Junk Removal in Boston, MA | Same-Day Service Starts at $120

Boston moves fast — leases end, buildings turn over, renovations finish, and the city won't take half the things you need gone. We're based in Somerville, about 10 minutes from most Boston neighborhoods, and we've been hauling junk out of Boston triple-deckers, Beacon Hill walk-ups, Seaport high-rises, and Dorchester multifamilies since 2017. We go inside — up the stairs, out of the basement, through tight hallways — so you never drag anything to the curb. Same-day service when you call before 2PM. Text a photo to 781-267-5966 for an instant quote. Starts at $120, no hidden fees.

Boston's Department of Public Works provides weekly curbside collection for standard household trash and recycling. For bulk items, furniture, appliances, mattresses, and electronics, the rules get more complicated — and most residents don't find out until they try.

Standard furniture (sofas, chairs, bed frames, tables) can go out on your regular trash collection day without scheduling — but it must be at the curb by 6AM and must not block pedestrian pathways or active roadways.

Appliances containing Freon — refrigerators, freezers, AC units, dehumidifiers — require a BOS:311 appointment for special collection. Freon must be removed by a certified technician before the city will accept them. CRT devices (older TVs and monitors) also require a BOS:311 appointment.

Mattresses require separate BOS:311 scheduling for standard residential pickup — placing a mattress at the curb without an appointment may result in a fine. The City of Boston does not collect mattresses from buildings with more than six units at all. Massachusetts banned mattress landfill disposal as of November 1, 2022. The City of Boston lists Marvin Junk Removal on their official Large Residential Buildings mattress recycling page as a private hauler option for residents and landlords.

Construction debris is not collected by the City of Boston under any circumstances — not curbside, not as bulk, not as special collection. The same applies to automotive parts, plumbing fixtures, fences, water heaters, and fire debris. Private haulers only.

We skip the entire process. We come inside your Boston property, carry everything out from wherever it sits, and haul it away the same day. No BOS:311 scheduling, no appointment windows, no dragging anything outside yourself.

Furniture Removal — Starts at $120

Sofas, sectionals, bed frames, dressers, dining sets. We carry out from any floor — Beacon Hill walk-ups, South Boston triple-deckers, Seaport high-rises. No BOS:311 scheduling, no city appointment. Starts at $120.

Appliance Removal — Starts at $120

Refrigerators, washers, dryers, stoves, dishwashers, AC units. Boston requires a BOS:311 appointment for appliances containing Freon, with certified technician removal required before city pickup. We skip it entirely — we haul from inside your property any day. Gas appliances must be disconnected before we arrive. Starts at $120.

Mattress & Box Spring Disposal — Starts at $180

Massachusetts banned mattress landfill disposal in November 2022. Boston requires BOS:311 scheduling for standard residential pickup — and the City does not collect mattresses from buildings with more than six units at all. Marvin Junk Removal is listed on the City of Boston's official Large Residential Buildings mattress recycling page as a private hauler option. We pick up same-day, come inside your home or building, and handle MassDEP-compliant recycling. Starts at $180. Note for landlords: if your building has more than six units, the city will not collect your mattresses under any circumstances — private hauling is required by law.

Boston is not one city — it's 23 distinct neighborhoods, each with different building stock, parking rules, and logistical challenges. We've worked in all of them.

Allston & Brighton — The highest rental turnover rate in Greater Boston. September 1st — "Allston Christmas" — is the single largest moving day in Massachusetts. Thousands of residents move out simultaneously, leaving furniture stacked on sidewalks and landlords racing to clear units before the next tenant arrives. We work through Allston Christmas every year. If you need a slot, call early — we book up fast in the final week of August.

South Boston — Triple-deckers, newer condos, and tight street parking along L Street, East Broadway, and the Old Colony corridor. We navigate South Boston's parking restrictions and building access requirements daily.

Dorchester — Boston's largest neighborhood by area. Dense multifamily housing, long-term homeowners clearing out decades of storage, and constant landlord turnover around Codman Square, Fields Corner, and Savin Hill. Some of the biggest cleanout jobs we've done in Boston have been in Dorchester.

Roxbury & Jamaica Plain — Older Victorian and Colonial housing with full basements, narrow staircases, and cast iron heating systems. JP's frequent estate cleanouts and hoarding situations are work we know well.

Beacon Hill & Back Bay — Historic brownstones with staircases built in the 1800s for smaller furniture. Tight alleys, no loading zones, permit parking everywhere. We bring the right equipment and know how to work within building restrictions.

Charlestown — Dense triple-decker housing close to the Navy Yard and the Sullivan Square corridor. One of our most frequent Boston neighborhoods. See our dedicated Charlestown page for more detail.

East Boston — Dense multifamily housing with high rental turnover and growing condo development near Maverick and Orient Heights. We serve East Boston residents daily.

Fenway & Kenmore — Student and young professional housing with constant September turnover. High-rises, apartment towers, and older walk-ups side by side. We handle both.

Seaport & South End — Newer high-rises and luxury buildings requiring COIs, loading dock coordination, and elevator scheduling. We handle the paperwork. Just call ahead so we can pull your building's requirements.

Bay Village, South End & Chinatown — We're in This Zone Constantly

If you are searching for junk removal near Bay Village, the South End, Chinatown, or Downtown Crossing, we are one of the closest locally owned haulers to this part of the city. We come in off the Mass Pike or surface streets — never Storrow — and we navigate the tight parking and loading situations in this zone every week.

Bay Village: One of Boston's smallest and most densely packed neighborhoods, tucked between the South End and the Theater District. Old brick row houses, narrow streets, and zero truck parking. We have done this before. Text us ahead of time so we can plan the approach.

South End: Victorian brownstones, narrow staircases, and one of the most active real estate markets in Boston. Landlord turnovers, estate cleanouts, renovation debris — all common calls from the South End. We come inside, we carry it down, and we haul it away.

Chinatown & Downtown Crossing: Dense residential buildings, commercial properties, and constant renovation activity in one of Boston's most active commercial corridors. We handle furniture removal, appliance disposal, office cleanouts, and construction debris in this zone.

Leather District & Financial District: Converted loft buildings and commercial spaces that require COIs, loading dock coordination, and elevator scheduling. We provide Certificates of Insurance and handle the logistics. Just call ahead.

Harrison Avenue, Washington Street, and Albany Street corridors: Some of Boston's most active development streets. Post-renovation debris, gut-rehab waste, and contractor cleanups are frequent jobs along this stretch. The City of Boston does not accept construction debris under any circumstances — private hauling is required. We come the same day.

North End & West End — Narrow streets, limited truck access, and dense residential buildings near TD Garden and the waterfront. We've done it dozens of times.

Serving Boston zip codes: 02101, 02108, 02109, 02110, 02111, 02113, 02114, 02115, 02116, 02118, 02119, 02120, 02121, 02122, 02124, 02125, 02126, 02127, 02128, 02129, 02130, 02131, 02132, 02134, 02135, 02136, 02163, 02199, 02203, 02210, 02215

Every September 1st, leases across Allston, Brighton, and much of Boston turn over simultaneously. It is the single largest moving day in Massachusetts — sidewalks fill with furniture, mattresses, and appliances within hours. Landlords have 24–48 hours to clear units before the next tenant arrives.

We work through Allston Christmas every year. We recommend booking 2–3 weeks in advance if you need a guaranteed slot on or around September 1st. If you're a landlord or property manager with multiple units turning over, call us directly — we can coordinate a schedule across buildings.

Call 781-267-5966 to book your September 1st slot.

If you've lived in Boston for more than one September, you know what "getting Storrowed" means. Storrow Drive, Soldiers Field Road, and Memorial Drive are restricted to cars only, with bridge clearances as low as 9 feet in some locations. The height limit on Storrow Drive is 10 feet. Most box trucks and moving trucks start at 11 feet and go up to 13'6" — meaning no standard junk removal truck fits under those bridges. Every year, Massachusetts State Police respond to multiple incidents of trucks wedged under Storrow Drive overpasses — many of them on or around September 1st during Allston Christmas. Getting stuck costs thousands in truck damage, police response, and rental company fees. It makes the local news. It blocks traffic for hours.

We know every alternate route into every Boston neighborhood. We don't use Storrow Drive, Soldiers Field Road, or Memorial Drive with a loaded truck. We come in on Beacon Street, Commonwealth Avenue, the Mass Pike, or through surface streets depending on where you are. Standard GPS apps don't account for truck height — we do. We've been running routes into Boston neighborhoods since 2017 and we've never gotten Storrowed. We're not going to start.

If you're moving out around September 1st and your hauler doesn't know Boston's truck routes, that's your problem before the job even starts. Call us instead — 781-267-5966.
