Move-out junk removal in Wellesley, MA

Why the RDF is hard on a move-out

Permits are for Wellesley residents with a vehicle registered to their primary residence. A rental truck, a mover's van or a friend's pickup does not match, and a waiver permit is how a non-resident helping a resident is covered. Anyone hauling for others needs a Board of Health permit.

It also closes at noon Monday to Wednesday and on Sundays from December to March. A lease that ends on the 31st or a closing on a Monday afternoon does not fit those hours.

Landlords, renters and the colleges

Wellesley College, founded in 1875, and Babson College both sit in town. The no-fee rule covers waste from the one residence where the driver lives, so a landlord clearing a unit is not covered. Renters who do qualify still need a sticker for the vehicle they drive.

We take furniture, mattresses, boxes and appliances from the apartment or house, including third-floor walk-ups and narrow village streets in Lower Falls and Wellesley Square. Tell us about stairs and parking when you text.

Donate first, haul the rest

Big Brother Big Sister Foundation does free curbside pickup of clothing, books, dishware and small goods, with bagged, labeled donations left at the curb by 7 a.m. It takes no furniture. New Life Furniture Bank takes clean couches, dressers and tables, with a paid pickup in Wellesley and a 2 to 4 week lead time, so book it before the move-out date.

For the rest: a sofa is $139, a mattress $89 to $129, a dresser $99, a refrigerator $119. A queen mattress and a sofa together are $248.

Wellesley move-out checklist

  • Book New Life Furniture Bank pickup 2 to 4 weeks before move-out for clean couches.
  • Bag clothing and small goods, label them, and book the free Big Brother Big Sister pickup.
  • Check your lease for the date the keys are due.
  • Set aside paint, fuel and chemicals: we cannot take them.
  • Text JUNKRUN photos of what is left and book the day you hand over the keys.
