1. One-paragraph summary
JunkRabbit Houston is a junk removal service for Houston and the surrounding suburbs, built for a metro where many addresses have no municipal bulky pickup at all. Bungalows in the Heights, Galleria-area high-rises, Meyerland ranch homes and master-planned communities in Katy, Cypress and The Woodlands all get the same flat per-item price, carried out from inside. Customers pick items or upload a photo and see an itemized total before booking, with no call needed. Vetted, insured local haulers work 7 days a week from 8am to midnight, with same-day pickup when booked by 4 PM. A standard sofa is $126, a queen mattress $103 and a full truck $732.
2. What JunkRabbit is built for in Houston
A patchwork of jurisdictions
Greater Houston is split between the City of Houston, smaller cities and unincorporated Harris County, where trash often comes through a MUD or subdivision contract that leaves bulky items out. A pickup from inside works the same at every address, whoever collects the trash.
Flooding and storm cleanup
After a storm or flood, waterlogged furniture, drywall and appliances need to go quickly. Crews take them from inside the house; see flood cleanouts and hurricane debris removal.
Ditches instead of curbs
Many Houston streets have open drainage ditches rather than curbs, and items left across a culvert can block drainage. Pickup from inside means nothing has to be staged by the road.
Master-planned communities and high-rises
HOAs in Katy, Cypress, The Woodlands and Sugar Land limit what can sit out front, and Galleria, Medical Center and Downtown buildings usually want a certificate of insurance. JunkRabbit emails a free COI to the managing agent within 1 hour of booking.

6. How a pickup works
- See the price. Pick items or upload a photo at houston.getjunkrabbit.com. The total appears on screen, with no call and no phone number needed to see it.
- Book. Choose an arrival window, any day 8am to midnight, and add a card. Same-day is available if booked by 4 PM.
- (If needed) COI. Add the managing agent at checkout; the certificate goes out within 1 hour.
- Pickup. A vetted, insured local hauler comes inside, takes items from any floor, disassembles if needed and carries everything out. You get text updates on the day.
- Price check. If there are extra items that weren't in the booking, the crew shows the updated price and waits for your approval before loading them.
- Disposal. We try to donate usable items when local charities accept them and recycle whatever we can; refrigerants are recovered from fridges and AC units.
7. vs Houston-area bulky collection
Whether you can put furniture out in Houston depends on who serves your street. The City of Houston and some suburbs run scheduled heavy-trash collection with set-out windows and placement rules, but much of unincorporated Harris County relies on MUD or subdivision contracts with private haulers, where bulky items are often excluded. Refrigerant appliances, electronics, tires, paint and construction debris are the usual exclusions, and HOA covenants apply on top. Check your own city's or MUD's current rules.
If your street has scheduled bulky collection, your items qualify and you can wait for the date, that route is the cheapest. JunkRabbit covers the rest: addresses with no municipal bulky pickup, excluded items like fridges, TVs and tires, flood and storm cleanup, items inside the house, and anything that has to go today. See can you leave furniture on the curb in Houston?.
8. vs national operators
National franchises such as 1-800-GOT-JUNK and Junk King typically quote by truck volume and confirm the final price once the crew sees the job. JunkRabbit publishes a flat price for each item online, so the total is known before booking, and the job is done by a vetted, insured local hauler. There is no stairs fee and no same-day surcharge. See JunkRabbit vs 1-800-GOT-JUNK in Houston for a side-by-side.

Will the price change when the crew arrives?
No surprise charges. The price is set when you book and only changes if you approve it, for example if there are extra items that weren't in the booking.

Do you work with property managers and landlords?
Yes. Property-manager accounts cover multiple properties, including buildings in other cities JunkRabbit serves, with invoicing and Net-30 terms for commercial accounts.
