In Melrose, bulky items like furniture, carpets, rugs and wooden doors go through a program run by the city's hauler, Casella, which you schedule and pay for by phone or through the Recycle 101 app. Metal items and appliances are a separate curbside pickup arranged and paid through the Department of Public Works. The city's curbside collection guide has the current list and fees. The City Yard also takes drop-offs of electronics, yard waste and recycling on set days, which is handy for a few bags or a single TV.
Scheduling and paying piece by piece works for a recliner. For an attic, a basement and a garage in the same house, one crew visit with one price is simpler, and nothing waits at the curb.
Where in Melrose do we work?
Every part of the city: Melrose Highlands, Wyoming Hill, the East Side, the neighborhoods along Main Street and downtown, and the streets near the Middlesex Fells and Ell Pond. Melrose borders Malden, so we're a short drive away.
Older homes, full attics
Melrose's older houses tend to have stairs that narrow toward the top, attics reached through a pull-down ladder and basements with low ceilings. Tell us about the access when you call, so the crew knows what to bring and how long to plan for.
Estate and pre-sale cleanouts
When a family home is being sold or settled, the job is usually the whole house at once. We clear furniture, attic, basement, garage and yard junk, so the house is ready for the realtor, the contractor or the next owner. If family members want to go through things first, set aside what stays and we take the rest.
Big trees near the house
Many Melrose streets are lined with mature trees, and older backyard trees often grow close to roofs and detached garages. After storms, limbs on roofs, fences and driveways are a common problem. Trees along the street belong to the city, so call the city about those.

Junk Removal Melrose FAQ
Is junk removal free?
Not in Melrose: bulky items are scheduled and paid through the city's hauler, and metal items through the DPW. A private crew also charges, but takes everything in one visit for one price.
Who picks up junk near me?
In Melrose, WA picks up furniture, attic, basement and garage cleanouts, estate cleanouts, yard junk and renovation debris. Call (781) 957-5327 any hour Monday through Saturday.
Will junk removal disassemble furniture?
Yes, when it has to come apart to get down narrow attic or basement stairs. Mention beds, wardrobes or built-ins when you ask for your estimate.

Yes. Branches, brush and bagged leaves can go with the rest of the load. For beds, leaves and a full cleanup, our yard cleanup service covers the whole property.
