ABOUT US

Lug Away is a locally owned junk removal company headquartered in Watertown, MA. We’re not a franchise — every job is handled by our own crew, local people who know Greater Boston and take the work seriously. We’ve served Arlington, Watertown, Belmont, Cambridge, and Somerville for years, building our reputation on showing up on time, giving honest estimates, and leaving every site clean. No subcontractors, no surprises.
When you call, you talk to someone on the crew, not a call center. We’ll walk you through what we haul, give you a volume-based estimate before touching anything, and finish the job in one trip whenever possible. Pricing is based on volume — no flat-rate minimums, no hidden fees.

Frequently Asked Questions
I live in an East Arlington condo and need it cleared out. Do you handle apartment and condo cleanouts?
Yes, Lug Away handles apartment and condo cleanouts in East Arlington, the most densely populated part of the city, where these jobs come up often. Tell us what needs to go and describe the project in your own words. Our crew takes it from there and handles all the heavy lifting.
Do you take Venmo or Zelle, or is it cash only?
Lug Away accepts cash, checks, Venmo and Zelle. Payment is settled at the end of the job, after everything is loaded and we have double-checked that we got it all. After that, the crew takes everything away and recycles what it can.
Is the price you give me when I first describe the job the one I actually pay?
The first price is approximate, and the final price is the firm estimate Lug Away gives you once we have seen the junk in person. We never start work until you have agreed to that cost. The price follows the amount of space your junk takes up in the truck.
Are you a big franchise, or do your own people do the work?
Lug Away is not a franchise. We are a locally owned junk removal company headquartered in Watertown, MA, and every job is handled by our own crew, with no subcontractors. The people who answer your questions are the same crew members who do the work.
My contractor is still working on the addition. Can you clear the construction debris while the project keeps going?
Yes, Lug Away can clear construction debris at any stage of a renovation, including in the middle of the project, so the work keeps moving safely. Our construction debris removal service covers homes and businesses, and we handle safe removal and proper disposal whatever the material.
I run a shop on Mass Ave. Do you do office and retail pickups?
Yes, Lug Away handles office and retail pickups along the Mass Ave corridor in Arlington Center, as well as other office and commercial jobs. That stretch runs past the Regent Theatre and Robbins Library and has steady pickups. Describe what you have and we will give you a straightforward estimate before any work begins.
