What Peabody's program covers
The city's contractor, JRM Hauling & Recycling, collects trash and recycling weekly. Trash is limited to three barrels or bags a household (36 gallons and 50 pounds each); recycling is unlimited. One bulk item per week, such as a sofa, loveseat, chair, table, desk or bookcase, goes out with it at no charge.
Appliances and TVs need a $20 sticker per item, mattresses and box springs need one each, and large or awkward bulk items are priced by JRM. The regulations sheet dates from 2011, so confirm current limits at 978-536-0600.
What it does not cover
The Recycling Center at 50 Farm Ave takes no household trash, construction material or hazardous material. A renovation load, a cellar full of mixed items or a whole apartment cleanout has no city route.
That is where a hauler fits: we take furniture, appliances, boxes, yard debris and construction leftovers from any floor, priced by the load ($209 quarter, $319 half, $409 three-quarter, $519 full) with a $159 minimum.
If you are clearing a unit before a sale or a lease end, send photos and we quote before the crew comes. The price is flat, with no fee for stairs.
Older two- and three-families, newer condos
Near Peabody Square, old two- and three-families have steep cellar stairs and narrow back halls, while the condo and apartment buildings around the Northshore Mall may have elevators or loading rules set by the property manager. Tell us the layout when you book.
We load from the driveway or curb. If the building has a loading rule, give us the property manager's number.
Parking in front of an older two-family is usually on the street, so a clear spot or an open driveway helps. We stage the trailer wherever the building allows and carry everything out by hand to it.
