Marvin and his team were outstanding in removing junk from our property. I am so glad I picked them to do the job.
I liked that Marvin was able to provide an estimate upfront based on photos I sent him in advance. I knew roughly what I was going to pay on the day and avoided having to spend time haggling to get a lower price like some other junk removers.
Marvin and his brother showed up on time and quickly got to work filling their truck with everything from a queen mattress to old gardening tools, piles of empty cardboard boxes and household trash. Communication throughout was great.
I can't recommend Marvin enough. Thanks guys. Amazing work!

On a whim we decided to finally clean out our garage, we had big heavy closet doors, a couch section, some kids items that were no longer usable, as well as tires, fencing from an old project, and even tiles from when we had done some renovation on our home. We found Marvin Junk Removal through a google search and were so happy with how easy it was to get a quote! They came by first thing the next morning and were super quick and professional. We will definitely reach out again if the need comes up.

Marvin was a massive help removing a mattress, multiple tables, bags, a rug, some storage and additional items. He was quick, efficient and incredibly friendly throughout the process.

Marvin and his crew removed an old dryer, construction debris, and a ton of packaging material during my home renovation project. They were super punctual and responsive, gave me a quote within minutes, and had the whole job done in about 15 minutes. Super happy with their work and would absolutely use them again.

Marvin’s Junk Removal of Somerville moved out a bed frame, mattress, desk, couch, chair, lamp and miscellaneous items from a furnished studio rental. I wanted to get rid of the old furniture. They were easy to contact, available to schedule same week, arrived on time, got the job done efficiently. Would recommend and use again.
Response from the owner · 2 weeks ago
Thanks for the review! Glad the same-week scheduling worked out and we got everything out of the studio without a hassle. Clearing a furnished rental in one trip is a good way to do it. Bed frame, mattress, desk, couch, and chair is a full load, and the mattress and couch are usually the heavy part. Happy to help with the next junk removal job in Somerville or anywhere around Boston.
