Bulky items, white goods and other exceptions to normal curbside pickup are handled through the city's Waste Wizard lookup or by calling DPW; they are not part of regular trash pickup.

Malden does not collect mattresses with regular trash. It lists private vendors (ABH Services, Classic Cleanouts, HandUP, Junk Dispatch, Marvin Junk Removal) that pick up curbside or from inside the home.
