Basementcleanouts
Up the stairs, out the door. Narrow cellar stairs, bulkhead doors and low ceilings are the normal job for us. We carry up everything (old couches, treadmills, water-damaged boxes, dehumidifiers, broken appliances) and leave the floor swept. Priced by how much of the trailer it fills.
NO SURPRISES.
We serve Boston and 69 towns north, west and south, including Plymouth and Cape Cod. Outside that area we can't take the job.

What a basement cleanout costs
Basements are priced by how much of the trailer they fill, not by the hour. Prices are the same in every town and include the crew, carry-out up the stairs, loading, hauling and disposal. The minimum pickup is $159.
| How much is down there | Trailer share | Flat price |
|---|---|---|
| A corner: a few boxes, a couch, a dehumidifier | ¼ trailer | $209 |
| Half a finished basement: furniture, shelves, boxes | ½ trailer | $319 |
| Most of the basement | ¾ trailer | $409 |
| Wall to wall, floor to ceiling | Full trailer | $519 |
How a basement cleanout works
- Text a photo or short video from the bottom of the stairs. Show the whole room and any narrow turns or a bulkhead.
- We text back one flat price and a 2-hour arrival window. Same-day windows are offered when the schedule allows.
- Two people carry everything up and out, load the trailer and sweep the floor. You do not need to move anything first.
- We send a completion photo. You pay by card, Zelle or Venmo after that.
What we take from a basement
- Old couches, chairs, tables and shelving
- Boxes, bags and loose clutter
- Treadmills and exercise equipment
- Water heaters and appliances, including washers, dryers and freezers
- Dehumidifiers, fans and broken electronics
- Carpet, flooring and water-damaged household items
- Leftover lumber, drywall and tile from a past project
What we do not take
Paint, solvents, pool chemicals, propane tanks, asbestos and wet garbage. Most towns have a household hazardous waste day for those. We also do not do mold remediation or anything that needs abatement. If you are not sure about an item, put it in the photo and ask.
Cellars, bulkheads and tight stairs
Narrow cellar stairs, low ceilings and bulkhead doors are ordinary work for us. There is no extra charge for stairs or for the floor it is on. If a piece will not fit up the stairs, we take it apart where it sits.
Basement leftovers that need separate handling
Basements are where old cleaners, pesticides, paint and batteries end up. EPA says to keep them in their original containers and never remove labels, and that they can present hazards to children and pets if left around the house. Leftover products can react if mixed (never mix HHW with other products), so leave them as they are for the town collection.
Massachusetts also bans ferrous and non-ferrous metals and asphalt pavement, brick and concrete from disposal, so an old water heater, steel shelving or a broken-up bulkhead step needs its own route. Tell us what is down there when you text photos and we confirm what goes on the trailer.
