Quick answers

Can I put a couch out with the trash in Massachusetts?

+

It depends on the town. Some pick up one bulky item a week, some need a sticker or a call to the hauler, and some have no curbside pickup at all. Find your town below.

Can I put a mattress out with the trash?

+

No. Massachusetts bans mattresses and box springs from the trash. Towns run their own recycling programs, often for a fee.

What if my town has no dump?

+

Many towns do not. Use the town's bulky pickup, a private hauler, or JUNKRUN: couch $139, mattress $99, $159 minimum.
