Bulky items at the curb (couch, dresser)

Mattresses and box springs

Mattresses cannot go out with curbside trash or the bulky collection; they get a rejection sticker and are not picked up. The town lists recyclers (G. Mello Transfer Station in Georgetown, Green Mattress in North Andover, UTEC in Lowell, Tough Stuff in Fitchburg).

Appliances

Appliances go out on the same four Friday collections, registered and paid online. Gas and oil must be removed first.

Fee: With Freon (refrigerators, freezers, A/C, dehumidifiers) $40; without Freon (washers, dryers, stoves, dishwashers, water heaters) and oversized metal $5.
