Mattress removal in Weymouth, MA

What the town and state say
As of November 1, 2022, mattresses are no longer allowed in the trash. They must be collected separately for reuse or recycling. On its trash page, the town sends mattress and box spring collection to HandUp Mattress Recycling at 774-271-8744. HandUp's own page lists Weymouth among the towns with regularly scheduled curbside pickup, with a Book Now link.
We could not read a curbside price for Weymouth on either page. Ask HandUp when you call. The bulky item notice does not mention mattresses, and the trash page routes them to HandUp, so book HandUp rather than Capitol Waste. Checked November 2026.
HandUp's drop-off and what it rejects
If you have a truck, HandUp takes mattresses at two sites in New Bedford: $40 per piece at 229 Coffin Avenue (Monday to Saturday, 9 am to 5 pm) and $35 at 100 Duchaine Boulevard (Monday to Friday, 8 am to 4 pm). That is a long drive from Weymouth for one item.
HandUp rejects a mattress that is heavily soiled, excessively wet or deformed, or visibly contains mold or bed bugs. A mattress left outside overnight in November can fall into the wet category, so keep it indoors until pickup.
JUNKRUN from the bedroom
Our flat prices are twin $89, full $99, queen $109 and king $129. Box springs are $59 to $99, and a plain frame is $109. The $159 minimum applies, so pair the mattress with its box spring or frame in one visit. A queen set is $188 for both.
Weymouth bedrooms are often upstairs in a Cape or colonial with a turn at the landing, and a queen box spring may not make it. The crew cuts it down inside when it will not turn. Say so when you text if it has bed bugs, and we bag it first.

HandUp curbside at 774-271-8744, a truck run to New Bedford, or JUNKRUN from inside.
