Bulky item pickup in Tewksbury

Four furniture pieces lined up at the curb of a Tewksbury ranch house in early autumn light

How the four-item limit works

The town page says Republic collects bulk items and electronics and that furniture pickup is free, with a limit of four items. You schedule by phone; items put out without a booking are a common reason they get left. Other bulk items carry a fee on the town price list; a TV up to 24 inches is $34.53 as of July 1, 2025.

Spreading a large clear-out across several weeks is permitted but slow. Four items means four: a dining table counts separately from its six chairs, and a sectional's sections may be counted individually, so ask when you call.

When to skip the wait

Use a private pickup when you are inside a closing date, when the pile is bigger than four pieces, or when it includes things the free route excludes. A move-out week is the classic case: two bookcases, a futon, a desk and a recliner is five items.

Our per-piece prices: small table or desk $59, tall bookcase $79, recliner $89, loveseat $89, regular dresser $99, sofa $139. The $159 minimum means roughly two to three mid-size pieces fill a visit, so combine them. Pieces still in good shape can go to Savers in Wilmington (small furniture) or the Essex County ReStore in Lawrence.
