1. Request a Quote
Start online or call us. Tell us what needs to go, where it is in the building, and the pickup date you’d like. Third-floor walk-up? Just say so; it helps us send the right crew.
2. Get Your Free Estimate
We review your items and give you a clear, upfront price before anyone lifts a thing. No hidden fees and no obligation to book.
3. We Move Your Junk
Once you approve the price, our crew handles the lifting, the stairs, the loading, and the hauling. When same-visit removal is available, we start right away and sweep up the pickup area before we leave.
What Do You Need Moved Out of Your Boston Home or Office?
From a single sectional to an entire rental turnover, Poseidon Moving makes junk removal in Boston simple. Whether you’re moving, decluttering, or clearing out a property between tenants, we handle the lifting and the hauling.

Simple, All-Inclusive Junk Removal Pricing in Boston
Your price depends on what you’re getting rid of.
Every Boston junk removal job is different, so we look at how much space your items take up in the truck, the type of items, and the work involved, including stairs, distance to the truck, and parking on your street. You’ll see the price before anything moves.
Have several items to remove? We price by load size.
For multiple-item pickups, pricing is primarily based on how much space your unwanted items occupy in a 26 ft box truck, plus accessibility, labor, and any disposal requirements.
Pick a load size to see how much of a 26 ft box truck it takes.
Small Load
Examples
- A couch and a couple of chairs
- A single-room clear-out
Medium Load
Examples
- A bedroom set plus a mattress
- A small apartment turnover
Large Load
Examples
- Multi-room furniture removal
- A full basement
- An estate cleanout
These are general examples. Actual pricing and load sizes depend on the items and vehicle capacity.
Just one piece?
Single-item pricing covers the pickup, the carry, and the disposal for that item.
Common single-item pickups include:
Couches and sofas
Mattresses and box springs
Dressers and cabinets
Tables and desks
Washing machines and dryers
Other approved furniture and appliances
Single-item pricing depends on the item’s size, weight, location, and removal requirements. Minimum pickup charges may apply.
What’s Included in Your Quote?
Labor and heavy lifting, stairs included
Loading of approved items
Transportation and hauling
Standard disposal or recycling charges, as applicable
Any additional service requirements or charges are identified before your booking is confirmed.
Leave the Heavy Lifting (and the Stairs) to Us
Getting a sleeper sofa out of a third-floor Dorchester walk-up is not a one-person job, and it’s not a job for your car. With Poseidon Moving, there’s no figuring out how to angle a dresser down a turning staircase or where to take a mattress once it’s out. Our experienced crews remove approved items from accessible locations in your home or business, carry them down, load them, and haul them away.
You decide what goes. We handle the moving.
What We Don’t Take
Our Boston junk removal service covers standard, non-hazardous household and office items.
We do not remove:
- Hazardous chemicals, paint, or solvents
- Gasoline, oil, propane tanks, or fuel
- Asbestos and hazardous building materials
- Medical or biological waste
- Regular household garbage or food waste
- Construction and demolition debris
- Flammable or explosive materials
- Contaminated or pest-infested items
- Hazardous liquids and waste storage tanks
Unusually heavy equipment and specialty items requiring regulated disposal are not part of our standard service. If you’re unsure about an item, contact us before scheduling.
Good to Know for Boston
Massachusetts bans mattresses, box springs, and textiles from the regular trash, so they have to be recycled rather than dumped. We route them to approved recycling, and that handling is reflected in your quote up front.
Responsible Junk Removal in Boston
Not everything we remove belongs in a landfill, and in Massachusetts some of it legally can’t go there. Furniture in reusable condition may be suitable for donation, mattresses and textiles go to approved recycling, and eligible metals and electronics are directed to the right facilities whenever practical. Availability depends on the condition of the items and local recycling and donation programs, but our goal is the same every time: make junk removal convenient while handling your unwanted belongings responsibly.

Boston Junk Removal FAQs
Pricing depends on the number and size of items, the space they take up in the truck, stairs and access at the pickup location, and any disposal requirements. Request a quote for an estimate based on your project.
Yes. Most Boston jobs involve stairs. Tell us the floor and whether the stairwell is tight when you request your quote, and we’ll send a crew sized for the carry.
Often, depending on crew availability and your location. Call us in the morning and we’ll tell you what’s possible that day; September 1 week books up fastest.
Yes. Massachusetts requires mattresses and box springs to be recycled rather than thrown out, so we route them to approved recycling and include that handling in your quote.
No. We remove approved items from accessible locations inside your home or business, carry them out, and load them. If you’d rather stage everything in one spot, that can keep the price down.
Absolutely. Many customers clear out the old place right before or after a move. Tell your Move Coordinator and we’ll schedule both together.
Whenever practical. Reusable furniture may go to donation, and mattresses, textiles, and eligible metals go to recycling, depending on condition and local program availability.
Ask us before scheduling. Describe the item when you request a quote and we’ll confirm whether it’s accepted.

Booking Poseidon Moving services couldn't have been easier and the attention given couldn't have been topped. Oleg was a great communicator and we got plenty of emailed information on what to expect moving day and how to best prepare for it. On moving day, communication with the moving crew was clear and concise. The moving team was careful with our belongings and efficient moving things out and into our new place. Couldn't recommend them highly enough.

Poseidon just moved my furniture from Boston to San Francisco, and they did an amazing job. They took great care packing my furniture with padding and blankets, and everything arrived in perfect condition. They stuck to their pick-up and delivery dates, and the upfront pricing was spot on—no surprise charges. The whole experience far exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend!
