How trash and bulky pickup work in Topsfield
G. Mello Disposal collects trash weekly under a town contract that began July 1, 2025. Each household has one 35-gallon cart; a second cart is $65, and a yearly trash tag costs $180. Recycling is every other week in a 65-gallon cart.
Bulky items and appliances are collected on four Fridays a year: December 11, 2026, then March 12 and June 18, 2027. Register and pay online by 8 a.m. the Thursday before, with a limit of five items per date, out by 7 a.m. Bulk items are $20 each.
Gaps in the town program
Between those dates there is no bulky pickup. Mattresses, construction debris and tires are excluded from the bulky dates altogether. TVs and computers are not accepted curbside; the town points to the Boxford Recycling Center on Saturdays.
That leaves a lot uncovered: a barn clean-out, an estate, a renovation load or anything that cannot wait three months. These are the jobs we do.
The town's trash tag and cart rules also mean extra bags do not go out with weekly trash, since all trash must be in the cart.
Farmhouses, barns and long driveways
Older Topsfield houses have attics, root cellars and outbuildings full of stored items. The long driveways mean we park near the door; wooded lots and gravel drives are the usual access questions, so tell us what the road is like.
Pricing is by the load: $209 a quarter, $319 a half, $409 three-quarters and $519 full. A regular dresser is $99, a couch $139 and a standard appliance $119.
We confirm the number from photos before the crew comes.
Barns and sheds with dirt floors or no power are fine; tell us before we come.

What a pickup in Topsfield looks like.
- Where
- Topsfield is a small North Shore town about 25 miles north of Boston, bordered by Boxford, Ipswich, Hamilton, Wenham, Danvers and Middleton. From Melrose it is roughly a 30-minute drive on Route 1 or I-95.
- County and population
- Essex County. about 6,600 residents (2020 U.S. Census).
- Neighborhoods
- Town Center near the common, Boston Street (Route 1) corridor, River Road, Ipswich Road
- Homes
- Mostly single-family colonials and older farmhouses on larger lots, many with barns, sheds and detached garages. Cleanouts of an outbuilding, an attic or an estate are more common than apartment move-outs.
- Seasonal notes
- Leaves and brush pile up on wooded lots, and the town has no curbside yard waste pickup.
- Access and parking
- There is no town transfer station; the nearest facilities named by the town are G. Mello in Georgetown and the Boxford Recycling Center. Curbside bulky pickup happens on only four Fridays a year and needs advance online payment. Long driveways and wooded lots mean the trailer usually parks close to the door; dumpster permit rules were not found on the town site.
Landmarks: Topsfield Fairgrounds, Ipswich River Wildlife Sanctuary, Topsfield Town Common.
