Pawtucket will pick up up to three pieces of furniture per appointment for free if you book with DPW, and charges small fees for fridges and mattresses. That works for a couple of items at the curb. For anything bigger, from a full apartment to a cellar full of boxes, call us.
We work across Pawtucket, including Darlington, Oak Hill, Fairlawn, Woodlawn and the neighborhoods around downtown and the Blackstone River. Many Pawtucket homes are multi-family, so typical jobs include landlords turning over a unit and families clearing a top-floor apartment.
