Junk removal in Taunton, MA

Taunton homeowners, landlords and families call Big Blue Removal when the city's curbside program runs out of room. It takes one bulky item a week per home and leaves out sofa beds, recliners and mattresses, which does not help much when you are emptying a house or turning over an apartment.

We are a local company based at 182 East St. in Attleboro, and we have been hauling junk for 26 years. We work for Taunton homeowners, landlords, contractors and families clearing out a property, and every job starts with a free estimate. We are open every day from 8am to 7pm, fully insured on every job, and we can take emergency and last-minute calls.

Furniture, appliances, mattresses, yard waste, construction debris, sheds, hot tubs and whole-house cleanouts all go on the same truck. Tell us what needs to go from your Taunton home, garage, cellar or job site, and we will give you an estimate before any work starts.

Furniture and bulky items

The city's regulations allow one bulky item per week per home, for buildings of four units or fewer. That works for an old chair. It does not work for a living room, a bedroom set and a dining table. We carry out as many pieces as the job has and haul them away in the same visit.

Mattresses and box springs

Mattresses and box springs are excluded from curbside bulky pickup, and at the Convenience Center a mattress and a box spring each count as a separate unit. Massachusetts also bans mattresses from the trash. We carry them out of the house and keep them out of the waste stream.

Appliances and metal

White goods and bulk metal are collected only one day a month, by appointment. If a washer, a dryer or a fridge has to leave this week, that schedule does not help. We take appliances on your timing, and metal is recycled where we can.

Construction and demolition debris

Curbside collection excludes construction, demolition and remodeling debris, and the Convenience Center's list does not include it. Contractors and homeowners call us for lumber, drywall, flooring, windows and cabinets, and for a demolished shed or deck.

Yard waste and brush

Curbside yard waste is collected only in set weeks, in barrels, boxes or paper bags with no plastic. Outside those weeks, or when you have more than a few bags, we haul brush, branches and leaves away, one pile or the whole yard.

The Convenience Center is also limited to Taunton residents and a few days a week, which is another reason many people hand the job to us.

We do not publish a price list, because two jobs that look the same from the street can be very different once you see them. These are the things we look at when we estimate a Taunton job.

• How much there is. We measure by the space it takes on the truck, not by the number of items.
• How heavy it is. Tile, plaster, concrete and wet lumber weigh far more than furniture.
• How far it has to be carried. Stairs, a narrow cellar door or a long walk to the truck add time.
• Whether anything needs separate handling. Mattresses, appliances with refrigerant and construction debris often do.
• How soon you need it done. Last-minute jobs are possible, and we will tell you what that means for the schedule.

For small pickups we can often estimate from a photo. Text one to 508-510-1813. For a garage, a cellar or a whole house, we come out and look at it in person. The estimate is free, with no obligation.
