Bulky item pickup in Lynnfield, MA
How the Lynnfield sticker works
Buy the sticker at the DPW office, 55 Summer St (Monday to Thursday 8 to 4:30, Friday 8 to 1). It is $10 per item and non-refundable. Put it on the item before trash day and have the item on the curb by 7 a.m.
Accepted: a bed frame, a chair, a headboard or footboard, a patio umbrella, a sofa section, a table, and wooden or upholstered furniture that two people can carry. One rug roll up to 9 by 12 feet counts too. Call 781-334-9500 with questions.
The one-a-week limit
Only one bulky item goes out per week, so a sectional with three sections takes three weeks, and a house with a bed, a dresser and a sofa takes three. Mattresses and box springs are not covered by the bulky sticker, and appliances have their own white-goods rules.
That is why larger Lynnfield jobs go to a hauler. A couch is $139, a loveseat $89, a chair $69 and a sectional $109 per piece, picked up all at once.
Check your trash day on the town streets listing, since the sticker only works on that day, and buy the next sticker the same week you set the first item out.
Heavy items and bad weather
A sleeper sofa or sectional weighs over 200 pounds, and a curbside pile left out overnight in a fall rain is soaked and heavy by 7 a.m. Set it out the morning of your day if you can, not before.
If you cannot carry it to the curb, we take it from the house, garage or basement. The crew brings dollies and straps, and floors do not add to the price.
On the curb by 7 a.m. means the item sits through any early-morning rain, so a wet upholstered chair may be refused; cover it with a tarp if the forecast is wet.
