Basement cleanout in Lynn, MA

A cluttered stone-foundation basement with stacked boxes and an old chair by the stairs in a Lynn triple-decker

Shared cellars in Lynn's multi-family houses

In a triple-decker the cellar often holds the boiler, three tenants' storage and years of landlord leftovers. Sort what belongs to you before the crew arrives, and get the landlord's okay for anything you do not own.

Lynn cellars often have steep, narrow stairs and low pipes, and the bulkhead door may be the only way out for long items. The crew measures the exit first, and we cut up what will not fit, such as a particleboard shelf or a bunk bed frame.

Damp, mold and weather in a North Shore basement

Near the coast and in low spots, basements take on water in heavy fall and spring rain. Cardboard, upholstered chairs and area rugs soaked through are heavier and can grow mold, so they get bagged or wrapped on site. Wet carpet is often the heaviest part of the load.

If the water is still coming in, we cannot fix that. A sump pump or a dehumidifier, plus a wet-vac, is the tool for the cause; hauling is the cleanup after.

What goes where in Lynn

Appliances and TVs cannot go in the cart. The DPW at 250 Commercial St takes TVs and monitors ($25) and propane tanks ($5) on weekdays for residents. Old paint, solvents and pesticides go to the hazardous waste Saturday, next on May 15, 2027, at 250 Commercial St, 8 a.m. to noon ($43 to $85); latex paint is not accepted. We cannot take paint, oil or chemicals on the truck, so set them aside.

Furniture, boxes, shelving and metal go with the load.
