Somerville collects up to two bulky items a week with regular trash, free of charge. Mattresses and box springs are separate: since February 2026 they need a city disposal sticker and a pickup scheduled through 311, and city pickup covers buildings with six units or fewer. The DPW sanitation page has the current rules.
Two items a week won't empty an apartment or a basement, and renovation debris isn't part of city pickup at all. That's the gap a crew fills: everything goes in one visit, from any floor.
Where in Somerville do we work?
All of it: Davis Square, Teele Square, Ball Square, Magoun Square, Union Square, Spring Hill, Winter Hill, Ten Hills, East Somerville and Assembly Square. From Malden, Somerville is a short drive through Medford or Everett.
Triple-deckers and back porches
Many Somerville jobs involve carrying furniture down two or three flights of interior stairs, or tearing out a rotted back porch level by level. Tell us the floor and the access when you call, so the crew and the truck are planned for it. Stacked porches share posts and framing, so taking out one level can affect the others; settle the plan with your contractor or the building department before anything comes down.
Older buildings
If a project means taking down an entire building that's 75 years old or more, Somerville requires demolition review by the Historic Preservation Commission before work starts. Interior tear-outs and small structures are a different case; check with the city about permits for your project.
Small landlords
If you own a two- or three-family, we can clear a unit between tenants, empty the shared basement and take the junk that collects in the backyard, all in the same visit, so the apartment is ready to show.
Moving season
Somerville has a large renter population, with Tufts University on its border and many leases ending around September 1. Book move-out cleanouts early if your date is close to the first.
