RM Rubbish Junk Removal is an East Boston outfit built on speed: call, text a few photos, and by the reviews, they're back with a quote the same day and often on-site within the week. The company says founder Santos Rivas started out in his twenties helping people move things before buying a small box truck; his son Danny Rivas has since taken over what the site calls his late father's business, handling residential, commercial and construction clean-outs across Boston, East Boston, Cambridge and a string of nearby towns. The reviews line up around the same few names — Danny, Dan, Marlin — and the same story: the phone gets answered on the first or second ring, quotes land fast (one customer got a price within 15 minutes of texting photos and said it beat two competing quotes by 30%), and the crew shows up on time and finishes clean. One reviewer described a snowstorm forcing a reschedule that Danny handled without friction; another said a job hauling furniture left behind by tenants left no debris behind afterward. On Google, the company holds a 4.9★ average from 57 ratings, and its BBB file carries an A+ grade with no complaints or government actions on record. One thing worth a quick question before booking: how long the company's actually been running is unclear. BBB's file lists the corporation as started and incorporated in 2004 — 22 years — while the company's own site describes itself as having 'over a decade on the job' and self-reports 10 years in business. Worth asking directly if the history matters to you. For a same-day cleanout, an apartment or estate clear-out, or hauling away what a mover left behind, this is a business people call back — just confirm the tenure and get the quote in writing.
I highly recommend the wonderful team at RM Rubbish Removal! My phone call was answered right away, and they were able to give me a very reasonable estimate within the same day from photos that I texted. We scheduled within the week, and the team was communicative about their timing on the day of pick up. They were SO fast and efficient when it came to removal, plus very friendly and helpful. Thank you, RM Rubbish Removal--will definitely be using them again if/when needed!
Very professional and easy company to work with. I called to request a quote on disposing three pieces of furniture and was able to get an appointment in less than 48 hours. Price was reasonable and service was excellent. Would highly recommend to anyone and everyone!
Steve is the owner of this company, and when ever I call, he delivers on time and no questions asked, professionalism is the highest quality in the area, I recommend highly and you won’t be disappointed.
Danny answered my call on the second ring. He said they could pickup my sofa the next day, but when a snow storm shut Boston down, he rescheduled the pickup, no problem. I wish every service in Boston was so easy and pleasant.
Danny did a wonderful job hauling away my old furniture. It was easy to schedule, he charged exactly as estimated and the team showed up on time. I am very happy with how everything went. Won't hesitate to recommend to friends.
