Rowhouse stairs and English basements
Dropcurb picks up items that are already outside; you arrange the carrying. In a DC rowhouse that means getting a dresser down narrow interior stairs, or a sofa up and out of an English basement with a low doorway.
JunkRabbit crews do the carrying and the disassembly, at no stairs fee, and nothing has to wait in the alley or on the tree box.
Condo buildings on private contracts
Many DC condo and apartment buildings use private haulers and expect vendors to provide a certificate of insurance and book the service elevator. JunkRabbit emails a free COI within 1 hour of booking. Dropcurb's site doesn't mention COIs.
