The curbside bulky allowance

The city says two bulky items per week, sofas, chairs, recliners and lawn furniture, may be disposed of curbside, and the Waste and Recycling page adds that curbside furniture is collected without calling. Capitol Waste takes lawn mowers with the gas tank removed. No sticker or fee is posted. Have it out by 7 a.m. on your regular day, and no more than one day early. A collector is not required to lift anything over 50 lbs.

If something is missed, report it on the city's Missed Pick-up Form or call Capitol Waste Services at 855-533-3400. Checked November 2026.

Appliances, TVs and monitors

Call (855) 533-3400 to schedule curbside pick-up of stoves, refrigerators, washing machines, dryers, dehumidifiers, and water heaters. The city's pages give two lead times. The How Can I Get Rid Of list and the Waste and Recycling page say call by 3 p.m. one full business day ahead (for a Monday pickup, call the Friday before); the Waste and Recycling pages say two full business days, and TVs and monitors are two on the How Can I Get Rid Of list. Book two business days ahead and you are covered either way. Capitol Waste is 855-533-3400 on the Fall/Winter 2026-2027 InfoLetter phone list. The Recycling page caps TVs at 2 per household per year for yard drop-off, and the How Can I Get Rid Of list says TVs and monitors are booked curbside, so call before you load one.

You can also drive washers, dryers, water heaters, stoves and air conditioners to the DPW Yard at 55 Sea St. It does not take refrigerators or dishwashers.

When two items is not enough

Two pieces covers a sofa and a chair. It does not cover a bedroom set, a sectional in sections, a desk, a bookcase and a rug. Capitol Waste does not take rooms, basements or garages at all. A pickup with JUNKRUN is priced by the item: sofa $139, loveseat $89, sectional $109 a piece, regular dresser $99, armoire $179, standard appliance $119, with a $159 minimum. A truckload by volume is a quarter $209, half $319, three-quarter $409 or full $519.

In a triple-decker, we bring items down the front or back stairs and do not leave them in the hall. Tell us the floor.
