Move-out junk removal in Quincy, MA

What the city says about move-outs

The Waste page says Capitol Waste is not contracted for move-outs or clean-outs of rooms, apartments, basements or garages and tells residents to contract with a private vendor for these activities. The city collects from one- to eight-family dwellings and condominiums; apartment buildings with more than eight units must privately contract. Bulky is two items a week, so a bed, a couch and a desk do not fit in a week. Checked November 2026.

Tenants, landlords and the Health Department

The Health Department's tenant page says the occupant handles removal of waste and rubbish from the dwelling unit on a regular basis to a place the owner designates, such as a dumpster or covered receptacles, and that an accumulation of rubbish and debris in a unit may likely result in a citation against the occupant. For a landlord, the practical answer is a same-week clearance before the next tenant: photos of each unit, one number, one trailer for several units.

Prices for a typical move-out

A studio or one-bedroom is usually a quarter to a half trailer: $209 to $319. A full apartment with a bedroom set, sofa and desk is a half to three-quarter trailer: $319 to $409. By item: sofa $139, mattress $89 to $129, bookcase $79, with a $159 minimum. We carry down the stairs, so say how many floors and if there is a freight elevator. In Marina Bay and Quincy Center buildings, ask the management about move times and elevator reservations first.

Condo and apartment buildings with more than eight units

Those buildings are on private service; the city's page calls it illegal for them to use the curbside system. Do not leave a mattress by the dumpster; Massachusetts bans mattresses from disposal. We carry out from the unit and take the mattress to a licensed recycler.

Move-out checklist for Quincy

  • Photograph every room, the closets and the storage cage.
  • Tell us the floor, elevator and where the truck can park.
  • Book the elevator and loading dock with the building.
  • Pull anything you want to donate; Goodwill is at 625 Southern Artery.
  • Send mattresses with us; they cannot go in a dumpster.
  • Keep the unit empty and unlocked at the time we arrive.
