Mattress Removal

View →
$99first item · +$30 each more

Boston mattresses require scheduling through BOS:311 — one of your precious 10 annual items. Allston and Brighton see massive mattress pileups every September 1st ("Allston Christmas"). Same-day pickup from Back Bay brownstones to Dorchester triple-deckers — no 311 appointment needed.

Couch Removal

View →
$99first item · +$28 each more

Sectionals from South End row houses, recliners from Jamaica Plain Victorians, sleeper sofas from Beacon Hill walk-ups. Boston's narrow streets and tight staircases make couch disposal brutal — get it to the curb and we handle the rest same-day.

Furniture Removal

View →
$79first item · +$29 each more

Furniture removal in Boston, MA starts at $79 with Dropcurb, with additional furniture removal items typically +$19 to +$29 depending on size. In Boston, furniture turnover spikes around September 1 move-outs in Allston, Brighton, Fenway, and South Boston, when leases reset and landlords need units cleared fast. Boston Public Works allows most furniture at regular curbside collection, but mattresses still require special scheduling and many residents in dense neighborhoods can't wait through city timing limits when they're facing a same-week move, renovation deadline, or condo turnover. Dropcurb makes furniture removal in Boston simpler: book online in about 60 seconds, set items curbside, and get same-day pickup without in-home estimate windows. We also route usable pieces toward donation channels when possible and send non-donatable materials to licensed disposal or recycling partners. Competitors like traditional full-service junk crews often start around $150+ in Boston, while LoadUp listings show furniture removal starting around $80 before extra item fees. If you need furniture removal in Boston today, Dropcurb gives upfront pricing and fast curbside execution.

Appliance Recycling

View →
$134first item · +$84 each more

Appliance removal in Boston, MA starts at $104 with Dropcurb, all-in, and you can book online in about 60 seconds. In Boston, appliance removal demand spikes during apartment turnover in neighborhoods like Allston, Brighton, and South Boston, where old washers, fridges, and stoves often need to be cleared fast before move-in windows close. Boston's BOS:311 Special Collection is useful but capped at 10 items per calendar year and 5 items per appointment, and Boston won't collect fridges or freezers if doors are attached or food is still inside. That municipal rule creates a real gap for residents who need appliance removal in Boston without extra prep work or another 311 slot. Dropcurb solves that by offering same-day curbside appliance removal in Boston: disconnect the unit, place it curbside, and we route it to licensed recycling partners for proper handling of refrigerants and metals. Competitor pages also show higher or variable pricing — Marvin Junk Removal advertises appliance removal in Boston starting at $120, while 1-800-GOT-JUNK commonly lands in a much higher $150–$600+ range with in-person estimates. With Dropcurb, pricing is posted upfront, starting at $104 for your first appliance and +$54 for each additional unit.

TV Removal

View →
$99first item · +$39 each more

TV removal in Boston starts at $99 with Dropcurb, including certified e-waste handling, and you can book online in about 60 seconds. In Boston, TV removal demand spikes during lease turnovers in Allston, Brighton, Fenway, and South Boston, where students and renters replace older screens fast and need same-day pickup before move-out deadlines. Boston's BOS:311 Special Collection can take televisions, but every pickup counts toward the city's 10-item annual cap and 5-item appointment limit, so one apartment cleanout can burn through your free allocation. Massachusetts rules also treat TVs and CRT devices as banned from regular trash, which means residents need a compliant recycling path, not curbside gamble disposal. Dropcurb solves that gap with curbside TV removal in Boston: set the TV out, book by noon for same-day service in most neighborhoods, and we route units to approved recycling partners. Competitor pages often rely on variable quotes or in-home pickups — LoadUp advertises Boston TV disposal starting at $82, while full-service haulers like 1-800-GOT-JUNK typically quote after an on-site visit. Dropcurb keeps pricing upfront at $99 for your first TV and +$39 for each additional set.

Construction Debris Removal

View →
$109first item · +$59 each more

Construction debris removal in Boston, MA starts at $109 with Dropcurb for bagged or bundled curbside loads, and additional construction debris pickup is +$59 per added debris unit. Boston residents run into a hard municipal gap here: Boston Public Works explicitly says the City does not collect construction debris at curbside, even for large residential buildings, so DIY renovation waste usually means arranging a private hauler or driving it out yourself. Massachusetts also enforces C&D waste-ban rules under 310 CMR 19.017, which means construction debris has to go through proper disposal or recycling channels instead of regular trash. Dropcurb simplifies construction debris cleanup in Boston by keeping the flow curbside-first: bag loose debris, stack it at the curb, book online in about 60 seconds, and get same-day or next-day pickup across neighborhoods like Dorchester, South Boston, and Jamaica Plain. Competitor pages show either variable pricing or higher starts — LoadUp advertises construction debris removal in Boston starting at $89 and Handoff estimates often land around $100.40-$191.60 per cubic yard — while Dropcurb gives upfront construction debris pricing before checkout.

E-Waste Disposal

View →
$99first item · +$39 each more

TVs, monitors, computers — BOS:311 Special Collection handles these but counts against your 10-item annual limit. Dropcurb picks up e-waste from Allston student apartments to Brighton family homes without burning your city allotment.

Exercise Equipment Removal

View →
$159first item · +$85 each more

Treadmills and ellipticals from Back Bay basement gyms and South End condos. Boston's compact living spaces make storing dead equipment miserable — same-day pickup, no BOS:311 scheduling required.

Bulk Junk Removal

View →
$79first item · +$29 each more

September 1st "Allston Christmas" move-outs, Beacon Hill renovation cleanouts, Dorchester estate clearing. BOS:311's 5-items-per-appointment cap can't handle real cleanout jobs. Dropcurb clears everything in one trip — priced upfront.

Boston's bulk pickup has limits — we don't

Boston's Special Collection Items is free via BOS:311 but limited to 10 items per calendar year and 5 items per appointment. The city won't collect fridges/freezers with doors attached or food inside.
