Furniture Removal in Salem & the North Shore

We take out the dining set, the dresser and the rest of the furniture

Old furniture is heavy and hard to get through a doorway. We take couches, sectionals, dining tables, dressers, and the rest down the tight hallways and staircases for you. If a piece still has life in it, it goes to a local North Shore charity first, and only what nobody can use gets disposed of.

How We Handle It

We move heavy furniture for a living, so we know how to get it out without scratching a wall or cracking a doorframe. What can't be donated gets recycled where it can be, and as little as possible ends up in the landfill. Text us a photo of the piece and we'll send you a quote.

We also do couch and sofa removal, mattress and box spring removal, piano removal, and senior downsizing 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 you want to try the town first, six North Shore towns each handle a couch or a dresser differently, and Marblehead does not pick up bulk items at the curb at all. Here is what each of those six towns does with furniture, and the one that takes none of it curbside.

In Salem a couch or a chair is a normal bulk item at $20, as long as you can get it out to the curb yourself. Here is how Salem's bulk pickup is booked and what the city will not take at any price.

We clear furniture out of rentals between tenants too, and on a turnover the couch a tenant left in the living room may not be yours to throw away. Here is what Massachusetts law says about a tenant's belongings, and the order we work a turnover in.

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.
