Melrose provides curbside collection for properties with six units or fewer. For bulk items, appliances, mattresses, electronics, and construction debris, the rules are more involved than most residents expect.

Bulk items (furniture, large household goods): Must be scheduled and paid for in advance through the city's waste program. Items cannot simply be placed at the curb without prior arrangement.

Appliances: Stoves, washers, dryers, and refrigerators are collected on Tuesdays only — after advance payment with proof attached to the item. Appliance doors (refrigerators, freezers, microwaves) must be removed before curbside placement. Appliances and metal goods cannot be picked up curbside from condominiums or apartment buildings with 6 or more units — private hauling is required.

Mattresses: Banned from Massachusetts landfills as of November 1, 2022. Melrose residents must use an authorized mattress recycler. Mattress drop-off at the City Yard is available Saturdays only with weekday pre-payment required.

Electronics: Can be dropped off at the City Yard during limited open hours for a fee, with some items requiring pre-payment before drop-off.

Construction debris: Cannot go in trash or recycling under any circumstances. Concrete, shingles, wood, plaster, drywall, and gravel are all explicitly prohibited from Melrose curbside and recycling bins. Private haulers only.

We skip the entire process. We come inside your Melrose property, carry everything out from wherever it sits, and haul it away the same day. No scheduling, no Tuesday wait, no door removal, no City Yard trip.

Melrose covers 4.8 square miles and has some of the most distinctive residential character on the North Shore — a city that built most of its housing stock between 1880 and 1930 and has maintained it ever since. That age is what drives most of the junk removal work we do here.

Melrose Highlands is the city's western residential hill — large Victorians and Colonials on wide lots with full cellars and attic storage. The Highlands MBTA commuter rail stop serves this neighborhood. Homes here haven't had basement cleanouts in decades — we've cleared them in an afternoon.

Wyoming Hill sits north of the Highlands and shares the same building character — older single-family homes with tight driveways, original heating systems, and storage rooms that predate the modern concept of organized storage. This is estate cleanout territory.

Ell Pond and the downtown Melrose corridor along Main Street and West Foster Street runs through the center of the city. Mixed residential and commercial, with older two-families and apartment buildings alongside newer condos near the downtown MBTA stop.

East Melrose borders Lynn and Saugus — more working-class multifamily housing, denser street layout, and consistent landlord turnover. We serve East Melrose landlords and property managers regularly.

The Wyoming area along Wyoming Avenue is one of Melrose's most residential stretches — quiet streets, larger single-family homes, and homeowners who have been in the same house for 30 or 40 years. Estate cleanouts from this part of Melrose are some of the most involved jobs we handle.

Melrose also borders Malden, Medford, Stoneham, Wakefield, Saugus, and Lynn — we serve all of them.
