Basement Cleanout in Malden, MA
What fills Malden basements
Malden's older two- and three-families often share a basement for laundry, storage and heating. Over time it collects a washer, shelving, paint cans, a space heater and boxes soaked by the damp. Half a trailer is $319 and a full one $519. We carry up the basement stairs and out the side door to the truck, so you do not have to move anything yourself. Tell us about the stairs, any low pipes and whether the washer still has water in it. A few photos sent when you book let us quote the load before we arrive.
Hazardous and oversized items
Paint, motor oil and car batteries are handled on the DPW Yard's hazardous waste days, for cash fees; the last posted 2026 day was October 10 and no later date appears, so call 781-397-7160. Latex paint is not accepted there. A refrigerator or washer is a separate item with us: a standard appliance is $119 and a large one $149, with refrigerant recovery included. Old TVs with tubes are $25 each at the DPW event. Anything that smells of mold or has been wet for years should be bagged where possible.
