Bulky item pickup in Stoneham, MA

A wooden bookcase and a tied carpet roll at the curb beside a trash barrel in front of a Stoneham colonial

The 50-pound line

The town's rule is simple: one bulk item per week, under 50 lbs, set out with trash by 7 a.m. Carpet counts, but it must be rolled and tied in 3-foot lengths that each weigh under 50 lbs. The service is for residential trash customers only.

Most furniture misses that limit. A real wood dresser or a sofa is well past 50 lbs, so the next step is Casella at 1-800-950-9293. They schedule the pickup and may add a transaction fee on top of the item fee; Stoneham does not post the amounts, so ask when you book.

Metal, appliances and TVs go somewhere else

Bulk pickup does not cover metal or electronics. A stove, washer, dryer or water heater goes to the Stevens Street Recycling Center for a $10 permit, during its seasonal hours. Refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, TVs, monitors and printers are $20 each, and refrigerator and freezer doors must be removed first. Every visit also needs the vehicle sticker from the DPW at 16 Pine St.

If the item is in a basement and you do not have a pickup truck, the town route stops being practical, which is the usual reason people call us.

Flat prices for bulky pieces

We price by size, not by weight. A small table or desk is $59, a regular dresser $99, a large dresser $139, a loveseat $89 and a sofa $139. The minimum pickup is $159, so it is cheapest to add several pieces to one visit: a regular dresser ($99), a tall bookcase ($79) and a chair ($69) come to $247. We carry all of it from wherever it sits, whether that is a bedroom, an attic or a basement, and nothing needs to be moved to the curb first. Text photos and the price comes back as one number.

Before you set a bulk item out in Stoneham

  • Weigh it or lift one end: it must be under 50 lbs.
  • Only one bulk item per week, not one per bag.
  • Roll carpet and tie it in 3-foot lengths, each under 50 lbs.
  • Have it at the curb by 7 a.m. with regular trash.
  • Take metal, white goods and TVs to Stevens Street instead.
  • Heavier pieces: call Casella at 1-800-950-9293 and ask the fee.

Quick answers

Does the one-item rule apply to renters?

+

It applies to residential trash customers. A landlord who pays for private hauling may have different rules, so ask the building owner.

What if I have three bulk items this week?

+

Put out one under 50 lbs and call Casella for the rest, or book one JUNKRUN visit for all three.

Is Casella's heavy-item fee posted?

+

No. The town says fees apply but does not list them.
