Bulky item pickup in Tyngsborough
The sticker system
The Board of Health sells the stickers in person at 25 Bryant Lane or online, and mails online orders to you. Orange stickers cost $15 per item. A sectional counts per piece, so a three-piece sectional is $45. The orange list covers upholstered couches and chairs, loveseats, large tables, desks, bureaus and sideboards, toilets, entertainment centers, windows, wood file cabinets, bathtubs, wood in 50-pound bundles, carpeting, bicycles, headboards, sinks and vanities, and wooden doors.
The pink-sticker list is free: wood chairs, mirrors, end tables, children's toys under 50 pounds and plastic lawn furniture.
Where the stickers do not help
The town says there are no curbside bulky collections at Merrimac Commons, Merrimac Landing, Tyng Village, Tyngsboro Crossing, Villages of Maple Ridge, Whispering Pines or Wyndbrook at Tyngsboro. Mattresses and textiles are never collected. Electronics and appliances need Zero Waste Day or a call to Republic Services (978-649-7564), which charges a fee.
If your item is not on either list, or you have a pile instead of one piece, a sticker per item adds up quickly. Heavier pieces such as a pool table, a hot tub or a stone-top table are not on the town's lists, so ask the Board of Health at 978-649-2300 x118 before assuming a sticker covers them.
Compare the cost
Three bulky stickers are $45, which is less than our $159 minimum, and the town route is cheaper for one or two items. Our prices by item are sofa $139, loveseat $89, regular dresser $99, regular table $79 and bookcase $49 to $79. Cleanouts by load: quarter $209, half $319, three-quarters $409.
We make sense when the pile is bigger than three stickers, when it includes mattresses or a TV, or when you live in a complex the town excludes. We also take items the sticker system leaves out, such as a mattress, a flat-screen TV ($59) or a refrigerator ($149), and the crew carries from the room rather than from the curb, which matters if the item is on a second floor.
