Pricing
How is a Kansas City photo quote calculated?
Every item in the photo is matched to the Kansas City catalog and added up. You see the total before you book, and you can send more photos if something was missed.
Is there a minimum charge?
Yes, $75. A single recliner ($98) or a single queen mattress ($103) already covers it.
Do basement stairs cost extra?
No. Basements, upper floors, walk-ups and elevators are all included in the flat price.
Is same-day pickup priced higher?
No. Whenever a crew has an opening today, you pay the same as any other day.
When does truck-fill beat item pricing?
On bigger jobs like a full basement, garage or estate. Truck-fill runs from $241 for a quarter load to $732 for the full 16 cubic yards, and the quote charges whichever method comes out lower.
Do Kansas pages and Missouri pages have different prices?
No. The same catalog covers both states, and neither state adds sales tax to the service.
Booking and Pickup Day
How quickly can a crew get to me?
Often the same or next day, depending on where you are and how big the job is. Rural edges of the area may be next-day.
Can I be away while you pick up?
Yes. Leave items in an unlocked garage or share an access code, and you’ll get photos when it’s done.
Who are the crews?
Vetted, insured local hauling crews working through JunkRabbit. You book and pay through us; they bring the truck.
Can you get onto Fort Leavenworth?
On-post pickups need installation access. Share your sponsorship details when you book and we’ll coordinate entry.
What We Take
Do you pick up leftover paint or a propane tank?
Yes, each with its own price: a one-gallon paint can is $30, a five-gallon bucket $52, and a twenty-pound propane tank $33.
Do you haul storm debris after hail or a tornado?
Yes — broken fencing, damaged furniture and wet household contents. See storm debris removal.
Where does everything end up?
Usable furniture goes to donation first, appliances to refrigerant recovery and metal recycling, electronics to recyclers, and the rest to licensed disposal.
Can you take pianos, pool tables and hot tubs?
Yes. An upright piano is $290, a pool table $603, and a hot tub $322, with the crew size each one needs.
