1. One-paragraph summary
JunkRabbit Cincinnati is a junk removal service for Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, built for hillside steps, 19th-century rowhouse stairs and basements full of decades of storage. Over-the-Rhine walk-ups, Price Hill and Westwood homes from the early 1900s, UC rentals in Clifton Heights, and Northern Kentucky river cities like Covington and Newport all get the same flat per-item price, carried out from inside with no stairs fee. Customers pick items or upload a photo and see the 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 Cincinnati
Hills and rowhouse stairs
Mount Adams, Price Hill and Clifton Heights homes sit above long runs of front steps, and Over-the-Rhine rowhouses from 1865 to the 1880s have narrow stairs. Carry-out from any floor is included. See junk removal on Cincinnati's hills and rowhouse stairs.
Basements in older houses
Early-1900s houses across Price Hill, Westwood, Northside and Norwood have basements that collect appliances, furniture and boxes for decades. See basement cleanout cost.
University move-outs
UC has more than 53,000 students and only about 6,500 on campus, and NKU, Xavier and Miami add their own lease turnovers in spring and August. Roommates can split one booking. See UC student move-out junk removal.
Northern Kentucky's Rumpke rules
In Newport and Rumpke areas, curbside pickup needs a technician's Freon sticker on fridges and plastic-wrapped mattresses. A pickup needs neither, at the same prices as Cincinnati. See Northern Kentucky bulk trash rules.

6. How a pickup works
- See the price. Pick items or upload a photo at cincinnati.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 City of Cincinnati Bulk Item Collection
The City of Cincinnati collects bulk items by appointment only, scheduled online or through 311, using a claw truck. Each appointment covers up to five items, set out at the curb no earlier than the night before and reachable by the claw, clear of overhead wires, parked cars and trees; up to three small items under 45 pounds can also go out weekly next to carts. It accepts couches, mattresses and box springs, refrigerators and freezers, stoves, washers and dryers, water heaters, exercise equipment, cabinets, doors and rolled carpet. It does not take construction debris, lumber, concrete, windows or siding, hot tubs, grand pianos, anything over 6 feet tall, tires (separate request), batteries, paint, chemicals, propane, gas-powered tools or lawnmowers.
If you live inside City limits, have five or fewer accepted items and can carry them to a reachable curb, use the appointment. JunkRabbit is for everything else: items in basements, walk-ups and hillside homes, remodel debris, hot tubs, anything over 6 feet, more than five items, Norwood, the townships and Northern Kentucky, and anything that has to go today. See 5 things Cincinnati bulk pickup won't take.
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 Cincinnati for a side-by-side.
