Moving out.Leave it to us.
The things you will not pack: the couch, the mattress, the desk. Flat price, any floor, and we can often come the day you hand back the keys.
NO SURPRISES.
Move-out junk removal with JUNKRUN costs a flat price you know before we come: a couch is $139, a mattress $89–$129, and a full apartment clear-out is often a ¼ to ½ trailer ($209–$319). Two people carry it out from any floor with no stair fees, and we can often come the same day. Anything left behind can end up as a deduction from your deposit, so it is worth clearing.

The problem, and the fix.
The movers will not take the old couch and the mattress
Movers usually move what you are keeping. We take the rest, so the truck ends up loaded with only what is going to the new place.
You are worried about the security deposit
Furniture left behind can turn into a deduction, since the landlord has to hire someone to remove it. Check your lease, but clearing it yourself is the safe route, and we send a completion photo showing it gone.
The 1st of the month is a scramble
Leases around here turn over on the 1st, and Sept 1 is the big one in Malden, Medford and Lowell. Book early in the week before, since windows fill fast.
You are on the third floor of a walk-up
Triple-deckers are our normal. Two people, no stair fees, and a hallway we will protect.
Flat totals, no clock running.

What the cities say about move-out piles
- Boston asks residents to place their trash and recycling on the curb by 6:00 a.m. on their scheduled collection day, or set it out the night before after 5:00 p.m. It says the Public Works Code Enforcement Division will be issuing citations for the improper storage of household trash during the move-in period.
- Boston's trash guide lists a $25 fine for early set-out, a $25 fine for improper storage, and $100 to $10,000 for illegal dumping.
- Boston's mattress pick-up is free, but you must schedule an appointment for curbside pick-up. The city only picks up mattresses from residents who live in buildings with six units or fewer, and curbside mattress pick-up is limited to 10 items per calendar year.
- Somerville says a $55 Disposal Sticker must be purchased and placed on mattresses and box springs before you schedule your curbside pickup. Only residential households in buildings with 6 or fewer units that get regular city trash collection are eligible, and you may only recycle up to two bulk items, including mattresses or box springs, per week.
- Cambridge says each household is permitted to place one piece of bulky waste for trash collection each week, and a couch, table or chair counts, unless it is made of metal. Its list of items banned from trash disposal in Cambridge includes large appliances and metal items such as filing cabinets and furniture.
