Junk removal in Roslindale, Boston
NO SURPRISES.
Two-families, capes and trees
Near Roslindale Square and Washington Street the homes are triple-deckers and two-families; toward the Arboretum side there are single-family houses on larger lots. That means two kinds of jobs: third-floor walk-downs near the Village, and basement or garage cleanouts in the single-family blocks. We carry from any floor and add no stair fee.
A half trailer is $319, and a full trailer $519 for a bigger garage or attic.
Where Roslindale residents donate
No donation center sits inside Roslindale. The nearest are Goodwill Jamaica Plain at 678 Centre Street (Mon-Sat 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Sun 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.) and Goodwill Hyde Park at 892 River Street (Mon-Sat 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Sun noon to 5 p.m.), plus the ReStore at 1580 VFW Parkway in West Roxbury. The ReStore takes furniture and appliances under eight years old, but sends clothing, mattresses and futons elsewhere.
Call each place before driving, since they can refuse items.
Leaves, branches and city timing
Boston's curbside yard-waste weeks run through Nov 30 to Dec 4 this year, on your trash day, in paper bags or open barrels labeled YARD WASTE with a City sticker; plastic bags and dirt are not collected. Branches must be no more than 3 feet long and 1 inch thick, tied with string. Spread bags across the remaining weeks rather than setting out everything at once.
Christmas trees go out on trash day during the two weeks after Christmas (Dec 28 to Jan 8), with no lights, ornaments or plastic bag. For loads the city won't take, send us a text.
