Move-out junk removal in Woburn, MA
Why move-outs in Woburn are tight
Many Woburn rentals turn over on July 1 and September 1, and Waste Management collects permitted bulk items curbside for a fee, scheduled per item with no promise of a fast date. Each couch or dresser is $29.77, appliances $39 or $50 with freon, and TVs $66. Overflow trash bags are $10 per roll of 5, and extra carts are leased yearly.
If the lease ends Sunday and the next pickup is Thursday, the pile stays in the hallway. That is when a flat-price crew helps, because we choose the day.
Condo and multi-family access
Downtown Woburn has condos and multi-families with shared entries and stairs. Tell us if there is an elevator, a loading zone or a landlord rule about move times, and whether the property manager needs notice before a crew arrives.
Pricing is by load: ¼ trailer $209, ½ $319, ¾ $409, full $519. A one-bedroom of furniture, a mattress and boxes is often a ½ trailer; a three-bedroom house is typically ¾ to a full load. Single items are by price list, with a $159 minimum.
What to sort before we arrive
Take out anything for a security deposit walk-through, valuables and documents. Mark what stays with the apartment. Paint and chemicals are not accepted; the city holds a Hazardous Waste Drive in early August (Board of Health 781-897-5920).
Woburn does not list a resident drop-off yard, so loads leaving the building go to us or the curb. If you need a dumpster on the street, ask City Hall (781-897-5800); the street permit rule was not found on the city site. Leave keys, remotes and anything that belongs to the landlord on the counter so nothing is hauled by mistake.
