Junk removal in South Boston, Boston
NO SURPRISES.
Goodwill on West Broadway
Goodwill, 470 West Broadway, accepts donations Monday to Saturday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday noon to 6 p.m. (617-307-6367). It's the neighborhood's easiest drop-off for clothing, housewares and small furniture; call first about large pieces. Beyond Goodwill, the closest reuse options are Boston Building Resources in Roxbury and the ReStore in West Roxbury.
Mattresses and box springs need the city's booking or a private pickup; neither Goodwill nor the ReStore lists them.
Many South Boston streets are narrow, and parking is tight. A moving truck on a city-owned street can be reserved through the City's moving-truck permit; a resident permit does not reserve space, and neither overrides snow emergency rules or tow zones.
Text us the cross street and any driveway. Newer condo buildings near the Seaport often have a loading dock to book instead.
Triple-deckers versus waterfront condos
South Boston triple-deckers have stairs to carry from, and we add no fee for them. The city's mattress pickup covers buildings with six units or fewer, so most triple-deckers qualify; condo and apartment buildings with more units use a manager or private hauler.
Flat prices for common pieces: a sofa $139, a regular table $79, a dresser $99, a window air conditioner $79 with freon recovery. A quarter trailer is $209.
Planning a South Boston pickup around parking
- Pick a corner
Choose the cross street where a truck can stop briefly.
- Check your building
Six units or fewer: the city booking applies. Larger: a manager books a hauler.
- Reserve if needed
A moving-truck permit holds city curb space; it doesn't override tow zones.
- Stage the pieces
Bring heavy items down to the entry first.
- Text photos
We give a flat price and an arrival window.
