## The honest read

The Green Team is a Holliston junk-removal company Fred started in 2018 with a specific mission: keep as much as possible out of landfills. The company says it recycles, reuses or donates about 80% of what it hauls, and it has a public track record backing that up — for several years running, it's partnered with towns like Hopkinton and utilities like Eversource and National Grid on donation and recycling drives, and sponsored a Girl Scout troop's electronics-recycling fundraiser. Its BBB profile carries an A+ grade.

The Google reviews run from 2022 to 2026 (162 ratings, virtually all five stars) and describe Fred personally handling scheduling and showing up fast — several reviewers say they've used the company three or more times over the years. A 2025 review described the crew clearing 70 years of accumulated items from a basement and garage, and another 2025 review described them helping move furniture for a 96-year-old relative who could no longer live alone. Multiple reviewers specifically say that knowing their items would be recycled or donated, rather than landfilled, mattered to them.

One review carries a 1-star rating even though its text is entirely positive, calling the job 'marvelous' and saying the reviewer would 'highly recommend this group' — almost certainly a mis-clicked star rather than a real complaint, since nothing else in six years of reviews describes a bad experience.

For a residential or office clean-out where you'd rather the stuff get reused than landfilled, it's a strong call — Fred personally handles most scheduling, so a quick call or text is usually the fastest way to get a same-week pickup.

**Strengths:**
- Community recycling record — years of partnerships with towns and utilities on donation drives
- Fred personally responsive — reviewers cite same-day and next-day scheduling
- Big jobs handled — a 2025 review cited clearing 70 years of basement contents

**Concerns:**
- One odd rating — a 1-star review's text is entirely positive, likely a mis-click

**Where sources disagree:**
- One review's 1-star rating conflicts with its own review text, which is entirely positive
