What We Remove
From a single item to a full property cleanout, no job is too big or too small.
"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."

Load Sizes
A Full Load Is 20 Cubic Yards
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 like a full basement.

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you come for a pickup?
Often same-day, and next-day most of the time. 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.
What areas do you serve?
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, and Manchester-by-the-Sea, all of the North Shore.
What kinds of items do you haul away?
Almost anything, furniture, mattresses, appliances, electronics, yard waste, construction debris, garage and basement clutter, hot tubs, sheds, even full estate cleanouts. If you can point at it, we can probably take it.
Are there any items you can't take?
Three things: asbestos, medical or biohazard waste, and anything leaking or still smouldering. That is the whole list. Paint, chemicals and oil we do take, they just need special handling, so they are quoted separately and we tell you before we start. For everything else, just ask. If we can't take it, we'll usually point you to who can.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes, fully licensed and insured, so you and your property are protected from the moment we pull up to the moment we leave. We treat every job site like our own home.
Where does my junk actually go?
We sort every load. Anything in usable condition gets donated, 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. Mellow in Georgetown when we need to dump mid-route. Keeping the North Shore clean, and out of landfills, is a core part of how we work.
