When the residence halls close in early May and the Maryland Parkway leases end, the mattress, the futon, the mini-fridge, and the cheap furniture all have to go — fast, and usually in the heat. We clear it all in one flat-priced trip from a $75 minimum, carried straight out of the dorm room or apartment so you don't rent a truck or lift a thing. Same-day during move week, donation routed, no Nevada sales tax on the service.

Upload a Photo & Get Quote →UNLV's move-out isn't spread across the summer — it's a short, concentrated surge. When spring residence halls close in early-to-mid May, right after finals, thousands of students empty out of the dorms and the surrounding Maryland Parkway apartment belt at almost the same time. What's left behind is remarkably consistent: a mattress and box spring, a futon, a mini-fridge, a desk and chair, a cheap couch, and a pile of the stuff that isn't worth packing for the drive home. None of it fits in a car, most of it is too big for the dorm dumpster, and nobody wants to haul it in the pre-summer heat.
Confirm your exact 2026 hall-closing date with UNLV Housing at 702-895-3489, then book us for that week. Because everyone moves at once, the smart move is to reserve early — send a photo whenever you know your date, lock the flat price, and we'll be there when the room has to be empty.
Snap the room or the pile — mattress, futon, mini-fridge, furniture. You get an exact flat price back in seconds, no walkthrough.
Choose a window around your hall-closing or lease-end date. Move week fills fast, so the earlier you book, the better your slot.
A vetted, insured crew carries everything down and out of the dorm or apartment, donates what's usable, and you're done. You lift nothing.
Flat and photo-quoted before anyone drives — the carry-out and disposal are already in the number, with no Nevada sales tax on the service. The usual student items each have a clean flat price, and a whole apartment cleared with roommates prices as truck-fill, which almost always works out cheaper per person than everyone handling their own stuff.

$75 minimum. Stairs and dorm hallways are included — no surcharge. Splitting a whole unit with roommates? Send one photo of everything and we'll price the lot in one trip. No Nevada sales tax on the service.
| Option | Cost | Speed | The catch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dorm dumpster / trash room | Free | Now | Won't take a mattress, futon, or mini-fridge; housing can bill you for oversized items left behind |
| Rent a truck and self-haul | $40–$100+ + fuel | Half a day | You drive it to a transfer station or Apex, you do the lifting, and you need a second person |
| Donate (Goodwill, Salvation Army) | Free | 1–2 weeks | Must be clean and undamaged; timing rarely lines up with a one-week move-out, and they won't take a used mattress |
| Traditional full-service hauler | $75–$150+ per item, on-site quote | 2–3 days | You must be there to be quoted, and move week books out |
| JunkRabbit | Flat, from $75 | Same day in move week | None — photo quote, mattress + furniture in one trip, we carry it out |
Truck-rental and traditional-hauler figures are typical market ranges, not JunkRabbit prices; our flat rates are above.
Not really, and that's the whole problem at move-out. The dorm dumpster and trash room won't take a mattress, a futon, or a mini-fridge — they're built for bagged trash, and housing can bill your account for oversized items left in a room or hallway. Off campus, Republic Services' residential curbside bulk pickup only helps if you're in a house on the schedule, and even then it runs every other week, caps at a 6-foot limit, requires a soiled mattress wrapped in plastic and out by 5 a.m., and won't send crews to carry anything out (bulk line: 702-735-5151). A mini-fridge counts as a freon appliance and needs a separate scheduled appointment on top of that. None of that lines up with a lease that ends on one specific day and a car that can't fit a mattress.
That gap is exactly what we fill. We come during move week, carry the mattress, the mini-fridge, and the furniture straight out of the room in one visit, handle the freon fridge with no separate appointment, and route what's usable to donation — one flat photo price, no waiting for a bulk day, no billing surprise from housing.
A student move-out is one of the more wasteful moments of the year — a lot of usable mini-fridges, desks, and furniture gets thrown out simply because the semester ended. So we sort it. Anything still good is routed to donation — Goodwill of Southern Nevada, Deseret Industries, the Salvation Army, and Habitat for Humanity ReStore — where it goes on to another student or a valley family instead of Republic's Apex Regional Landfill. Metal and appliances are recycled (with any refrigerant recovered), and only the genuine remainder is disposed of. It's all inside the flat price, with no Nevada sales tax.
If your whole apartment is emptying out at the same time — which, at lease-end, it usually is — don't each book your own mattress pickup. Have us clear the entire unit as one flat truck-fill, and split it. All the mattresses, the shared couch, the futons, the mini-fridges, the desks, and the odds and ends go in one visit, and a full truck ($985) divided across three or four roommates is almost always cheaper per person than everyone handling their own pieces separately. Send one photo of the whole apartment and we'll price the lot.
"Halls closed the day after my last final and I had a mattress, a mini-fridge, and a busted futon with no way to move any of it. Booked from a photo, they came that afternoon, carried it all down, done. Flat price, no truck rental."
"Four of us splitting an apartment off Maryland Parkway, lease ending, everyone leaving. They cleared the whole place — beds, couch, desks, two mini-fridges — as one flat price we split. Way cheaper than doing it separately."
"My son was graduating and I'm in Reno, so I couldn't be there. Sent a photo of his apartment, got a flat quote, and they cleared it during move week and donated most of it. Handled the whole thing remotely — huge relief."
How much does it cost?
Flat, photo-quoted, $75 minimum: twin mattress $111, futon $150, mini-fridge $155, desk $112. A whole roommate apartment prices as truck-fill ($325 to $985). Disposal included, no Nevada sales tax.
When do the halls close?
Early-to-mid May, right after finals. Confirm your exact 2026 date with UNLV Housing at 702-895-3489, then book us for that week — move week fills fast.
Mattress and furniture in one trip?
Yes — the mattress, futon, mini-fridge, desk, and couch all in a single flat-priced visit. We carry it out; you lift nothing.
Same-day during move week?
Usually, but it's our busiest UNLV window — book ahead, and reserve early in the day for the best chance at same-day.
Whole apartments with roommates?
Yes — the entire unit as one flat truck-fill the roommates split, almost always cheaper per person than going solo.
What happens to the stuff?
Usable furniture and mini-fridges go to donation (Goodwill, Deseret, Salvation Army, Habitat ReStore); the rest is recycled or disposed of, all in the flat price.
