Rowhouse Turnover Junk Removal
Thirty thousand students rent the brick rowhomes across Lower North Philly — Cecil B. Moore, the Yorktown edge, the blocks around campus — and every lease change leaves mattresses, couches, and cheap furniture behind. We haul it off the porch and out of the basement, same-day in move week, at one flat photo-quoted price. We bag the mattress for you, and there's no PA sales tax on the service.
Move-out season on Cecil B. Moore
Temple's roughly 30,000 students live spread across the rowhouse blocks of Lower North Philadelphia — Cecil B. Moore Avenue, the edge of Yorktown, and the tight grid around Main Campus — renting brick rowhomes alongside longtime neighborhood residents. When leases turn, they turn all at once, and what's left on the sidewalks and porches is always the same: mattresses, box springs, sagging couches, particleboard desks, mini-fridges, and bags of stuff nobody's driving home. Twice a year that trickle becomes a flood — around mid-May commencement, when campus empties out, and again as leases end in late August, when the off-campus houses all change hands at once.
That's when a flat-price crew that carries it out is worth its weight. Instead of dragging a mattress down three flights and hoping it doesn't sit ticketed on the curb, you send us a photo, get a flat number, and we take it from wherever it is — the third-floor bedroom, the porch, the basement — to the truck. We bag the mattress the way the city requires, route anything still usable to donation, and get it gone the same day whenever we can. (Exact commencement and lease-end dates shift year to year — check your program's calendar and book early either way.)
What we haul near Temple
- Mattresses & box springs — the number-one move-out item; bagged and recycled, no curb ticket.
- Couches, loveseats & futons — the tired student sofa, out of the living room and gone.
- Cheap furniture — desks, bookshelves, dressers, and folding chairs that aren't worth moving.
- Whole-house move-out piles — a roommate house cleared in one truck-fill load, split among everyone.
- Landlord turnover cleanouts — everything a departing tenant left, plus a basement full, cleared between leases.

Does the city take a move-out pile?
Barely, and not on your schedule. Philadelphia's two-item curbside bulk limit means you can set out two big items on your trash day — so a mattress and a couch might go, but the box spring, the desk, and everything else has to wait for next week. Mattresses have to be sealed in a plastic mattress bag or they can draw a ticket, and appliances like a mini-fridge need a separate 311 appointment scheduled days out. In a move-out week, "two items a week" and "book an appointment" are useless — you're leaving in three days.
We're the same-day, take-it-all alternative. The whole house's worth goes on one truck, one flat price, whenever you need it in the crunch — we bag the mattress, we carry it off the porch and up from the basement, and you don't leave a ticketed pile behind for your landlord (or your security deposit).
The steady landlord lane
Between the two student surges, the North Philly rental market never really stops turning. Owners of these rowhomes call us the same week a tenant leaves: haul the abandoned mattress and busted furniture, clear the trash and the basement, and hand the unit back rent-ready. We give a flat photo-quoted number, work around your make-ready schedule, and can usually come same-day so the vacancy is short. It's the quiet, year-round half of what we do on these blocks — and we keep it clean and respectful, because plenty of the neighbors have lived here a lot longer than any lease.
Access on the Temple blocks, handled
- Third-floor bedrooms & narrow rowhouse stairs — we carry mattresses and furniture down; you don't wrestle them on the stairwell.
- Porches & stoops — pile it out front and we take it, or we come inside and get it; either way, one price.
- Basements — the cellar full of a departing tenant's leftovers, carried up and gone.
- Mattress bagging + donation — every mattress bagged and recycled; usable furniture routed to Goodwill or VVA.
What Temple-area customers say
"Moving out of a house on Cecil B. Moore, four of us, and we had two mattresses, a broken couch, and a mountain of junk. One flat price for the whole house, split it four ways, came the same day. Way cheaper than renting a van."
"I rent to students near campus and turn units every August. They clear the leftover mattresses, furniture, and basement junk in one trip at a flat price so I can get the next lease in. Reliable every year."
"Just needed my mattress and box spring gone before I flew home. They bagged the mattress themselves — I didn't even know that was a rule — carried it down from the third floor, and there was no tax on it. Painless."
