Abandoned Furniture Pickup
in Boston

The previous tenant's sofa blocking your move-in. The roommate who ghosted and left a full bedroom. The "I'll come back for it" pile that nobody came back for. We clear left-behinds at flat prices from $75 — a sofa is $170, a whole abandoned room $325 — carried out of any walk-up, with a receipt that settles the deposit conversation.

The three ways furniture gets abandoned in Boston

The previous tenant's

You arrive September 1 and their sofa is still in the living room. The landlord should fix it — but your moving truck is double-parked now. One photo, one flat price, gone before you unpack.

The ghost roommate's

Moved out early, left the room "to deal with later." At the walkthrough their pile becomes everyone's deposit problem. Clearing it first — split among the group — beats the bill-back.

The landlord's inheritance

Tenant gone, unit full. It can't show and can't rent until it's empty. We clear it, photograph the empty rooms, and invoice the property — blocks bookable for turnover week.

What left-behinds cost to clear

What they leftFlat price

Loveseat$128
Armchair$104
Twin mattress / queen / king$111 / $139 / $154
Box spring$124

$75 minimum. The carry down any triple-decker or brownstone stairs, donation routing and disposal are included. Every pickup comes with an itemized receipt — the document that ends deposit arguments.

Why the curb isn't the move

Boston's September curbs are legendary — "Allston Christmas" — but the folklore skips the fine print. Massachusetts bans mattresses and CRT screens from the trash, so those pieces simply won't be collected; they'll sit at your address until someone deals with them properly. City curbside bulk pickup takes a few items on a schedule, not a room on your deadline, and it won't come inside. Rain beats the scavengers to anything upholstered. And if the pile traces back to your unit, the deposit pays for the cleanup at the building's rate, not yours. A receipted pickup is cheaper, faster, and the sound pieces actually reach donation instead of a soaked curb.

The deposit math

Landlords don't clear left-behinds at our prices — they call their hauler, pay whatever the rush rate is, add administrative time, and deduct the total. During September 1 week that number peaks. Against it: a $170 sofa, a $325 room, split however the lease was split, done on your schedule with proof. Whether you're the tenant protecting a deposit or the landlord documenting a turnover cost, the itemized receipt is the paper both sides can live with.

How it works

1 · Photo the left-behinds

The sofa, the room, the pile — one photo covers it. Flat price back in seconds.

2 · Pick a window

Same-day when one's open; during the Sept 1 rush, book by Aug 25 to choose your slot.

3 · Gone, with proof

Carried out, donation sorted, itemized receipt to your email — landlord-ready.

What customers say

★★★★★

"Moved into our Somerville place Sept 1 and the old tenant's bed and dresser were still there. They came the next morning, before our furniture delivery. Saved the whole move."

— Alex B., Somerville
★★★★★

"Roommate vanished to a new job and left everything. Three of us split the room clear — way less than what the landlord was going to take off the deposit."

— Sarah L., Brighton
★★★★★

"I had two units full of left-behinds on turnover week. Cleared both in one morning, photos of the empty rooms, one invoice. My new tenants moved in on time."

— Mike O., landlord, Dorchester

Abandoned furniture questions, answered

The old tenant left stuff — do I have to deal with it?

It's the landlord's to resolve; many authorize the removal on the spot. If your move-in can't wait, the pickup is flat-priced and the receipt documents everything.

What does it cost?

Per piece from $75 (sofa $170, mattresses $111–$154, dresser $169); piles $110–$280; whole rooms from $325.

Why can't the mattress go to the curb?

Massachusetts bans mattresses (and CRTs) from the trash — they won't be collected. We route them to recycling instead.

How fast can you come?

Same-day when a window is open; during Sept 1 week, pre-booked windows win — book by Aug 25.

Do you document the removal?

Every pickup gets an itemized receipt, and turnover clears include photos of the emptied rooms on request.
