We had an A+ experience with Jon and Clean Slate a couple of weeks back. We needed to have a bunch…read moreof large items -- an old piano, ping pong table, a bunch of old carpets, and various old pieces of furniture -- removed from our basement in Hingham. We contacted Clean Slate based on the positive Yelp reviews and their proximity. Jon responded to our email and provided an estimate range within a day, and then came over with an assistant 2 -3 business days later and removed everything we had tagged as well as a whole lot of miscellaneous items we identified in the 2 - 3 hours they were here. Notwithstanding the stuff we had added along the way, his price came in middle of the range he had provided since he explained that disassembling the piano went smoothly. Jon is a true professional -- friendly, efficient, careful, and customer-focused. We don't usually remember to do Yelp reviews but Jon and his colleague were above and beyond expectations. And he even sent us a handwritten thank-you note afterward (who does that?). Great local small business. We'd use him again in a heartbeat! Jack F.

Having a recycle center that takes many items not accepted in the curbside program is tremendously helpful in reusing these resources rather than sending them to the landfill! All but one Mass. landfill is scheduled to close by 2025, & we already send our trash as far as MI & AL.

Plastic bags/films are accepted at Star Market, & Whole Foods accepts some plastic bags/films & wine corks.

Was looking for options to dispose of tile, drywall, and an old vanity from a bathroom remodel…read more Went through all of the junk removal businesses and found no quotes for less than $200. I thought I could do a bit better. I found James G Grant and figured I'd give it a shot. It's a bit intimidating at first given the visuals-- heavy machinery everywhere, large piles of all different materials, etc. but folks were happy to help. This is one of the places where all of the commercial junk removal businesses bring their materials and then do a healthy up-charge for the convenience. I went in to the office, asked for what the process was and was told to drive on to the scale. Once the weight registered, I got a thumbs up and then followed the One Way signs to the dumping area for construction materials. I backed in, dumped everything, and then back to the scale. Drove through the scale again, another thumbs up, and then parked and went to the office for payment. The price was very reasonable. Only about $60. The entire process took maybe 15 minutes. I was very happy with the experience and highly recommend if people in the Boston area have to dispose of larger materials and have a means to transport them.

The truck drivers are friendly, and hard working. My main issue with them is their billing practices. They never tell you this, but they will charge $100 for a failed drop.

They will just charge your card without another word, which is a very frustrating business practice.
