Bulky item pickup in Danvers, MA
How the Danvers sticker program works
Buy a $20 sticker for each item at the Town Hall Clerk's Office, the Business Division at 2 Burroughs St, or online. Put the sticker on the item. Call the number printed on the sticker the day before to schedule, then have the item at the curb by 7:00 am.
Covered items include furniture, carpet, major appliances (refrigerators and air conditioners included), gas grills, lawn equipment, TVs and monitors. Stickers must be on the item and the item at the curb, so a missing sticker or an item left on a porch may not be collected.
What the town will not take
Mattresses and box springs are separate and go through UTEC. Metal items and rigid plastics are not collected curbside; they can go to the Transfer Station at 1 East Coast Rd, which charges $0.17 a pound for miscellaneous metal and $50 for bulky items and requires proof of residency. Construction and demolition material is not collected curbside, and whole tires are banned from landfill disposal in Massachusetts.
A plastic playset, a metal shelving unit or a pile of drywall from a basement project is a common Danvers surprise for that reason.
When a flat price is easier
Three stickers is $60 and a morning of dragging furniture to the curb. JUNKRUN prices by item with no sticker, no 7:00 am deadline and carry-out from any floor: sofa $139, loveseat $89, chair $69, regular dresser $99, tall bookcase $79. The minimum pickup is $159, so it makes sense once you have a few items or a large one. Book by text or the online form with a photo and we confirm the price before the crew arrives, so there is no surprise at the door.
Before the Danvers bulky pickup day
- Buy one $20 sticker per item and stick it where the crew can see it.
- Call the number on the sticker the day before.
- Set items on the curb, not the porch or behind a gate, by 7:00 am.
- Empty refrigerators and freezers of food and unplug them a day ahead.
- Move metal and hard plastic items to a separate pile for the Transfer Station.
- Keep mattresses and box springs out of this pile; they have their own program.
