You have decided what is going. Now give those bags and boxes a pickup day, with a price you can see before anyone arrives.
Book the unwanted bags and boxes left after packing. Choose an available pickup day before you hand back the keys, and arrange to have them outside.
You do not need a whole house of junk. Select the bags, boxes and larger items you actually have. Your combined price is shown online.
When the next collection does not fit your plans, choose a Dropcurb pickup day. Updates keep you informed, and completion photos show when the booked items are gone.
A clear count. An exact price.
A few simple choices turn a mixed pile into a clear booking. No need to estimate how much of a truck it might fill.
Count each trash bag or filled household box. Books and media go by the box. Clothes, bedding and shoes go by the filled bag. Toys packed together have a Box of toys choice. Ask us about unusually heavy or oversized bags and boxes first.
Empty cardboard is a different choice: choose single empty boxes or tied bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Compacted bales have their own weight-based choices and require loading-dock access. A Storage bin choice covers the empty bin itself; ask us to confirm the contents if they are going too.
Add the actual larger item alongside your bags and boxes, such as a sofa, chair or mattress. It has its own price and preparation. Keep construction materials and items needing special handling out of ordinary household bags.
First item / additional item

The local disposal guide
Bulk junk removal in Fitchburg: start with the item’s collection rules, then choose the arrangement that fits.
Reviewed · Sources below
Household furniture, couches, chairs and rugs are bulk items in Fitchburg and are collected once they are scheduled with the Health Department, never by simply leaving them at the curb.
Tires are a waste ban item, so they are never bulk and never curbside, and they go to the landfill drop off for the published per tire fee.
An air conditioner or dehumidifier is a waste ban item with its own published landfill drop off fee, and it never goes out as bulk or trash.
Washers, dryers, stoves, dishwashers, water heaters and refrigerant appliances are white goods with published landfill drop off fees and no curbside route.
Mattresses and box springs have had to be recycled in Massachusetts since November 2022, and Fitchburg publishes three ways to do it.
The handoff matters
Carts go out no earlier than 12 hours before collection with the serial numbers facing the street, keep three feet of space between carts, and come back inside the building within 12 hours after collection. Carts are never placed behind cars, poles or signs, the lid has to close, and hazardous waste, recycling and large amounts of liquid such as paint never go in the trash cart.

A free bulk item pass is the alternative for a resident who would rather take the same items to the landfill drop off, and proof of residency is required for the pass.

Each one goes to a recycling facility or to the landfill drop off, where white goods, refrigerant units, tires and televisions each carry a published fee that is paid before the load arrives.

Before you book
Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Fitchburg.
A trash bag is $59 as the first item and $10 additional. A filled household box is $59 as the first item. Add your actual items and quantities to see the combined price before booking. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; any applicable sales tax is shown before payment.
Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Available dates appear at checkout. Have the booked bags and boxes outside and accessible according to your confirmation. You receive pickup updates and completion photos; the booking is for a day rather than an exact arrival time.
No. Count the filled bags or boxes using the matching choice. Books and media go in Filled household box; clothes, bedding and shoes go in Bag of clothes & bedding; packed toys have a Box of toys choice. Empty cardboard is separate, with individual empty boxes and bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Heavy, oversized or unusual contents need a photo review before booking.
Yes. Estimate how many trash bags the small household pile would fill, and bag or box as much as possible. Select furniture and other larger items separately. There is no extra charge just because the pile is loose. Send a photo first if the count or contents are unclear. A household Dumpster Bag choice does not accept construction debris.
Yes. Select the bags and boxes, then add each larger item using its own catalog choice. The booking shows one combined price for the selected items. Move everything to an accessible outdoor spot before pickup; indoor carrying and sorting are not included. Keep anything you want to retain apart from the booked items and identify what goes in your photos and notes.
Schedule it with the Health Department first, because furniture, couches, chairs and rugs are bulk items that may not be left at the curb until a pickup is booked. The City charges a published per item fee with a 75 pound per item limit, and a free bulk item pass is the other route if you would rather take it to the landfill drop off on Route 31 yourself.Official guidance
No. The City lists tires as waste ban material rather than bulk items, and waste ban material is not collected at the curb. Tires go to the landfill drop off on 101 Fitchburg Road, where car and light truck tires and truck tires carry separate published fees that are paid before disposal. The City page also links a free off rim tire programme, but that linked page no longer loads, so ask the Health Department at 978-829-1870 whether any curbside option remains.Official guidance
Pay the published waste ban fee and take it to the landfill drop off on 101 Fitchburg Road, because white goods are waste ban items that are not collected at the curb and are not bulk items. A dehumidifier and a refrigerator or freezer carry the same published fee. Ask the Health Department at 978-829-1870 whether the unit has to be drained or documented before it arrives, because the City publishes the fee but not a preparation rule.Official guidance
The landfill publishes a fee for each white good: a dishwasher, stove, washer, dryer, water heater or space heater carries one published charge, while an air conditioner, dehumidifier, refrigerator or freezer carries a higher one. Every fee is paid to the Health Department or online before the unit is brought in, and the load needs a landfill sticker or a free recycling permit. White goods never go at the curb, because they are waste ban items rather than bulk.Official guidance
Mattresses and box springs have had to be recycled since November 2022, and the City publishes three options: a scheduled drop off at Tough Stuff Recycling on 145 Authority Drive for a per item fee, the mattress container at the landfill drop off for a higher per item fee, or curbside collection through the same recycler for a third published fee with storage bags supplied by the Health Department. None of them is the rubbish cart.Official guidance
The Health Department at City Hall, 718 Main Street, runs curbside rubbish, recycling and the bulky item programme for single family homes and buildings up to eight units, and it answers on 978-829-1870 from Monday to Friday between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. The landfill drop off on Route 31 is the city's own site, reached with a landfill sticker or a permit obtained from the same department.Official guidance
A scheduled curbside bulk item carries the published per item charge with a 75 pound limit, while waste ban items dropped at the landfill carry their own fees that are paid before disposal, covering white goods, refrigerant units, tires, televisions and monitors and mattresses. Permits cost one published annual rate for a property owner and a higher one otherwise, and a one day pass covers a clean out or construction debris up to one ton.Official guidance
Massachusetts banned mattresses and box springs from disposal on November 1, 2022, so Fitchburg publishes three recycling routes instead: a scheduled drop off at the mattress recycler on Authority Drive, the mattress container at the landfill drop off, or a curbside collection through the same recycler, each with its own published per item fee. The Health Department supplies storage bags so a mattress can be kept dry until the collection.Official guidance
