Bulky item pickup in Natick, MA

How the Monday pickup works

The program is meant for items that won't fit in a Blue PAYT bag. If you submit your request by 3:00pm Thursday, your pickup day will be the following Monday. If that Monday is a holiday, add a week. Payment is online, by e-check if you have no card, or in person at 75 West Street by check only. Refunds are not given once payment is processed.

One truck takes metal, another takes everything else, and a third takes mattresses and box springs, so items may leave at different times of day. Email bulkytrash@natickma.org if something is still there at 4 p.m.

What counts and what doesn't

Accepted as one of the five: couches, desks, dressers, entertainment centers, patio furniture, bed frames, rugs, grills, bikes, exercise equipment, water heaters, snow blowers and lawn mowers (drain fluids, remove batteries), and stoves, refrigerators and freezers with the doors removed. Items that fit in a bag go out with regular trash.

Excluded: windows, doors, toilets, flooring, lumber, tile and other construction material. Also refused: canoes, fence sections, pianos, pool tables, swimming pools, tires and wooden swingsets.

Only five accepted items per week can go out, and extras are stickered and left. A split box spring counts as two.

Who is left out, and what to do then

The town's page says bulky pickup is for residents with curbside service and not available for businesses or apartment buildings. Condo associations, landlords clearing a unit and anyone cleaning out an estate with more than five pieces need another route.

November adds a snag: the page says no bulky runs on Mondays during Fall leaf collection, and the 2026 leaf Mondays are November 9, 16, 23 and 30. Call 508-647-6550 before you book to learn your date.

JUNKRUN has no item cap and no day restriction. A sofa is $139, a tall bookcase $79, a bed frame $109, and a quarter trailer $209, flat, carried out from inside.

Booking a Natick bulky pickup, step by step

  1. Check it qualifies

    Furniture, appliances and equipment from the accepted list. No construction debris, tires, pianos or pool tables.

  2. Prepare the items

    Remove fridge and freezer doors. Drain fluids and take batteries out of mowers, snow blowers and bikes.

  3. Book and pay

    Online by e-check or card, or at the DPW, 75 West Street, by check. Refunds are not given.

  4. Beat Thursday 3 p.m.

    Booking by then means the next Monday; later means the Monday after.

  5. Set out the items

    At the curb at the address on your form, with nothing in bags. Look for a sticker if something is left behind.
