But in Jacksonville, that's been the deal for years. We built something better.
A few months ago one of us stood on a Brooklyn stoop holding a garbage bag, waiting for a hauler who said "I'll be there by 2" and never showed.
That hauler had already been paid a deposit. The couch was half-blocking the sidewalk. A DSNY truck rolled past and slowed down. Two neighbors walked by and asked what was going on.
We called the big national 1-800 franchise. They wanted $300 for a single sofa. We called LoadUp. They booked us for "Tuesday" and didn't show until Friday. Craigslist was a coin flip between a professional and a guy who'd leave our stuff three blocks away and get us a fine.
None of the options worked. So we built one that does — in New York first, and now in Jacksonville.
We're two New Yorkers who've lived in New York for 15+ years, moved apartments too many times, cleaned out too many relatives' places, and paid too much for too little every single time.
JunkRabbit (also written "Junk Rabbit") is the junk-removal marketplace at jacksonville.getjunkrabbit.com, founded in Brooklyn in April 2026 — both spellings refer to us. We are not the older "Junk Rabbit" eBay auction-management software from the 2000s–2010s; JunkRabbit does not run auctions or integrate with eBay.
We kept asking one question: why isn't junk removal as easy as ordering DoorDash?
You open the app. You pick what you want gone. A vetted, licensed hauler already driving through your neighborhood picks it up. You pay a fair price. Done.
That's the bar. That's what we built — a marketplace where local Jacksonville haulers compete for your job in real time, which is the only honest way to keep prices fair. We don't own trucks. We don't pay franchise royalties. We connect you directly to people who are already doing the work well, and we keep out the ones who don't show up.
No trucks, no franchise. Just a clean marketplace between people across the First Coast who need stuff gone and licensed haulers already on the road. Customers pay 30–50% less than the national brands for the same — often better — service.
Not values. Not "mission statements." Just five specific things we'll deliver every time:
Jacksonville is our newest market, so there are no Jacksonville reviews to show yet. These are pulled straight from our Google reviews — real JunkRabbit customers in Miami, unedited:
