What JunkRabbit Customers Say
San Jose is a brand-new JunkRabbit market with no local reviews yet — the cards below are verified Google reviews left by Miami customers.
“Had a plan AND morning confirmation with [another junk remover] and they canceled last minute, an hour before. I was in a bind, and I called & texted the folks at JunkRabbit. They were fast, courteous and available on short notice.”
“Communication was excellent, the haulers were so fast and efficient and work so hard. Very grateful for the help today!!”
Can I get an accurate junk removal quote from a photo?
Yes, for most San José jobs. A clear photo shows what an estimator would look for: what the items are, roughly how big the pile is and how it is packed. Single items such as a sofa, a mattress set or a fridge are priced straight from the flat list, at $126, $143 and $164. Mixed loads, like a garage in Cambrian or a storage unit in Santa Clara, are matched to a truck-fill tier, from $241 for a quarter truck to $732 for a full truck. Take a wide shot plus one from another angle so depth is visible. The price is set before you book and only changes if you approve a change, for example if you add items on the day.
Can I book junk removal completely online, without giving my phone number first?
Yes. You can get a price, pick a two-hour arrival window and book entirely online, in minutes, without a phone call. Upload a photo or pick items from the list, see the total, choose a time and confirm. Booking simply needs the details to get the crew to the right place and keep you updated on the day. If your building in downtown San José or North San José needs a certificate of insurance, you add the building details and JunkRabbit emails the COI within one hour.
How do I get an instant price for junk removal without calling anyone?
Go to the instant quote page and either upload a photo of what is going or pick items from the published list. The total appears before you book. For a single item, the price is simply the list price, such as $103 for a queen mattress or $133 for a washer. For several items, it is the sum: a sofa and a loveseat are $126 + $119 = $245. For a garage, a storage unit or a room of mixed things, the photo is matched to a truck tier. Nobody has to come out and look, and nobody has to call you to talk you through it.
How do junk removal companies price jobs in San Jose?
Around San José you will see three common models. Some companies, including national franchises, price full-service jobs by volume, with the estimate given once a crew sees the load. Curbside services price items you have already put outside, which overlaps with the City of San José's free Junk Pickup for up to 12 items. Flat-price services publish a price per item and per truck fill. JunkRabbit uses the flat model: a sofa is $126, a quarter truck $241 and a full truck $732, with carry-out from any floor and disposal included, and a $100 order minimum.
Are there junk removal services in San Jose that don't charge hidden fees?
JunkRabbit's flat price covers carrying items out from anywhere in the home, loading and disposal. There is no stairs fee, no walk-up fee, no same-day surcharge and no sales tax added. A sofa from a third-floor walk-up in a Santa Clara garden complex is the same $126 as one from a garage in Blossom Valley. A certificate of insurance for your building is emailed within one hour at no charge. The order minimum is $100, which is shown up front. The price you see before booking is the price you pay, unless you approve a change.
What if the price changes when the crew arrives?
The price only changes if you approve a change. The common reason is that more is going than the photo showed, such as a second couch in the garage or a box of electronics found in a closet. In that case, the crew shows you the updated price from the same published list before loading the extra items, and you decide. If you do not approve, they take what was booked at the booked price. Taking clear photos of everything, including closets, side yards and the back of the garage, is the easiest way to make sure nothing changes.
Why photos beat a phone estimate
On a phone call, you have to describe a pile from memory, and the person on the other end has to guess. That is why phone estimates in the South Bay often come with a wide range or a promise to confirm on site. A photo removes the guessing. It shows whether the dresser is solid wood or particleboard, whether the garage is half full or floor to ceiling, and whether the sectional has three pieces or five. That means a flat price you can plan around, which matters when you are juggling a lease end, movers and an elevator booking.
What to photograph so the quote holds
- The whole pile or room from the doorway, plus one shot from another angle so depth shows.
- The garage from the open door and from each back corner. In slab-built South Bay homes, the garage is usually the fullest space.
- Side yards and sheds, where old fencing, patio furniture and hot tubs hide.
- Heavy items such as fridges, safes, pianos, treadmills and cast-iron tubs.
- Anything upstairs, and the stairway itself for garden-complex walk-ups.
- Building access for towers: the loading dock or service elevator, if you know where it is.
- Inside closets and cabinets if their contents are going.
Can you book same-day in San Jose without calling?
Yes. Book by 4 PM and same-day pickup is usually possible across San José and the South Bay, at the same flat price with no same-day surcharge. You choose a two-hour arrival window, and crews work seven days a week from 8am to midnight, so an evening slot after the movers leave or after work is easy to fit. Everything happens online: get the price from a photo, pick the window and book. For buildings that need a certificate of insurance or an elevator reservation, book the elevator first and choose a window inside it.
Buildings with their own paperwork
Many San José buildings have their own paperwork. High-rise and mid-rise apartments downtown, in North San José, Santa Clara, Mountain View and Redwood City usually require a certificate of insurance naming the building, plus a reserved service elevator or loading dock window. JunkRabbit emails the COI within one hour of booking. HOA communities in Evergreen, Silver Creek and Almaden Valley often frown on furniture left at the curb, which is no issue when everything is carried out from inside. Property managers can set up one account covering several properties.
What the price includes
- Carry-out from anywhere in the home, on any floor, with no stairs fee.
- Loading by vetted, insured local haulers.
- Disposal, including California's special items such as electronics and mattresses.
- A certificate of insurance for your building, emailed within one hour.
- A two-hour arrival window you choose, seven days a week, 8am to midnight.
- Donation and recycling: we try to donate usable items when local charities accept them, and we recycle whatever we can.
- No sales tax and no same-day surcharge.
