Apartment Cleanout in Salem & the North Shore

We clear out the apartment and carry everything down for you

We clear out apartments and condos, from a few leftover pieces to a full unit. It's for people moving out who ran out of time or room on the moving truck, and for landlords and property managers who need a unit ready for the next tenant. Filipe, the crew and I do all of the lifting and carry everything down the stairs or the elevator to the truck, and we sweep up the rooms we cleared before we leave.

How We Handle It

You can text us photos of each room, or one of us can come walk the apartment with you, and either way you get the price before we start. When we quote from photos, we confirm the number against what we find before anything is loaded, and it doesn't change after that. On the day, we take everything that's going, including what's in the closets, the kitchen cabinets and the building's storage space if the unit has one, and anything still usable goes for donation before the rest goes for recycling or disposal. If your lease asks for a professional cleaning when you leave, the cleaner can come in right after us.

We also do furniture removal, couch and sofa removal, mattress and box spring removal, and eviction cleanouts.

How Much Will This Cost?

Pricing is based on the space your load takes up in the truck, or on weight for heavy material. We give you a free, firm price in person before any work begins, and once you agree to it, it does not go up.

• $120 minimum pickup
• $70 to $100 per cubic yard
• Closer to $70 when it is light and easy to reach

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. See the full pricing page.

If it's only one or two pieces, your town's bulk pickup may cost less than we would. Here's what bulk pickup costs in six North Shore towns.

About Us, Our Story

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 give a single couch the same care as a full estate cleanout. Families and businesses around Salem, Swampscott, Beverly, Lynn, and Marblehead have left us 350+ five-star reviews.

The Junk Heroes is an independent company that two brothers built and still run, with a crew of friends who haul alongside them, and we stand behind every job we do.

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.
