Bulky items at the curb (couch, dresser)

Two bulky items per week, such as sofas, chairs, recliners and lawn furniture, may be set out at the curb on your regular trash day. The city's page says furniture is collected without calling.

Mattresses and box springs

Mattresses and box springs are not picked up on your regular trash day. The city lists Mattress Recycling at 617-837-1299 (South Shore Recycle), which schedules pickup by vehicle and staff availability, with an online scheduler linked from the city page.

Appliances

Curbside pickup of stoves, refrigerators, washers, dryers, dehumidifiers and water heaters is booked through Capitol Waste at 855-533-3400. The How Can I Get Rid Of page and the Waste and Recycling page say call by 3 p.m. one full business day before your trash day (a Monday pickup calls the Friday before); the Waste and Recycling pages say two full business days. TVs and monitors are two. The DPW Yard takes washers, dryers, water heaters, stoves and air conditioners but not refrigerators or dishwashers.

Electronics and TVs

TVs and monitors are booked curbside with Capitol Waste at 855-533-3400, two full business days ahead, per the How Can I Get Rid Of page; that page says they are not accepted at the DPW Yard. The Recycling page says only 2 TVs per household per year at the Recycling Center. The DPW Yard takes home, entertainment and business electronics from residents.
