In North Andover we do basement and garage cleanouts, attic clear-outs, shed removals and renovation debris, plus office turnover along the Route 114 corridor. We're a brother-owned crew, and we work the rest of the North Shore too.
If you're in North Andover, MA and need junk hauled away, give us a call. We're a brother-owned business based in Salem, and we treat every customer like a neighbor.
North Andover is a large Essex County town of single-family homes, a straight run up Route 114 from Salem through Middleton, which we already cover. Houses here come with basements, garages and attics, and that is most of what we haul: basement and garage cleanouts, attic clear-outs, shed removals and renovation debris. The Route 114 corridor also brings us smaller commercial work, office turnover and clear-outs when a unit changes hands. We quote the job in person before anything moves, and the price we give you is the price you pay.
In North Andover we take a single couch as readily as a basement that filled up over the years. You point at what goes, we carry it out from wherever it sits, and you do not lift anything.
"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!"
"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!!!"
"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."
The ones people ask about: we do take paint, chemicals, motor oil, tires, car batteries and propane tanks. They are quoted separately because they need special handling. Mattresses and box springs go to a mattress recycler whenever it will accept them, TVs and monitors go to an e-waste recycler, and appliances holding refrigerant go to a recycler that recovers the refrigerant. Each of those recyclers charges per item, and we pass that charge on for every piece it accepts. All of these charges come on top of the minimum or the volume price, and we tell you each one and confirm it with you before any work starts. Mattresses, box springs, old tube (CRT) TVs and monitors, and appliances holding refrigerant are disposal-banned in Massachusetts. The only things we turn down are asbestos, medical or biohazard waste, and anything leaking or still smoldering. See everything we take.
Most of our estate work starts with a family emptying a house on a deadline they did not choose. We clear the house room by room instead of loading straight onto the truck, and anything that looks worth keeping gets set aside for the family.
These take longer than a normal job, and we price them that way up front. We work quietly, and we keep what we see in the house to ourselves. Anything that might matter gets set aside for you first.
Other jobs we take on in North Andover:
Everything we do falls into four groups, and each one has its own page: residential junk removal, commercial services, cleanout services, and light demolition and hauling.
North Andover's town hauler does not pick up house cleanouts at the curb. The town defines a cleanout as large volumes of household contents from a move, an eviction, an estate, a foreclosure, a renovation, downsizing or a turnover, furniture, fixtures and construction debris included, and says that kind of load needs special arrangements and may cost extra or be refused. Its advice for excess trash is to drive it yourself to the town's recycling contractor on Holt Road, where residents pay by the pound with proof of residency and anyone in a business truck pays business rates.
Recycling is picked up every other week for homes that qualify for curbside service, and anyone else can bring household recycling to the same Holt Road site for free. Yard waste goes to the town's Cyr Recycle Center, and household chemicals go to its yearly hazardous waste day. A house cleanout is the kind of job the town sends elsewhere, and we load it from inside the house.
We checked each rule above against the official page it links to in October 2026.
Pricing is based on how much room your load takes up in the truck, so you are paying for space rather than for an hour of somebody's time. These are the same rates everywhere we work, North Andover included.
Two things move the rate: how heavy the load is and how easy it is to reach. If the load is light and we can walk straight to it, the rate drops toward $70 a yard. A long carry or a third-floor walk-up takes longer than a driveway and pushes it the other way. Tile, plaster and concrete are priced by weight instead. For a very small job close to our Salem base we can sometimes bring the minimum down to $80 to $100, so it is worth asking. The minimum can also be higher for a job well outside our normal routes. Paint, chemicals, motor oil, tires, car batteries and propane tanks are quoted separately because they need special handling. Mattresses, box springs, TVs, monitors and appliances holding refrigerant go to a recycler that charges for them. You get a firm number in person before anything moves, and that number is what you pay. If you are weighing this against renting a dumpster, we put dumpster rental and junk removal side by side on price, on permits and on where a container is allowed to sit.
Call or text, tell us what needs to go, and we give you a firm price in person before anything moves.
The Junk Heroes is a brother-owned and operated junk removal company rooted in Salem, MA. We live right on the line between Salem and Swampscott, two minutes from Vinnin Square, and we started this business because we wanted to run a junk removal service that showed up on time, treated customers like neighbors, and charged honest prices.
We do this by the book. We carry $2M in general liability, a $1M umbrella policy and $1M in commercial auto coverage. We are USDOT registered (USDOT 8843043), our drivers hold DOT medical cards, and we hold commercial accounts at the disposal facilities we use, so every load ends up where it is supposed to. Call or text in English or Portuguese.
The Swampscott Tides, a local paper on the North Shore, has written about us twice.
Yes, every part of it, Marble Ridge Station, Suttons Mills and Stevens Crossing included. We cover Andover Bypass, Winthrop Avenue, Waverley Road, Turnpike Street, Peters Street, Sutton Street, Great Pond Road and Andover Street, plus every street that runs off them. We are based in Salem.
In North Andover, pricing is based on how much room your stuff takes up in the truck, with a $120 minimum for a job. Access moves the number too, because a walk-up takes longer than a driveway, and tile, plaster and concrete are priced by weight. You get a firm price in person before we touch anything, and that price does not change afterwards. If you want the longer version, we broke down what junk removal actually costs in Massachusetts and why it runs above the national averages. Garages, basements and attics are some of the most common calls we get, and we wrote up what a garage cleanout costs and which garage items get their own line.
Often, yes. We are reachable 24/7 and we do a lot of same-day work, but we will not promise same-day sight unseen, because it depends on what is already on the truck that day. Call and we will tell you straight whether we can get to you in North Andover the same day. If you are a landlord or a property manager turning a unit around, we wrote up how we clear a rental between tenants and what the week around it looks like.
Yes, and single items are a lot of what we do: one couch, one mattress, one fridge. We drive out for a single piece the same as we would for a full basement, and you do not have to drag it to the curb first, though we will take a curbside pile if that is what you already have. A hot tub is the exception, because that one gets drained and cut down before it can leave, so we wrote up how to get rid of a hot tub in Massachusetts.
Anything still usable from a job in North Andover goes for donation, mostly to Big Blue Bargains in Swampscott, More Than Words in Boston and The Salvation Army. Scrap metal goes to Turner Inc in Lynn. The rest normally goes to the Republic transfer station in Peabody, and if we have to dump in the middle of a route we use Pinto Recycling in Peabody or G. Mello in Georgetown. We would rather name the actual places than just tell you we recycle. If you would rather go through North Andover itself, how North Andover handles bulk items is set out further up this page.
