Move-out junk removal in Dedham, MA

What the town will not do on move-out day

Each Dedham household gets one trash cart and one recycling cart, both 96-gallon. Excess trash goes in $2 yellow overflow bags. Bulky items and white goods are by appointment with Boston Carting at 800-338-3867, at $35.50 and $41.42 each, and a mattress is $95.00. A moving week produces more of all three than a household normally does, and the appointment calendar does not move with your lease date.

Holiday weeks shift collection one day later. In the fall that means Veterans Day (November 11), Thanksgiving (November 26) and Christmas.

Renters, landlords and condos

Dedham has a lot of rental housing in two- and three-family houses in East Dedham and around Dedham Square, and in apartment buildings along Bridge Street and Providence Highway. Whoever is responsible for what is left, tenant or landlord, has to call Boston Carting for each piece or hire a hauler. Condo and apartment buildings set their own rules for dumpsters and loading docks, so ask your property manager before bulk items go anywhere near the building's bins.

For a landlord turning a unit between tenants, one flat-price visit that clears furniture, mattress, boxes and a fridge means the unit is ready for cleaning and showings. Text photos from the doorway of each room.

The price math

A one-bedroom with a couch ($139), a queen mattress ($109), a box spring ($79), a dresser ($99) and a few boxes ($11 each) is billed piece by piece, and a half trailer is $319 when it is cheaper. A full apartment is a half or full trailer, $319 to $519. The minimum visit is $159. Compare that with four separate town appointments and the extra days between them.

Donate, then discard

Clothing, shoes and household goods go free to CMRK/Big Brother Big Sister, either curbside (508-466-4590, bagged and labeled) or at the blue bins at the Avery, Greenlodge, Oakdale and Riverdale schools, the ECEC and the Middle School. Furniture and mattresses are not accepted. Working furniture can go to Habitat's ReStore in West Roxbury and small furniture to Savers in Norwood. What is left is ours.
