Before and After
Job Overview
This Melrose junk removal project was quick but oddly satisfying. A local homeowner had stacked a pile of flattened cardboard boxes and packing scraps in the narrow alley behind their home, hoping to recycle them “later.” Over time, that pile turned into a soggy wall of boxes pressed against the fence, blocking access to a side gate and attracting dust from nearby traffic.
When our Melrose junk removal team arrived, we found a mix of broken-down moving boxes, shipping cartons, and packing paper wedged between a stucco wall and a wooden fence. The area barely had room to turn a dolly, so we worked in pairs, hand-carrying bundles to the truck parked on the street.
Because cardboard absorbs moisture fast, several boxes had softened and torn apart during the lift. We kept a few dry pieces separate for recycling and loaded the rest for proper disposal. Our crew also swept the ground clean of tape strips and loose scraps so nothing blew back into the yard after we left.
Our Approach:
- Cleared a safe path through the alley for movement and sorting.
- Flattened and bundled any remaining intact boxes.
- Collected damp cardboard and debris into compostable bags for transfer.
- Completed a final sweep and light rinse of the area to remove dust and paper bits.
