A clear count. An exact price.

Count the bags and boxes, not everything inside.

A few simple choices turn a mixed pile into a clear booking. No need to estimate how much of a truck it might fill.

Filled bags and boxes

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 and containers

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.

Furniture and other larger items

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.

Bulk junk removal in Holliston: start with the item’s collection rules, then choose the arrangement that fits.

Reviewed · Sources below

Furniture and rugs

Accepted with preparation

Furniture is collected by appointment rather than left at the curb, and rugs have their own rule: cut them into three foot lengths, bundle them, and set the bundle out on the collection day with a town sticker.

City cost & eligibility
A rug bundle carries the town's published 2 dollar sticker, while a furniture pickup is quoted by E.L. Harvey and no rate is printed, so confirm the collection day, the accepted piece and any charge on 800-321-3002 before setting the item out.
When & how
Call E.L. Harvey on 800-321-3002 to arrange the furniture collection, or put a bundled rug at the curb on the regular collection day with a sticker attached.
Get it ready
Cut rugs into three foot lengths and bundle them, keep each furniture piece whole enough for the crew to lift, and keep the pile clear of the carts and the driveway.

Harvey including rugs and tires, the mattress recycling requirement, the Marshall Street Recycling Center decal and accepted and prohibited lists, the textile donation bins, curbside food waste composting with Black Earth, the other drop-off options and the household hazardous waste collection day with its consortium schedule

Bulky items, appliances and tires

Accepted with preparation

The loads the carts cannot take, including appliances, doors, water heaters and tires, leave through the scheduled bulky collection with E.L. Harvey, and the town caps curb tires at four a year with no more than one a week.

City cost & eligibility
The town publishes the tire limits but no rate for a scheduled bulky pickup, because the hauler quotes each load, so confirm the item, the collection day and the charge on 800-321-3002 before the piece goes out.
When & how
Call E.L. Harvey on 800-321-3002 to schedule the pickup; tires without rims may go to the curb four times a year, one per week at most.
Get it ready
Keep the item off the curb until the pickup is arranged, keep tires off the rims, and keep household chemicals and hazardous material out of the load because those are refused at the curbside and handled on the hazardous waste day instead.

Televisions, monitors and electronics

Accepted with preparation

Electronics go to the Marshall Street Recycling Center rather than the carts, and the town prices them per item: televisions, computer monitors, exercise equipment and lawnmowers each need a town sticker.

City cost & eligibility
$20 per electronic item dropped at the Marshall Street Recycling Center with a town sticker. Holliston residents with a recycling center car decal or a one day pass, with the sticker bought at Town Hall or one of the listed stores before the trip.
When & how
Take the device to the Marshall Street Recycling Center on a Saturday between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m., with the decal and the sticker in place, or use the Sunday opening when the town announces one for the winter.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data before handover, keep the set whole and dry, and keep electronics out of both carts, because the center is the route the town publishes for them.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Cart placement and the holiday slide

Put the town-issued carts at the curb by 6:30 a.m. on your collection day, facing the street with the handles and wheels away from it, the trash cart on the left and the recycling cart on the right as you face the street, and at least three feet between them. When a collection day falls on one of the town's listed holidays, that day and the rest of the week slide by one day, so a Friday route runs on Saturday.

Stickers, the cart weight limit and the 65 and over allowance

Each trash cart carries a forty pound limit and the first standard cart each week needs no sticker. Every additional bag needs a town sticker bought before collection, and residents 65 and over can collect up to six free stickers a year at Town Hall with proof of residence and ownership of the pickup address. Cart problems that are not about the hauler are handled by the Select Board office, and a missed route is a call to the hauler.

Town of Holliston Department of Public Works with E.L. Harvey and Black Earth

Schedule the bulky load with E.L. Harvey

A household with furniture, an appliance, a door, a water heater, a mattress or tires that the carts will not take.

Cost & conditions
The town publishes the route and the tire limits but no rate, because the hauler quotes each scheduled load, so confirm the item and the charge on 800-321-3002 before the collection.
Arrange it
Call E.L. Harvey on 800-321-3002, describe the item, and put it out on the day the hauler gives you. Tires without rims can also go to the curb four times a year, one per week at most.

Mattresses and box springs cannot simply be thrown away, because Massachusetts requires them to be recycled, so the retailer take-back or the scheduled hauler collection is the route. Household hazardous waste is not part of this load.

Town of Holliston Department of Public Works with E.L. Harvey and Black Earth

Drop material at the Marshall Street Recycling Center

A household with yard waste, cardboard, textiles, scrap metal, electronics, mattresses, carpets, exercise equipment or a lawnmower to drop off on a Saturday.

Cost & conditions
$20 per electronic item such as a television, computer monitor, exercise machine or lawnmower dropped at the Marshall Street Recycling Center with a town sticker. Holliston residents with a recycling center car decal obtained at the Town Hall Treasurer's Office, which requires a driver's licence and a registration with a Holliston address, or a one day pass with proof of residence.
Arrange it
Get the decal or the one day pass first, buy the stickers for any electronic item at Town Hall or one of the listed stores, and drive to the center on a Saturday between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m., or on the Sunday opening when the town announces one for the winter.

Household recycling, household trash, hazardous waste, batteries and appliances are prohibited at the center, so those keep to the carts, the scheduled haul or the hazardous waste day. Textiles go to the donation bins at the center and on Washington Street rather than into the accepted pile.

Open the town recycling and solid waste page

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Holliston's self haul route is the Marshall Street Recycling Center, which takes trees and yard waste, cardboard, textiles, light bulbs and fluorescents, scrap metal and metal products, electronic waste, mattresses, televisions, CRTs and computer monitors, carpets, exercise equipment, lawnmowers and bicycles, while household recycling, household trash, hazardous waste, batteries and appliances are prohibited there. A car decal from the Town Hall Treasurer's Office, or a one day pass with proof of residence, is required to get in, and each electronic item needs the town sticker. Textiles also go to the collection bins in the parking lots at the center and at 1750 Washington Street, where CMRK and the Big Brother Big Sister Foundation take clean and dry clothes, linens, draperies, footwear and scrap fabric but not foam products. Household hazardous waste waits for the town collection day, which the committee page lists with the consortium events in the neighbouring towns and the voucher that the Selectmen's office issues for those.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Holliston.

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Holliston?

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.

Can you pick up bags of junk today?

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.

Do I count every object inside a bag or box?

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.

Can you pick up a small loose pile of household junk?

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.

Can I book bags, boxes and furniture together?

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.

Will Holliston take a couch at the curb?

Not on the routine cart route. Furniture is collected by appointment through E.L. Harvey on 800-321-3002, and rugs are the one soft item the curb takes when they are cut into three foot lengths, bundled and marked with a town sticker.Official guidance

How do I get rid of an appliance or old tires in Holliston?

Both are scheduled, not left out. Call E.L. Harvey on 800-321-3002 for the appliance, the door or the water heater, and for tires as well, because the curb only takes four tires a year without rims, with no more than one in a week.Official guidance

Where do televisions and computer monitors go in Holliston?

To the Marshall Street Recycling Center, which takes televisions, computer monitors, electronic waste, exercise equipment and lawnmowers with a town sticker on each item. A car decal or one day pass is required, and the center is open Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.Official guidance

What goes in the Holliston carts and when?

Garbage goes in the town-issued 35-gallon cart with the lid closed and a forty pound limit, and recyclables go in the 65-gallon cart, both at the curb by 6:30 a.m. on the collection day facing the street with three feet between them. A holiday moves that day and the rest of the week one day later.Official guidance

Does Holliston charge for trash collection?

The first standard cart each week needs no sticker, and every additional bag needs the town sticker bought before collection. Residents 65 and over can collect up to six free stickers a year at Town Hall with proof of residence and ownership of the address, and a scheduled bulky load is quoted separately by the hauler.Official guidance

Where do Holliston televisions and monitors go?

To the Marshall Street Recycling Center with a town sticker on each item, and the same applies to computer monitors, exercise equipment and lawnmowers. A car decal or a one day pass is required, and the center is open on Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.Official guidance

How are mattresses handled in Holliston?

Massachusetts requires mattresses and box springs to be recycled, so the easiest route is the retailer take-back when a new mattress is delivered, and otherwise the collection is arranged with E.L. Harvey on 800-321-3002. The recycling center also lists mattresses among the material it accepts.Official guidance
