Junk removal in West Roxbury, Boston
NO SURPRISES.
Two big drop-offs inside the neighborhood
The Habitat for Humanity ReStore, 1580 VFW Parkway, accepts donations Tuesday to Saturday, 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., and staff help unload. It takes furniture, appliances under eight years old, cabinets, doors, tile and lighting in working order; it refuses mattresses, box springs, futons, clothing and paint. Pickup is booked through ReSupply.
Boston's Zero Waste Day is at 315 Gardner Street. The next one is Saturday, Nov 21, 2026, 8:30 a.m. to noon, for Boston residents with ID and a bill or lease.
Garages, basements and capes
Single-family Colonials, Capes and Garrison houses mean driveways, attached garages and full basements, so the truck usually can park at the house. Typical jobs: a garage full of stored furniture, a basement with an old washer, and an attic cleared before a sale. A half trailer is $319, three-quarters $409 and a full $519.
Buildings with six units or fewer are eligible for the city's mattress pickup, by appointment.
Combining trips
Because the ReStore and the Zero Waste Day site are both in West Roxbury, one Saturday trip can cover a furniture donation and hazardous waste. The ReStore also keeps weekday hours, but Zero Waste Day is a single morning.
Yard waste follows the city's fall calendar through Nov 30 to Dec 4: paper bags or open barrels marked YARD WASTE with a City sticker. Larger trees and brush that exceed the 3-foot, 1-inch limit are a load job.
