Upper flats and long staircases
Dropcurb picks up items you've already moved outside. In San Francisco that often means a long interior staircase from a Victorian or Edwardian upper flat, then a steep sidewalk. JunkRabbit crews come up, carry everything down, disassemble when needed and load the truck, at no stairs fee.
Narrow footways and street cleaning
Furniture staged on a narrow San Francisco footway blocks the sidewalk and has to dodge street-cleaning schedules until pickup. A JunkRabbit pickup goes straight from the flat to the truck, so nothing sits out on the street.
Towers, garages and timing
SoMa, Rincon Hill and Mission Bay buildings usually want a certificate of insurance; JunkRabbit emails one free within 1 hour of booking, which Dropcurb's site doesn't mention. In the Sunset and Richmond, crews clear garage-level storage directly. 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 schedules a day with a 2 PM same-day cutoff.
