If you are clearing out a house in Woburn, stripping a bathroom, or finally dealing with the garage, you need a container on the driveway and a firm date for it to leave again. That is the whole job we do.
Woburn mixes dense older neighborhoods near the center with commercial space along the 128 corridor. Which of the two you are in changes the placement conversation completely, so the notes field is worth filling in properly on this one.
Steve owns the trucks and answers the phone. For a Woburn customer that means the price you see when you book is the price you pay, and any question about the job goes to someone who has actually been on it.
Home cleanouts and decluttering in Woburn
Cleanouts are the most common reason people in Woburn call us, and they are also the job most likely to be underestimated. A single garage rarely fills a container on volume — but add the basement, the shed and thirty years of furniture and it adds up faster than anyone expects. If you are clearing a whole property, start at the 15-yard.
Parade Sunday in Woburn
The last Sunday in October is Parade Sunday in Woburn. The Woburn Host Lions Club has run the Halloween Parade for more than 70 years, and the route runs 2.2 miles down Main Street from the north end of the city, through Woburn Center, and out Lake Avenue to Horn Pond. The Lions put the crowd along the route at 80,000.
- Woburn Host Lions Halloween Parade Last Sunday in October, 1pm, Main Street to Horn Pond. Bands, floats, and a full afternoon of closures along Main Street.
- Horn Pond Year round. The city's biggest green space, at the end of the parade route.
Main Street is closed from early afternoon on Parade Sunday, and the side streets fill with parked cars from mid-morning. A delivery anywhere near the route that day should move to Saturday or Monday.

Choosing the spot
Flat and paved beats everything. A loaded container concentrates several tons onto four small contact points, so gravel, soft ground and freshly sealed asphalt all deserve a mention when you book, and plywood under the rails solves most of it.
On a public street in Woburn you will generally need a permit from the town, and that is the customer's responsibility. On your own driveway there is nothing to arrange beyond leaving the space clear on the morning.
What can go in
Household junk, furniture, wood, drywall, roofing, metal and yard waste are all fine. Hazardous material, tires, electronics, appliances containing refrigerants, mattresses and masonry are not. The full lists are on the FAQ page, and they are worth two minutes before you load: a prohibited item carries a $200 removal fee plus whatever the disposal facility charges us.
Asbestos and hazardous material
Asbestos cannot go in the container, and that one is not a fee - no Massachusetts facility can accept it, so a load with it in cannot be tipped anywhere. If the building dates from before 1980 and you are disturbing siding, roofing, floor tile, pipe insulation or old plaster, test it before you load anything. A newer building is not automatically clear either - MassDEP identifies suspect material by what it is, not by the year the building went up, so if you are unsure about something, have it tested.

Work out your size first
The most common mistake on a Woburn job is ordering one size too small, then paying for a second haul. These take a minute and cost nothing.

Woburn questions
How quickly can you deliver to Woburn?
Often same day or next. Same-day and short-notice deliveries carry a $75 rush fee, shown on screen before you pay, and orders placed after 2pm roll to the next operating day. We deliver Monday through Saturday, 7am to 5pm, and answer the phone later than that.
How much does a dumpster cost in Woburn?
The same as everywhere else we serve. Prices start at $475 and include delivery, pickup and disposal; the only other charge is the $19 booking fee, shown before you pay. There is no haul charge and no percentage added at the end. You see the exact price on screen before you pay, and the only extras are the listed fees for going over the tonnage, keeping it longer, or putting something prohibited in it.
Will the truck damage my driveway in Woburn?
A loaded container puts several tons onto four small contact points, so on new asphalt, sealed surfaces or gravel it is worth saying so when you book. Plywood under the rails spreads the load and prevents marking. Tell us in the placement notes and we will plan for it rather than discover it on the day.
