How trash and bulky items work in Wilmington
Casella picks up trash weekly and recycling every other week, on your regular day, with barrels out by 6:30 a.m. Bulky items, mattresses, TVs and white goods are scheduled by phone at 978-535-6312, and you are told which day to set them out. Mattresses, box springs, TVs and appliances are $25 each, paid by phone.
The town pages do not list a price for furniture or an item limit per pickup, so ask when you call. Because every item is a separate appointment, a house with five or six large things can wait a week or more for a slot.
Capes, ranches and garages
Most Wilmington homes are Capes, Colonials, split-entries and ranches, usually with a driveway and an attached garage. That means truck access is easy, and the jobs are mostly garages, basements and attic crawl spaces. Split-entry houses have a half flight of stairs between every level, which is a tight turn for a sofa or a washer.
Our pickup is priced by item or trailer load: a regular dresser is $99, a sofa $139, a ½ trailer $319 and a full trailer $519. Minimum pickup is $159.
What the town will not take
The Yard Waste Center on Old Main Street takes residents' leaves and brush only, on selected Wednesdays and Saturdays, with a $15 punch card. Hazardous waste has its own free resident day once a year; the 2026 event was reported as May 9 at 22 Carter Lane. Paint, solvents and fuel cannot go in the barrel.
Savers at 235 Main St. takes clean housewares and small furniture. For the large pile, old appliances and mixed junk, we load it from the garage or basement the same visit.

What a pickup in Wilmington looks like.
- Where
- Wilmington is a town about 15 miles north of Boston, bordered by Woburn, Burlington, Billerica, Tewksbury, Andover, Reading and North Reading. It is roughly 12 miles from JUNKRUN's Melrose base, about a 20-minute drive off Route 93.
- County and population
- Middlesex County. 23,349 residents (2020 U.S. Census).
- Neighborhoods
- Town Center, Silver Lake, North Wilmington, West Wilmington
- Homes
- Mostly single-family Capes, Colonials, split-entries and ranches on driveways, so garages, basements and attics are the usual cleanout spaces (town research notes, 2026-10-29).
- Seasonal notes
- Anything set out overnight gets wet, and curbside barrels must be out by 6:30 a.m.
- Access and parking
- Driveways are typical, so truck access is usually easy. Wilmington has no general transfer station; the Yard Waste Center takes leaves and brush only. A dumpster or POD street permit rule was not found, so call Town Hall before placing one on the street.
Landmarks: Silver Lake, Harnden Tavern, Wilmington Town Hall.
