The rain clock
With a curbside pickup like Dropcurb's, items wait outside until the hauler arrives. In Seattle weather, upholstery and mattresses soak through fast and get heavier, and they stop being donatable. A JunkRabbit crew collects from inside, so nothing ever sits out in the rain.
Daylight basements and hillside steps
Homes on Queen Anne, Capitol Hill and in West Seattle often have exterior steps and daylight basements full of storage. JunkRabbit crews carry items up, down and out at no stairs fee. Dropcurb asks you to get them outside first.
Towers, townhomes and timing
South Lake Union and Belltown buildings usually want a certificate of insurance; JunkRabbit emails one free within 1 hour of booking, which Dropcurb's site doesn't mention. You book a 2-hour arrival window, 7 days a week from 8am to midnight, with same-day pickup when you book by 4 PM; Dropcurb's same-day cutoff is 2 PM.
