Upload Photos & Get Quote →Research Triangle Park is not a neighborhood, and hauling here is not a household errand. It's seven thousand acres of corporate campuses — the long-established names like IBM and Fidelity alongside a couple of hundred smaller companies in leased suites and lab buildings, spread across Durham and Wake counties under the 27709 and 27713 ZIPs. The work is office furniture and electronics, generated by things that happen on a corporate calendar rather than a personal one: a lease ending, a floor consolidating, a hybrid-work downsize, a refresh cycle, a company leaving the Park entirely.
Two things follow from that, and they shape this whole page. First, there is no municipal fallback. Every "just schedule the city pickup" answer you'll find for a Triangle address is a residential program, and none of them serve commercial property. A campus with forty monitors and a floor of cubicles has no free option to compare against — the real choice is between paid routes. Second, electronics here are a compliance question, not a disposal question. North Carolina bans computers and televisions from landfill disposal outright, so a facilities manager who lets a decommissioned floor go into a general-waste dumpster has signed off on something the state doesn't allow.
So we quote it the way a facilities or office manager actually needs it quoted: one flat number from photographs, before anyone is dispatched, that a procurement system will accept — not an hourly estimate that moves, and not a truck fraction guessed at on arrival. Then we work the dock, the elevator and the hours your building gives us, and we route the electronics to certified recycling with documentation of where the load went.
A shot down each row of cubicles, each storage room, each staged pallet of equipment, plus the dock and the elevator. That's a scope — no site visit needed to get a number.
A flat quote for the whole project and a realistic day count, split furniture-first and electronics-second if IT still has drives to clear. Easy to route through procurement.
Evening, overnight or weekend, to the dock time your facilities team assigns, COI filed in advance, floors protected, corridors clear by the time staff return.
Flat, quoted from photographs, with the carry-out, the dock work, the drive and the disposal already inside the number. Defined lists price per piece; floors and decommissions price by volume.

Third-party context for a procurement file: Junk Doctors publishes a Triangle rate card of a $135 minimum, quarter truck $298, half $488, three-quarter $608, full $738 (junkdrs.com/pricing). McJunk publishes a $175 minimum, quarter $305, half $435, full $695 — plus a $10–$50 trip charge and $10 per CRT television. Both are volume estimates confirmed once a crew is on site; ours is confirmed from photographs before dispatch.
| Option | Cost | Speed | The catch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Municipal curbside bulky pickup | — | — | Not available. Raleigh's $35 Bulky Load and Durham's curbside bulky collection are residential programs for household trash customers. A commercial campus is not eligible |
| Roll-off dumpster on site | Rental + haul + tonnage | Days parked at the building | You load it, it occupies parking or a dock lane for days — and computers, monitors and TVs legally can't go in it |
| Furniture liquidator / asset recovery | Varies; sometimes pays | Weeks | Takes the resellable systems furniture and leaves the rest — mismatched chairs, damaged panels, dead electronics — behind for someone else |
| Traditional truck-fill hauler | ~$135–$738 published Triangle rates | 1–3 days | Volume estimated and usually confirmed only when the crew arrives; e-waste routing often an extra line |
| JunkRabbit | $112 a desk · $295–$895 by load · project quoted as one total | After-hours & weekend windows | None — flat photo-scoped price, dock-coordinated, certified e-waste routing documented and included |
Competitor figures above are published third-party rates, not ours. Our prices are the flat numbers in the tables above. These routes combine well — liquidate the systems furniture that has resale value, then have us clear everything it leaves behind.
Start with the thing most searches get wrong. Every Triangle bulky-pickup price you'll find quoted online is a residential program. The City of Raleigh's $35 Bulky Load, $70 special or appliance item and free weekly electronics collection are for City of Raleigh household trash customers. Durham runs its own separate residential curbside bulky collection with its own rules. Neither serves a corporate campus. Research Triangle Park is commercial property in Durham and Wake counties, and commercial property in North Carolina arranges its own waste and bulk hauling privately. There is no free option here to weigh against a paid one — which is genuinely unusual, and worth knowing before someone on your team spends a morning trying to schedule one.
Then the part that carries actual risk. North Carolina's landfill disposal bans prohibit computers and televisions from landfill disposal outright, and the same list covers white goods and appliances, whole tires, lead-acid batteries, used oil, yard trash, pallets, and fluorescent and mercury-containing devices. A decommissioned floor is precisely the load that hits several of those at once: monitors, desktops, printers, a dead break-room refrigerator, a stack of pallets the workstations arrived on. Sending that to a general-waste dumpster isn't just untidy practice — it's disposal the state doesn't permit, and it's the facilities team's name on the ticket. A campus needs a certified recycler and a record of where the material went, which is exactly the gap between "somebody with a truck" and a routing partner.
What we actually do with it. Computers, monitors, printers and televisions go to certified electronics recycling and we can document the route for your records. Metal — desk frames, cabinets, shelving, workstation panels, appliances — goes to scrap; the Durham Waste Disposal and Recycling Center recycles metal and appliances free of charge, and transfers general municipal solid waste at about $65 a ton, which is why sorting a load properly is cheaper for us as well as legal. Usable furniture is offered to Habitat for Humanity ReStore, which runs ten stores across Wake, Johnston, Durham and Orange counties and takes desks, chairs, shelving and cabinets. Only the genuine remainder is disposed. None of that is a separate line on your quote — the sorting and the routing are the job, not an add-on.
One boundary we'll state plainly: we are not a data-destruction vendor. Drives should be wiped or destroyed by your IT or your ITAD provider before hardware leaves the floor. What we provide is custody from your dock to a certified recycler, and paperwork showing it got there.
Electronics: certified recycling, documented. North Carolina's landfill ban on computers and televisions means there is only one legal destination for a decommissioned floor of hardware, and we use it. Ask and we'll give you documentation of the route to keep in the file — for an ISO-certified or publicly reporting company, that record is often the point of hiring a hauler rather than filling a dumpster.
Metal: scrap, not landfill. Desk frames, filing cabinets, shelving, workstation panels and appliances go to metal recycling. The Durham Waste Disposal and Recycling Center takes appliances and metal for recycling free, and charges about $65 a ton to transfer general municipal solid waste — the economics point the same direction as the rules.
Furniture: donation where it's usable. A four-year-old conference table, a run of serviceable task chairs or a wall of shelving is worth far more to Habitat for Humanity ReStore (ten Triangle stores) than to a landfill, and we route it there when it's in shape to be resold. Receipts on request for your sustainability or CSR reporting.
Only the remainder is disposed — damaged laminate, panel fabric, mixed non-recyclable material. It's all inside the flat number, sorting included.
Access is the whole logistics problem at RTP, and it's nothing like a house. Buildings here have loading docks with assigned times, service elevators that have to be booked and padded, badge and escort procedures for vendors, and property managers who want a certificate of insurance on file before a crew is on site. We'd rather have all of that before the truck leaves than discover it at the gate — send us the requirement, the certificate-holder wording, the dock time and the elevator rules when you book, and it's arranged in advance.
Hours matter more here than price does. Decommissioning a floor at eleven on a Tuesday morning means a service elevator tied up, a corridor full of panels and staff working around a load-out. We schedule evenings, overnight and weekends so the floor is clear before people come back, and so your facilities team isn't fielding complaints. There's no after-hours premium bolted onto the quote for it.
The Park itself is spread out. Campuses sit on long private drives with their own internal roads, gates and visitor procedures, and the difference between "building 4" and the building with the dock we actually need is worth a sentence on the phone. Some tenants sit in leased multi-tenant buildings where a shared dock is scheduled by the property manager rather than the tenant — tell us which situation you're in and we'll work through the right party.
Floors get protected, and we stage inside. Nothing piles up outside a building entrance or in a visitor lot. Panels and furniture come down on protected routes, the load goes straight onto the truck, and the space is left swept and ready for the next fit-out, the landlord's walkthrough or the lease handback.
"Decommissioned a floor at our RTP campus — old cubicles, desks, monitors. Recycled the electronics, hauled the rest after hours. Flat price, easy to bill."
"Office refresh — old furniture out overnight, e-waste recycled responsibly. Quoted from photos, no sales tax. Professional crew."
How much does it cost?
Flat and photo-quoted: desk $112, L-desk $139, chair $82, filing cabinet $81–$101, storage cabinet $99, shelving $95, conference table $201, copier $131, monitor $78, desktop $83, printer $78, boxed electronics $104, large TV $98. Floors and decommissions go by volume — quarter truck $295, half $525, full $895, multi-floor quoted as one total. $75 minimum, carry-out and disposal included, no NC sales tax.
Can we just use a municipal bulky pickup?
No. Raleigh's $35 Bulky Load and Durham's curbside bulky collection are residential programs for household trash customers. RTP is commercial property, so no municipal route exists — it's a private hauler, a dumpster, or a certified recycler.
Can computers and monitors go in the dumpster?
No — North Carolina bans computers and televisions from landfill disposal outright, along with appliances, whole tires, batteries, used oil, yard trash, pallets and fluorescent devices. We route all of it to certified recycling and can document where the load went.
Do you wipe drives?
No, and we won't pretend otherwise. Have IT or your ITAD provider wipe or destroy drives before the hardware leaves the floor. We provide custody from your dock to a certified recycler and the paperwork showing it got there.
Can you work after hours or on a weekend?
Yes — evenings, overnight and weekends, to whatever dock time your facilities team assigns, with no after-hours premium on the quote.
Do you provide a COI?
Yes, on request. Send the requirement and certificate-holder wording at booking and we file it before the crew is dispatched. Crews are insured, vetted and will follow campus badge and escort procedures.
How do you handle a multi-floor decommission?
Photos of each row, storage room and staging area plus the dock and elevator, then one flat total for the whole project and a realistic day count — sequenced floor by floor, or furniture first and electronics after IT finishes.
Is it cheaper than a traditional truck-fill hauler?
For a defined list of pieces, usually — you pay the item price rather than an estimated truck fraction. Junk Doctors publishes $135 minimum to $738 a full truck; McJunk $175 to $695 plus a $10–$50 trip charge and $10 per CRT TV. Ours is confirmed from photos before dispatch, with dock work and e-waste routing included.
