Junk removal in Tewksbury, MA
NO SURPRISES.
This page is for hiring JUNKRUN in Tewksbury: prices, what we take, how booking works. For what the town itself does, see Tewksbury bulky item pickup rules, Tewksbury leaf pickup, fall 2026, Tewksbury dumpster rental and permit, Tewksbury dump and bulky pickup.
Start with what the town gives you free
Trash goes out Wednesday in town-issued carts, with a $5 overflow sticker for each extra bag under 50 pounds. Construction material is barred from overflow bags. Furniture is free at the curb through Republic Services, up to four items, but you must call 800-442-9006 to schedule it; other bulk items may carry a fee.
Electronics cannot go in regular trash, and the town's hazardous waste day is held at the Senior Center, 175 Chandler Street (the 2026 day was Saturday, June 20, 9 am to 1 pm). So a basement clean-out here usually splits three ways: furniture to Republic, electronics and chemicals to dated events, and everything else to a truck.
Ranches, split-levels and the Route 38 corridor
Housing leans towards ranches, split-levels and Colonials built through the 1960s and 70s. That means attached garages, full basements and sheds, and plenty of hand-me-down furniture. Driveways are generally wide enough for a trailer, so crews usually load from the garage door rather than carry down stairs.
Tewksbury sits close to Lowell, Andover and Wilmington, so donation options are within a short drive. Savers on Main Street in Wilmington is just over the line, and the Goodwill drop-off lot is in Chelmsford. For a load that is half-trashed, half-donatable, sort at the door and we take the discard pile.
Where the town stops
Republic will not take mattresses or box springs; the town sends residents to UTEC. It also will not take renovation debris in an overflow bag. Five dressers and a sofa is more than the four-item limit.
JunkRun pricing is per item or by trailer load: $159 minimum, a quarter load $209, a half $319, a full trailer $519. If you only have one sofa, the free town route is the better deal. Photograph the pile and send it with your street and the stairs involved, and the quote comes back as a firm number rather than a range.

- Where
- Tewksbury sits between Lowell and Andover in Middlesex County, along Route 38 and I-495, with Billerica and Wilmington to the south. It is roughly 22 miles north-northwest of Melrose by road.
- County and population
- Middlesex County. 31,342 (2020 Census) residents (U.S. Census Bureau, 2020 Decennial Census; https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/).
- Neighborhoods
- Tewksbury Center, North Tewksbury, East Tewksbury, South Tewksbury
- Homes
- Mostly single-family ranches, split-levels and Colonials, so jobs are usually garages, basements, sheds and yard debris (Roviq town research). Some apartment and condo complexes sit along Route 38.
- Seasonal notes
- Oak and maple leaf drop runs into November, after the town's first yard waste weeks.
- Access and parking
