Apartment Cleanout in Allston
Apartment Cleanout in Allston
Every September 1, half of Allston moves at once and the sidewalks become a furniture museum nobody curates. Skip the curb: we clear your unit — futon, mattress, the couch that's been through four leases — straight into the truck at flat truck-fill rates, before the walkthrough and before the rain. Landlords flipping multiple units: this is our Super Bowl.
The Sept 1 machine, and how to beat it
Allston runs on one date. Leases die August 31, start September 1, and everything that isn't moving to the next place has about 48 hours to disappear — which is how the neighborhood earned "Allston Christmas," the annual curb buffet of soggy couches and orphaned dressers. Our version is drier: photos of the unit get a flat truck-fill number, the crew carries everything down the triple-decker stairs, and the apartment comes back swept for the deposit walkthrough. Landlords run us unit-to-unit on turnover day, clearing what tenants left between checkout and check-in. Usable furniture — most student furniture, honestly — goes to donation partners intact instead of dissolving on the sidewalk.

Can you clear our place before the September 1 turnover?
Yes — but book early. The last week of August is Boston's busiest hauling week of the year, and windows go fast. Send photos as soon as you know your date and lock the slot.
I'm a landlord with units flipping September 1 — do you do multi-unit runs?
Every year. One booking can cover several units on the same street or the same building — photo each unit, get per-unit flat numbers, and the crew runs them back-to-back between checkout and check-in.
What happens to everything left on the curb during Allston Christmas?
Rain and eleven other people's boots, mostly. Booking a pickup means your stuff skips the curb entirely — usable furniture goes to donation partners dry and intact, and your landlord isn't fined for the pile.
