Homes without a curb
Dropcurb's model starts with you: move items to the curb, driveway or side of the house, and it collects them from there. In Silver Lake, the Hollywood Hills or along a Venice walk street, the nearest place a truck can stop may be down a long flight of steps or around the block.
JunkRabbit crews carry items from the house to the truck, up or down those steps, with no stairs fee.
Courtyard apartments and managed buildings
Koreatown and Mid-Wilshire courtyard buildings mean stairs, narrow walkways and managers who don't want furniture left by the bins. JunkRabbit takes it straight from the unit. Buildings that need a certificate of insurance get one free within 1 hour of booking, which Dropcurb's site doesn't mention.
Book a time, not just a day
JunkRabbit books a 2-hour arrival window, 7 days a week from 8am to midnight, with same-day pickup when you book by 4 PM. Dropcurb schedules pickup for a day with a text on the way, and its same-day cutoff is 2 PM. That difference adds up when you're working around LA traffic and a move-out inspection.
