Junk Removal in Cambridge, MA — Same-Day Service

Cambridge moves fast. Leases end, labs close, buildings turn over, and nobody has time to figure out what the city will and won't pick up. We're based in Somerville — one mile from Cambridge — and we've been hauling out of Harvard Square walk-ups, East Cambridge triple-deckers, and Kendall Square commercial spaces since 2017. Same-day service. We go inside. Upfront pricing. No hidden fees.

Furniture Removal

Sofas, sectionals, bed frames, dressers, dining sets, recliners. We carry everything out from any floor — no elevator required. Walk-ups, triple-deckers, high-rises. Tight Victorian staircases in Harvard Square or a fifth-floor Cambridgeport walk-up — we've done it. Starts at $120.

Appliance Removal

Refrigerators, stoves, washers, dryers, dishwashers, AC units, freezers. Cambridge charges $25 per appliance for curbside pickup — and that fee doesn't include any labor. You're still responsible for moving the appliance outside yourself and placing it at the curb 24 hours before your collection day. Refrigerators require the doors to be removed before curbside placement — a city safety ordinance. All commercial properties are excluded from the city program entirely.

We skip all of it. We come inside, lift the appliance from wherever it sits — basement, second floor, back kitchen — haul it out, and recycle it properly. No permit scheduling. No heavy lifting on your end. No waiting. Starts at $120.

Mattress Disposal

Cambridge offers free mattress recycling through UTEC, but it comes with a 1–2 week wait and you must have the mattress at the curb by 7:00 AM on your scheduled day. They will not come inside. During September 1st move-out season, UTEC books up weeks in advance. We don't.

Massachusetts banned mattress landfill disposal in November 2022. We recycle every mattress and box spring through MassDEP-certified processors — so you stay compliant whether you're a tenant, landlord, or property manager. Same-day inside pickup. No scheduling. No heavy lifting. Starts at $180.

Cambridge isn't one neighborhood — it's thirteen, and each one is different. We've done jobs in all of them.

Harvard Square has Victorian walk-ups and century-old rowhouses with staircases built for smaller furniture. Getting a sectional out of a third-floor apartment on Brattle Street requires patience, the right equipment, and someone who's done it before.

Central Square has triple-deckers stacked wall to wall with no parking and no room to maneuver. We know which streets have loading restrictions and which alleys are the only access point.

Kendall Square is biotech and tech — commercial spaces, high-rise buildings, and loading dock coordination. The city's residential routes don't touch it. We do. We understand COI requirements for Cambridge commercial properties and can work around your operations schedule.

East Cambridge has dense multifamily housing where back-alley access is the norm. We come prepared with the right equipment and the right crew size for the job.

Inman Square and Wellington-Harrington — narrow one-ways and zero street parking make dumpsters nearly impossible. We act as your mobile dumpster: we load and go.

Cambridgeport, North Cambridge, The Port, Agassiz, MIT area, Strawberry Hill, Cambridge Highlands — we run routes through all of them. We know which streets have permit parking restrictions, which buildings have loading docks, and which basements haven't been cleared since 1987.

We serve all Cambridge zip codes: 02138, 02139, 02140, 02141, 02142.

Also serving: Somerville | Medford | Arlington | Belmont | Watertown | Everett | Charlestown | Boston

If you're on the western side of Cambridge — near Fresh Pond Parkway, Huron Ave, Mount Auburn Street, or Aberdeen Ave — we're running jobs in your area regularly. This pocket of Cambridge sits between Fresh Pond, the Mount Auburn Cemetery, and the Watertown line, and it's one of the quieter residential corners of the city. Older homes, established neighborhoods, and basements that haven't been touched in decades.
We serve every street in this area: Huron Ave, Fresh Pond Pkwy, Brattle St, Mt Auburn St, Aberdeen Ave, Reservoir St, Larchwood Ave, Fayerweather St, Coolidge Ave, Gerry's Landing Rd, and the streets running through Strawberry Hill and Cambridge Highlands. If you're near the Fresh Pond Golf Course, the Freepoint Hotel, or anywhere along the Alewife Brook Pkwy corridor, we're typically 15–20 minutes away.

Old furniture that's been in the basement since the previous owner. Appliances in kitchens that haven't been updated since the 1980s. Cast iron radiators from homes that just converted to forced air. Garage cleanouts on properties that have accumulated 20+ years of stored items. Estate cleanouts for families handling inherited homes in this neighborhood. Construction debris from kitchen and bathroom renovations in the older Colonial and Victorian homes common to this part of Cambridge.

Cambridge charges $25 per appliance for curbside pickup — and that fee doesn't include any labor.

Kendall Square moves at the speed of innovation. Whether you are a biotech lab clearing out non-hazardous equipment for a retrofit or a tech startup pivoting to a new office space, we provide discreet, professional commercial hauling. We handle office furniture liquidations, e-waste, and loading dock coordination for high-rise buildings. We understand the COI (Certificate of Insurance) requirements for Cambridge commercial properties and can get in and out without disrupting your operations.

With over 22,000 students in Cambridge, the move-out windows in May and August are pure chaos. We are based just one mile from the MIT campus and run constant routes through Cambridgeport, Mid-Cambridge, and North Cambridge during these peaks.

Spring Move-Out (May 2026): MIT undergraduates must vacate by May 21, 2026, and graduating seniors by May 30, 2026. Harvard follows a similar high-pressure timeline.

The September 1st Lease Cliff: This is the "Allston Christmas" of Cambridge. When leases end on Mass Ave, Prospect Street, and Hampshire Street, the sidewalks overflow. If your sofa or desk won't fit in the U-Haul on August 31st, the city's weekly schedule can't help you.

Direct for Landlords: If a tenant leaves a unit full of trash and furniture, your cleaning crew can't start until the junk is gone. Call Marvin directly at 781-267-5966 for emergency turnovers. We’ll get the unit "broom-clean" so you don't miss a day of rent.

No hidden fees. No on-site surprises. You get an exact price before we start.
