Bulky item pickup in North Reading, MA

The free weekly item

Casella picks up one bulky item a week at no charge, and CRTs count toward that item. You schedule it by calling Casella Customer Care at 978-278-3122. The town page lists no weight limit or item list, so ask the rep what counts as one item when you call. A sofa is typically one item, but a sectional with three sections may not be.

For the free weekly item, put it out the way Casella confirms.

Appliances and the one-item limit

Casella charges a fee for appliances and white goods, quoted when you schedule. That means a replacement refrigerator can be handled, but a basement of old furniture will take several weeks if limited to one item at a time. Overflow trash bags ($25 per roll of 10) are for bagged trash and do not cover furniture.

People often rent a pickup and drive to another town, but those dumps are generally closed to non-residents.

Flat pricing for several items

JUNKRUN: sofa $139, loveseat $89, recliner $89, chair $69, sleeper sofa $189, regular dresser $99, armoire $179, regular table $79, dining or desk chair $16 when removed with a table. Carry-out from basements and upper floors is included. There is a $159 minimum, so two or three pieces make a visit worthwhile. Send photos for a confirmed price, and the crew carries out from the room instead of waiting on the curb. That helps when the one free pickup is already used for the week, or when the item is too heavy to move alone, like a sleeper sofa or an armoire.
