Estate Cleanout in Everett, MA

Sorting a full Everett home
Older Everett homes tend to be small, with many rooms and long staircases, and they hold decades of belongings. Start with the paperwork, jewelry and photos, then set aside what family wants, then what can be donated. Goodwill's Somerville store takes clothing, linens and small appliances, but not furniture over 50 pounds. Habitat's ReStore takes working furniture and appliances under eight years old, and not mattresses. Donation sites turn away worn or stained pieces, so be realistic about what is left. The rest is a hauling job: a half trailer is $319, three-quarters $409, full $519, priced before work starts.
Practical points for Everett properties
If you are the executor on a three-decker, plan for stairs and for the city rules on the way out. Mattresses cost $70 at City Hall or $89 to $129 with JunkRun; refrigerators and stoves are $15 city white goods stickers or $119 to $149 with us. Heavy rolling trash dumpsters are hard on narrow streets, so the crew loads from the door. Hazardous items, such as old oil-based paint, go to the city's Hazardous Waste Day, which required proof of Everett residency in 2025. We can work around an open house schedule or a realtor's deadline if you tell us the date when booking.
