Garage cleanout in Tyngsborough
Sorting by town program
The town guide splits garage contents this way. Anything labeled hazardous, flammable, poisonous, corrosive or explosive, and tires, go to Household Hazardous Waste Day; the 2026 date was October 17, 9 am to 12:30 pm at the DPW, and other dates are on the town website. Scrap metal and cardboard go to the Recycling Center at 89 Kendall Road. Electronics and appliances go to Zero Waste Day, normally the first Saturday of May and November, 9 am to noon at the DPW, or to Republic for a fee.
By the town's rule the next Zero Waste Day is Saturday, November 7, 2026; check the website.
What stickers cost
Bikes, bureaus, desks, headboards and lawn furniture are the bulky stickers: $15 each for orange, free for wood chairs, mirrors, end tables and plastic lawn furniture. Wood in 50-pound bundles also goes out with an orange sticker, and so do carpets.
One car battery can go to Interstate Battery at 86 Progress Avenue in Tyngsboro; Westford's guide says a pallet behind the building is reachable around the clock, but call to confirm. A garage with ten bulky items costs $150 in stickers before you add the sorting work.
A single-visit alternative
The trailer is priced by volume rather than by item: a quarter trailer is $209, a half $319, three-quarters $409, a full trailer $519. That fits a one-car garage at a half and a two-car at three-quarters to full. We handle bicycles, shelving, lawn furniture, bins, lumber and old appliances (appliances priced per item). We do not take paint, fuel, pesticides or tires; keep those for the town's hazardous waste day. Tell us up front if the garage has a workbench that is bolted down, a freezer with food in it or anything heavy over a stair, so the crew and the trailer size match the job.
