Junk Removal Baltimore
In a Baltimore rowhouse the junk is almost never by the front door. It’s at the bottom of a steep basement stair or two flights up under the eaves. Send JunkRabbit a photo and you get a flat price in seconds — a sofa is $126, a queen mattress $103, a quarter-truck basement clear-out $241 — and the crew does every step of the carrying.
We work all of Baltimore city plus the ring about 30 miles out: Towson and Dundalk, Catonsville and Pikesville, Glen Burnie and Annapolis, Columbia, Ellicott City and Bel Air.
Customer Reviews
We’re just opening in Baltimore, so there are no Baltimore reviews yet. These are real Google reviews left by JunkRabbit customers in Miami.
“Louis was so wonderful! Communicated ahead of time to let me know when he would be arriving, expertly disassembled a couch to remove it from the apartment and left the space immaculate afterwards!”
“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.”
“Good communication, very responsive and easy to schedule on a short notice. Showed up on time and the haulers were in and out quickly and efficiently. Thanks!”
Each item in the catalog carries a published Baltimore price. The stairs, the basement, the carry down the alley and the disposal fee are all inside that one number.

No separate charge for any of these:
Maryland’s 6% sales tax covers goods and a short list of named services; hauling away household junk isn’t on that list, so no tax line is added to the service.
Past a handful of pieces, the job is priced by how much of the 16-cubic-yard truck it takes: $241 for a quarter, $431 for half, $732 for the full box. Your quote works out the item total and the truck-fill total and charges the smaller of the two.
Photograph the basement from the bottom step — that one picture is usually enough for a firm number.
Get My Baltimore QuoteTake the photo where the stuff actually sits — the basement, the third-floor back room, the shed off the alley.
Adjust the item list, choose a window, and the flat total is set before anyone drives over.
Vetted, insured haulers bring it up or down the stairs, load it from the street or the alley, and route it to donation, recycling or disposal.
The city’s median home was built in 1947. That means brick and formstone rowhouses with steep, narrow stairs, full basements and rear yards on an alley — and a lot of furniture that went in decades ago and can’t come out the way it came in.
Old couches, water-stained boxes, dehumidifiers, broken washers, sagging shelving and the rest of what a basement collects. We haul it up the stair, one trip at a time.
A dresser on the third floor of a Charles Village rowhouse comes down the same narrow stair it went up. If it won’t turn the landing, it comes apart first.
Estates, investor rehabs and vacant rowhouses that need every room emptied at once, often more than one truckload.
When the back gate opens onto an alley, that’s often the shortest path to the truck. Tell us about the gate and any permit-parking on your block when you book.
Old plaster walls and original railings are part of what makes these houses worth keeping, so crews pad the tight turns before anything heavy moves past them.
Each service page lists its Baltimore prices, what the City’s bulk program will and won’t take, and the questions people ask most:
Baltimore is an independent city, legally separate from the Baltimore County that surrounds it, so the free program depends on which side of the line you live on. A Parkville or Perry Hall address can say “Baltimore, MD” and still be county.
Free, but you request it through 311 at least four working days ahead, it’s collected on a designated Saturday, and the limit is three bulk items a month. Items are marked “bulk collection” and set out for the crew.
Construction materials — sheetrock, siding, wood, roofing — plus auto parts, paint and stain, and anything hazardous. Renovation debris needs a private hauler.
Baltimore County, Anne Arundel, Howard, Harford and Carroll each run their own trash programs with their own rules. Check your county’s public works site before counting on a free pickup.
A fourth item this month, anything in the basement or upstairs, renovation debris, or a pickup that can’t wait for the next open Saturday.
If you’re in the city with three items or fewer, no construction material, and time to wait, the 311 program is a good deal and you should use it. Everything outside those lines is the work we do.
Houses built before the Second World War store things vertically — cellar, first floor, second floor, attic. Our week reflects that.
Usable furniture is set aside for donation, metal and appliances go to recyclers, and renovation debris goes to a facility that accepts construction material.
That sorting is part of the flat price, not an add-on.
Maryland has no local sales tax, and the state list of taxable services doesn’t include junk removal.
Curbside services ask you to get everything to the street yourself. Our crews go down to the basement and up to the top floor.
The price comes from the photo and the catalog, not from someone walking your rooms and guessing.
We know which side of the line your address is on, and we won’t quote you the wrong free program.
Every crew is insured and vetted, and a certificate of insurance can be arranged for Harbor East and downtown buildings.
Plaster, marble steps and hundred-year-old banisters get protected before a sofa moves past them.
No fuel surcharge, no separate dump fee, and no sales-tax line on the service.
All of Baltimore city, plus the county and the towns within about 30 miles of City Hall. Every page below covers one neighborhood or town in its own detail.
Also serving Cockeysville, Rosedale, White Marsh, Reisterstown, Severn, Hanover, Arnold, Gambrills, Savage, Abingdon, Joppa, Eldersburg, Hampstead, Kent Island and the towns in between — same flat prices.
Yes — basements are the most common Baltimore job we get. The crew carries everything up the stair, takes apart anything that won’t clear the turn, and the flat price already includes that work.
The City’s program is limited to three items a month, needs a 311 request at least four working days ahead, collects on a Saturday, and only takes what you’ve set out. We handle larger loads, anything still inside the house, renovation debris, and jobs that can’t wait.
Yes. Towson, Dundalk, Catonsville, Pikesville, Essex, Perry Hall and the rest of the county are covered at the same flat prices as the city.
Yes. Drywall, old cabinets, flooring and demolition leftovers are priced from your photo and hauled to a facility that accepts construction material.
No. Maryland taxes goods and a closed list of services, and junk removal isn’t among them. Your quote for the service carries no sales-tax line.
When a crew has an open window, same day is possible; otherwise you pick the next available slot when you accept the quote.
A photo gets you the exact flat price in seconds — from $75, anywhere from Towson to Annapolis.
We carry it up the stairs, load it from the street or the alley, and take it away.
