We Know Cambridge — Every Neighborhood, Every Building Type

Cambridge isn't one neighborhood — it's thirteen, and each one is different. Harvard Square has Victorian walk-ups and century-old rowhouses with staircases built for smaller furniture. Central Square has triple-deckers stacked wall to wall with no parking and no room to maneuver a truck. Kendall Square has biotech labs and commercial spaces that the city's residential pickup won't touch. East Cambridge has dense multifamily housing where the back alley is the only access. Wellington-Harrington, Inman Square, Cambridgeport, North Cambridge, The Port, Agassiz, MIT area — we've done jobs in 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 don't need a walkthrough to give you a price.

Cambridge Appliance Pickup — Why the City Process Is a Hassle

Cambridge charges $25 per appliance for curbside pickup — and that fee doesn't include any labor. You're still responsible for getting the appliance outside yourself and placing it at the curb 24 hours before your collection day. All commercial properties in Cambridge are excluded from city pickup entirely and must hire private haulers. We skip the entire process. We come inside, pick up the appliance from wherever it sits, haul it out, and recycle it properly. No permit scheduling. No moving anything yourself. No waiting 24 hours.

Cambridge Bulk Trash — What the City Won't Take

Cambridge picks up bulk items on your scheduled trash day with a $25 permit fee per appliance or electronic item — and you must place items at the curb 24 hours before collection. The city does not pick up construction debris, hazardous materials, or items from commercial properties. If your item doesn't qualify, the fee isn't worth it, or you simply don't want to drag it outside yourself — call us. We'll take it the same day.
