“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!”
Junk Removal Indianapolis
Junk Removal in Indianapolis
Indy keeps its junk in two places: down the basement stairs in the older neighborhoods, and in the three-car garage out in the suburbs. Photograph whatever’s there and JunkRabbit sends back one flat price — $126 for a sofa, $103 for a queen mattress, $241 for a quarter of the truck — then a vetted crew does the lifting.
The service area is all of Marion County plus the towns within about 30 miles of Monument Circle, from Zionsville and Noblesville down to Franklin and Shelbyville. Indiana doesn’t charge sales tax on junk removal, so the price has no tax line added to it.
Customer Reviews
What JunkRabbit Customers Say
Indianapolis is JunkRabbit’s newest market and has no local reviews yet. The ones below are real Google reviews from our Miami customers, for the same flat-price service with vetted crews.
“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.”
“Prompt and professional. I will definitely use again.”

Three Steps, No Estimate Visit
Photograph it
Upload or text a picture of the pile, the room, or the single piece. Items are identified and priced from the Indianapolis list.
Choose a window
Pick a pickup time that fits — same-day when a crew has space, otherwise the next opening you like.
Watch it leave
The crew carries everything out from where it sits, loads the truck and routes each item to donation, recycling or disposal.
Heavy Trash, Excluded Cities and Where We Fit
Indianapolis calls its bulky-item collection “heavy trash,” but who actually collects on your street depends on where you live inside Marion County, and the suburbs have programs of their own.
Unigov’s Four Exceptions
The 1970 city–county merger known as Unigov left Beech Grove, Lawrence, Speedway and Southport as “excluded cities” that keep their own municipal services. Cumberland’s Marion County portion joins them on January 1, 2027. Their trash programs are not the same as the rest of Indianapolis.
Check Your Own Program First
Limits, schedules and which items qualify vary by provider. If your program covers what you have and you can get it to the curb on time, use it. Call us for the rest: basements, several rooms, appliances, or anything you need gone this week.
Basements Are the Job Here
Marion County’s typical home was built around 1973, and the older city inside I-465 — Lockerbie, the Old Northside, Fountain Square, Irvington, Meridian-Kessler — goes back a century or more. That means stairs, low ceilings and decades of stored boxes.
What Comes Up the Stairs
- Old furnaces and tank water heaters
- Basement gyms and weight benches
- Holiday storage and boxed paperwork
- Spare couches, bar stools and pool tables
- Paint cans and leftover remodel scraps
- Dehumidifiers and chest freezers
Suburban Garages Too
Hamilton County subdivisions come with big garages and HOA rules about curb piles. We load straight from the garage door.
No Tax Line
Indiana treats hauling away your own property as a service it doesn’t tax, so nothing is added to the quoted total.

Indianapolis Junk Removal FAQs
What does junk removal cost in Indianapolis?
Items are priced one by one — a sofa is $126, a queen mattress $103, a refrigerator $164 — and larger loads go by truck-fill, $241 for a quarter up to $732 for the whole truck. Every job starts at $75.
Is there sales tax on junk removal in Indiana?
No. Indiana’s sales tax applies to goods and rentals, and a service performed on property the hauler doesn’t own isn’t a retail sale under state rules, so your quote carries no tax line.
Why not just wait for heavy trash?
If your program takes what you have and you can put it out on the right day, it’s a fine option. People book us when the items are still in the basement, when there’s more than a curb pile’s worth, or when it needs to be gone before a closing or a move.
Do you serve Lawrence, Beech Grove, Speedway and Southport?
Yes. The excluded cities run their own municipal services, but for us they’re part of the same service area at the same prices.
Will the crew carry things up from the basement?
Yes, that’s included. Tell us about tight turns or low ceilings when you book and the crew brings the right straps and dollies.
How far out from downtown do you go?
About 30 miles from Monument Circle plus every address in Marion County — Zionsville, Noblesville, Greenfield, Shelbyville, Franklin, Martinsville, Danville and Lebanon are all inside it.
