You want to know it is handled.
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 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.

Furniture, mattresses and appliances cannot go in the town carts, and the regulation sends them to the transfer station where they are paid for by weight or at a flat rate.
City cost & eligibility
From $25 per appliance without refrigerant at the transfer station, with a television or computer monitor at $35, a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner at $35, a tire without a rim at $15, and furniture, rugs, padding and clean-outs that have to cross the scale at $320 per ton. Marblehead residents with a valid calendar year facility sticker, paying by credit card, debit card or check only, with refrigerators and freezers arriving with the doors removed.
When & how
The transfer station at 5 Woodfin Terrace is open Monday through Saturday with the front gate open from 7:30 a.m. to 11:55 a.m. and again from 1 p.m. to 3:25 p.m., and the scale office closes at 11:45 a.m. and 3:15 p.m. It is closed on the listed holidays, including the day before New Year's, the day after Thanksgiving and the day before Christmas.
Get it ready
Remove the doors from every refrigerator and freezer before the trip, and keep roofing shingles, dirt, bricks, rocks and cement out of the load because solid fill and shingles are refused. Wood has to be cut to lengths no greater than four feet, and mattress or box spring fees are lower for a resident showing the facility sticker than for a commercial or unstickered load.
Carts for household waste, the transfer station for everything else
Trash and recycling go out in the town issued carts, and recyclable material must be separated and placed in the recycling cart rather than in bags in the trash, because the town follows the state waste disposal ban list and can refuse a non-compliant load. Materials too large or heavy for a cart, including furniture, mattresses and appliances, never go to the curb as a pile: the Board of Health regulation sends them to the transfer station on Woodfin Terrace and they are paid for there. Missed pickups and curbside questions go to the Health Department on 781-631-0212.
A facility sticker, the scale, and a card or check
The transfer station admits residents with a valid calendar year facility sticker, and the sticker covers dropping off trash, recycling and yard waste, leaving clothing for charities, taking free compost and using the Swap Shed. Loads such as furniture, rugs, padding, clean-outs, wood and construction material cross the scale and are charged by the ton, while appliances, screens, tires, porcelain fixtures, refrigerators and bedding carry flat fees, and the station takes credit cards, debit cards or checks rather than cash. Wood is cut to four feet or less, refrigerators and freezers arrive with the doors removed, and shingles and solid fill such as dirt, bricks, rocks and cement are refused.
The Swap Shed and the donation containers take usable items first
The volunteer run Swap Shed at the transfer station lets residents leave usable items for other residents to take at no charge, and any resident with a facility sticker may take items from it for free, with no vehicle admitted without a valid sticker. Clothing goes into the CMRK donation containers at the site, and the town also lists Turner Trucking and Salvage on Commercial Street in Lynn on 781-595-3741 as an alternative for refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.

Call Turner Trucking and Salvage on Commercial Street in Lynn on 781-595-3741 before hauling the unit.
The town's own route is the transfer station, where a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner carries a flat fee and must arrive with the doors removed, so the salvage option depends on what the company is accepting.
