Estate cleanout in Braintree, MA

Where the town limits run out

A full house needs more than the weekly rules allow. Two bulk items a week means a bedroom set, a dining set and two sofas would take weeks of booking. Mattresses and box springs, TVs and monitors, textiles and construction items cannot go curbside. The Recycle Center on Ivory Street takes up to three 39-gallon bags on Friday and Saturday only and needs a resident sticker, which an out-of-town executor does not have.

For houses being sold, a hauler that clears everything in one visit is usually the way to meet a closing date. Trailer prices: ${p:quarter} for a quarter, ${p:half} for a half, ${p:threeq} for three quarters and ${p:full} for a full trailer.

What to keep, donate, scrap and haul

Sort in four piles. Keep papers, photos, jewelry and anything with a family name on it. Donate clean household goods, and the town lists Goodwill and Big Brother Big Sister, which does pickups. Scrap metal can go to McConnell Enterprises, 60 Garden Park. Textiles are banned from the trash, but textiles are accepted for recycling at the Recycle Center on its open days.

Everything else is the haul pile: worn furniture, mattresses, broken appliances, TVs, boxes and bags. Hazardous waste like paint and solvents is set aside for an event; see Braintree hazardous waste day.

How we handle a Braintree estate job

Text photos of each floor, the basement and the garage. We send one flat price for the job, confirm a date that fits your closing or listing, and the crew carries everything out from inside, including the attic and the basement. We do not make you move things to the curb. A half trailer is $319, a full trailer $519, and several rooms can need more than one load.

If the family wants to be there to pick things out, tell us and we start in the rooms they have finished. Mattresses are recycled and appliances have the freon recovered.
