Henrique and Filipe, the two brothers who own The Junk Heroes, built it on one promise: treat every customer like a neighbor. Today it is the two of them and a crew of friends, treating your home with respect at honest prices across the entire North Shore.
We take jobs of every size, from a single item to a full property cleanout.
"Absolutely recommend!!! Excellent communication, very polite, and clear pricing. These guys WANT TO WORK, flexible and patient as our plans kept shifting. My dad has dementia and they were incredibly sensitive to our situation. We really appreciated that!"
"Absolutely awesome experience with Junk Heroes! Professional, friendly, efficient, and incredibly quick. They showed up on time and made the whole junk-removal process painless. Moving out of an apartment is stressful enough, so a crew that takes pride in the work was huge."
"Junk Heroes did an amazing job with our junk removal in Saugus, Massachusetts. They arrived on time, worked fast, and completely cleared out a porch that was packed with junk, boxes, and old items. The before-and-after difference was amazing."
"The Junk Heroes are awesome!!! Excellent communication, showed up on time, and worked quickly. They were super careful while removing a heavy, awkward appliance through an old house and they talked to each other throughout the process to make sure nothing was damaged."
"Absolutely would recommend Henrique and Filipe, so nice and professional and came same day for both a quote and the actual removal!! They were careful to pivot things around our existing furniture and walls so as not to scratch or damage anything. Only good things to say!"
"Did a wonderful job from start to finish. Had 2 hospital beds that needed to be dismantled and hauled away. They took great care in moving the pieces throughout my house and getting them on the truck. Pricing was transparent and fair."
"I was looking for junk removal in Swampscott MA and the Junk Heroes came through. Enrique and Rey were on time, courteous, careful, and did a great job for us."
"Great job demolishing and removing my shed. Excellent communication, fair price and friendly service. The trifecta of any business!"
"Henrique and his brother were amazing! I texted them at 9 and they were at my house by 10, gave a very reasonable estimate (for free) and had all my junk gone by 10:30. They were incredibly professional and courteous. I will 100% call them again!!!"
"These guys are awesome. They take care of the customer. Pricing is super fair."
"Very responsive with great communication on pickup and removal times. Newer very clean truck arrived for job. Left space clean and offered a fair price. Happy to work with young local business that goes out of its way to please the customer."
"It is a pleasure to recommend The Junk Heroes of Salem, MA! Their response time from estimate to disposing of my items was quick and easy. The owner Henrique was professional and polite, and he insisted on sweeping up after the job even though I told him not to worry about it."
Reach us by phone or fill out our quick form. We'll get back to you fast, usually within minutes during the day.
For a simple job like a single couch we can usually give you an estimate over the phone and confirm it when we arrive. For anything bigger we look at it in person and give you an exact price before we start.
We do the lifting and the loading, and we sweep the spot before we leave.

"We built this company on hard work, honesty, and the belief that our North Shore neighbors deserve the best."
Filipe & Henrique, The Junk Heroes
We're two brothers and a crew of friends, and we always leave your space cleaner than we found it.
From Salem to Gloucester and beyond, if you're on the North Shore, we come to you.
Not sure if we serve your area? Give us a call at 978-915-3399 and we'll let you know right away.
That is about eight standard pickup truck beds, and most jobs are a fraction of it.
Your price is set by how much room your junk takes up in the truck, starting at our $120 minimum, so a couple of chairs never costs what a full basement costs.
We often get out the same day. We are open 24/7, so call or text us at 978-915-3399 in the morning and we will tell you straight what we can fit in. We will not promise same-day before we know what is already on the truck that day.
We cover Salem, Swampscott, Lynn, Marblehead, Beverly, Peabody, Danvers, Nahant, Lynnfield, Revere, Saugus, Middleton, North Reading, Boxford, Topsfield, Wenham, Hamilton, Essex, Ipswich, Gloucester, Rockport, Winthrop, Everett, Malden, Melrose, Wakefield, Reading, Stoneham, Rowley, Georgetown, Newburyport, Newbury, North Andover, Andover, Medford, Chelsea, Woburn, Wilmington, Burlington, Winchester, and Manchester-by-the-Sea, across the North Shore and into Middlesex and Suffolk counties.
We haul almost anything: furniture, mattresses, appliances, electronics, yard waste, construction debris, garage and basement clutter, hot tubs, sheds, even full estate cleanouts. If you are not sure about something, call or text 978-915-3399 and describe it.
There are three things: asbestos, medical or biohazard waste, and anything leaking or still smoldering. That is the whole list. We do take paint, chemicals, motor oil, tires, car batteries and propane tanks, but they need special handling, so they are quoted separately and we tell you before we start. Mattresses, box springs, TVs, monitors and appliances holding refrigerant go to a specific recycler and carry a separate fee the same way. For everything else, just ask. If we can't take it, we'll usually point you to who can.
Yes, fully licensed and insured. We carry $2M in general liability, a $1M umbrella policy and $1M in commercial auto coverage. We are USDOT registered (USDOT 8843043), and our drivers hold DOT medical cards. You and your property are protected from the moment we pull up to the moment we leave, and we treat every job site like our own home.
We sort every load. Anything in usable condition goes for donation, mostly to Big Blue Bargains in Swampscott, More Than Words in Boston and The Salvation Army, and scrap metal goes to Turner Inc in Lynn. Everything else goes to the Republic transfer station in Peabody, or to Pinto Recycling in Peabody or G. Mello in Georgetown when we need to dump mid-route. We keep as much out of landfills as we can.
If you want more detail before you book, our junk removal guides cover costs, town bulk trash rules, and estate cleanouts.
Open 24/7, and a real person answers. Call and you'll get someone on our team, never an AI or a call center.
