Bulky Item Pickup in Everett, MA

The overflow-week rules

The city's program is a holiday overflow week, which in 2026 followed July 4th. You pick up bulk stickers at City Hall and register by the end of the day Thursday before the week. You can set out up to 3 items. It applies only to single-, two- and three-family households, so owners and tenants in larger apartment buildings are left out. The city lists items it will not take on this program: mattresses, box springs, construction materials, hazardous waste and white goods. That means a desk or an armchair is fine, but a bed set is not. The next overflow week has not been posted. Call 3-1-1 or 617-394-2270 to ask when it is.

Moving bulky items out of an Everett triple-decker

The problem with a heavy dresser in Everett is usually not the curb; it is the staircase. Many buildings have two flights, a turn at the landing and a back porch stair, and most of these pieces cannot be carried safely by one person. A small dresser is $99 with JunkRun; a regular one is also $99. A sofa is $139, a chair $69. Pickups have a $159 minimum, so stack a bookcase, a dresser and a table into one visit to use it. Items bound for donation, such as solid wood furniture, are dropped off where possible. Goodwill's Somerville store takes furniture only under 50 pounds, so heavier pieces usually need a different route.

Check before you set bulky items out in Everett

  • Is your home a one-, two- or three-family house? Larger buildings are not in the city's bulk program.
  • Did you get up to 3 bulk stickers from City Hall before Thursday of the week before?
  • Is the item a mattress, box spring, appliance or construction scrap? The city program rejects these.
  • Is the item out by your street's normal pickup time and not blocking a hydrant or driveway?
  • Is it a day outside the overflow week? Then the city will not take it; book a private pickup.
