Lynn dump and transfer station guide
What the Lynn DPW drop-off takes
The drop-off at 250 Commercial St accepts mattresses ($35), TVs ($25), computer monitors ($25), propane tanks ($5), fluorescent bulbs (free) and plastic caps and lids. Hours on the 2026-27 calendar are Monday to Thursday 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and Friday 8:30 a.m. to noon; the web page says 11:30 on Friday.
It is for Lynn residents only. Bring a driver's license, and do not bring a commercial vehicle or U-Haul truck. No winter hours are posted.
Call 781-268-8000 before you go, because the sources list different Friday hours and different phone numbers.
Bulky Item Days at 247 Commercial St
Next door, 247 Commercial St is the site where the city's free Bulky Item Days run, 8 a.m. to noon on set Saturdays. It takes furniture and large household items, and refuses construction material, wood, paint and hazardous items.
Between the days it is not open for walk-in drop-off. The DPW calendar lists the dates; November 7, 2026 is next.
The city page lists the site as Covanta, and the 2026-27 calendar as Reworld. Plan a pickup truck or a trailer, because you unload the items yourself, and arrive before noon, when the event ends.
When to use a hauler instead
If the load includes construction debris, a mixed cleanout or more than a few pieces, the city sites will not take it. JUNKRUN picks up anything not hazardous at flat prices: $209 for a quarter trailer to $519 for a full trailer, with a $159 minimum.
A roll-off dumpster is a different option for a renovation, but a street dumpster permit was not found on the city site, so call the DPW before ordering one.
We bring the truck to your door and take the load to licensed recycling and disposal sites.
