Junk removal in New England

Old mattresses get their own route in three New England states. Connecticut and Rhode Island both run the Mattress Recycling Council's Bye Bye Mattress program, and in both, most town transfer stations take part and accept mattresses from town residents. In Rhode Island, any resident can also bring one to Tough Stuff Recycling in Pawtucket or the Central Landfill in Johnston. Massachusetts changed its rule on November 1, 2022: from then on, waste disposal companies without a state contract could no longer accept mattresses.

Questions homeowners ask

How accurate is a photo estimate?
It’s a ballpark, not a quote. A photo gives us a good read on how much there is, but a hauler who sees it in person will always be more precise. Use our number as the range to expect before you start calling around.
How is junk removal priced?
By how much of a truck your stuff fills — a few items cost far less than a full truckload. Heavy or special items like appliances and mattresses add a disposal fee.
Do you handle big or heavy items?
Most haulers do — appliances, furniture, mattresses, construction debris. Let us know in the quick questions so the ballpark includes the disposal fees.
Is this really free?
Yes. No signup, no credit card, no spam. We only make money if you choose to connect with a local pro — and that’s up to you.
What photo works best?
One shot that shows the whole pile, or the full room, gives the best read on how much there is.
