemised. As one load it is the 12 cubic yard share at $587, and we quote the lower of the two.

Nothing added for stairs, floors or a long carry

Floor level, stair count, carry distance, hills and neighbourhood are all zero in our pricing. A third-floor walk-up off Hillsborough Street costs exactly what a ground-floor garage in Cary costs for the same load, and the crew does the carrying.

Disposal is inside the figure

No separate fuel line, tip fee, environmental charge or recycling surcharge, and nothing appended at the end. The price covers the crew, the truck, the carry, the loading, the drive and the disposal.

Same-day and next-day, at no premium

A slot tomorrow costs exactly what a booking three weeks out costs — no rush fee, no weekend rate, no short-notice surcharge. Same-day is ordinary across the Triangle, so take the earliest one that suits you.

The price is fixed before we set off

You approve a total and that total is what you pay. If something extra turns up on the day, it comes off the same published list, the revised figure goes to your phone, and it only goes on the truck once you have said yes.

Insured, with a free certificate

JunkRabbit LLC carries commercial general liability at $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate, an umbrella above it at $2 million per occurrence and $5 million aggregate, and workers' compensation. If your building, HOA or managing agent needs a certificate of insurance naming them, we issue it at no charge and it does not take days — and if they have a required form of words, send it and it goes on the certificate.

Condition never changes the price

Sagging, stained, water-marked or two decades out of style costs the same as pristine, because we price the space a piece takes on the truck rather than what it might have fetched. Nothing needs cleaning, repairing or dismantling first.

You do not carry anything

Nothing has to reach the kerb, the corridor or the driveway. The crew works from wherever the item is standing — an upstairs bedroom, a crawl space, the back of the garage, the deck.

Small jobs are welcome

A single mattress, one recliner, a stack of boxes: all perfectly ordinary bookings at the $75 minimum. There is no requirement to have a truckload before it is worth calling.

Where we collect

Raleigh, Cary, Apex, Durham, Chapel Hill, Wake Forest, Garner, Holly Springs, Fuquay-Varina, Morrisville, Knightdale and the rest of the Triangle, at identical published prices. Full detail sits on our Raleigh cost guide, and single pieces are covered on the couch removal page.

Awkward and heavy items are published too

The pieces that usually turn into a phone call are already on the list: a treadmill $115, a home gym $143, an elliptical $97, a large safe $260, an upright piano $364, a hot tub $390 and a pool table $603. Each is carried out by the crew, and the disposal is inside the figure. Our hot tub removal page covers the biggest of them.

One visit takes the lot

The garage, the spare room, the deck and the shed can all go on the same booking, priced as a single load rather than as several small jobs. That is both cheaper and one appointment instead of three, and the crew works room by room from wherever things are standing.

Cheat sheet

The short version

The alternative is one that publishes its prices: $126 a sofa, $143 a mattress set, $164 a fridge, $241 for a quarter truck up to $732 for a full load, $75 minimum in Raleigh, disposal inside every figure. Nothing added for stairs, floors, carry distance or same-day booking, a free certificate of insurance when a building asks, and the total agreed before we set off. Describe your load and get the number in about a minute.
